What is Deep Web? What dangers hiding?
Internet is not just what you see. It's also what you do not see. There is a lot of information that does not appear in regular search engines and that usually remain hidden to the public. Is called Deep Web. And it has lots of useful information, yes. But dangers to be avoided at all costs.
The Deep Web forms all the pages that search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc are not able to index. This is possible because many pages or documents are designed paraqué those seekers remain hidden. That is, the people who create them do not want to be po[CENSORED]r or easy to find. Many of those pages directly, require a password to be viewed.
The Deep Web is not small. Quite the contrary. In 2000, the Deep Web represented 45 times more information than the surface web, but today that number has greatly changed by the growth of phenomena such as social networks, blogs ... and Google itself. Today the most famous search engine in the world is a giant that brings out a lot more material than it did in 2000, so these figures are very outdated, but in any case, it is true that the Deep Web remains a huge area that remains hidden internet.
But ... what's in the Deep Web? What can be found there and why their creators did not want it to be easy to get that information? Much of the information is Deep Web databases whose creators want to keep out of the search engines. Another important part is stored information of organizations large amount of information, such as NASA. You can also find plenty of weather, economic data, etc. Other information that is hosted on Deep Web information is confidential Wikileaks type. And, considering the characteristics of the Deep Web, there is also information about criminal activities: drug dealing, pornography, pedophilia, sale and manufacture of arms, etc. This information is a serious danger to a child. Fortunately, this type of criminal pages constitute a small percentage of the Deep Web, but it is important to be alert to avoid at all costs that our youngest children have access to that information.
Is not normal for a child to access the Deep Web, because you have to configure the computer to dive this hidden part of the Internet. Remember that all the material on the Deep Web is not accessible current form, which must be accessed through a proxy server. The most common way to dive for the Deep Web is through the Tor network. It is a network that allows for anonymous connections and access such information without a trace.
To get around the Deep Web is necessary to have more advanced computer skills in common, so there is no danger that a child accesses it. But it can arouse the curiosity of teenagers who want to enter the world of the Deep Web. In this case, it is very important to talk to them and warn them of the dangers that can be found in these hidden web. It is likely that a teenager who wants to enter the Deep Web is not going to announce it to their parents or teachers, but from small they are used to make a responsible use of ICT will be safer if you want to dive in this hidden part of internet.
In this sense, education and awareness of the opportunities and risks of the Internet is essential. And it's not over, when necessary, talk to them about the Deep Web. Like everything else, the Deep Web can be useful in many cases, since there are a lot of interesting information impossible to find in regular site, but before entering this hidden web, the teen must know the red lines ever must cross and how to act when faced with risk.
------------------
My experience in the deep web was not very good, there will not find secret files, none of that, 70% of what I saw was pages for murderers, drugs, weapons and child pornography, really is a place for crazy people and insane.
I saw bloody pictures, tortured people and experiments of all kinds, can not really believe that there are people like that, the deep web may be a useful place to find things, but when you exceed the limit will find more of what you want.
