what's this?

There's no "hidden underbelly" of the internet full of terrible things most people can't normally see. It's mainly just stuff not indexed by search engines, the vast majority of it is incredibly boring and of little value to most people.

That number is clearly wrong.
Same for the "200,000 Deep Web sites" figure, as if that's supposed to be big. A Google search for "giant lizards" yields over three million results.

huh...sounds like megaman and the undernet, damn that was a scary place...

The internet has been around a bit longer than the http protocol and the www prefix. Most of the stuff referred to in the post are just servers that have been blacklisted by the major search engines. So in order to find them you need to know the URL to it. And I think what they are referring to as the size of the "surface web" is just the total of the actual mypage.html files the webpages are saved as on the web servers and not the databases full of audio, videos and documents linked to by the pages.
|
Since there's apparently only 19 TB of information on the "surface" Internet, you could buy enough disk space to download/save the whole Internet for around $500.
The whole Internet, guys.

wrong about nineteen terabytes of surface web info. in ~2000 there were 167 terabytes vs. 91,000 terabytes in deep web, majority being computer garbage. wikipedia

I have been down to the deep web a couple times out of curiosity. There isn't much down there besides child pornography and snuff films, along with drug trade. The hidden wiki pretty much has all the links to everything.
Note: If you don't want to get caught by the FBI, use a proxy ( more like 7) and combine it with Tor.
|
I know how to get on the deep web and it's pretty disturbing down there. Also it's hard to find anything at all there unless you already know about it because its a pretty random 16 digit alphanumerical code followed by .onion so you can't stumble upon it without knowing about it already

well anonymous sites [16digit].onion, accessed via tor and with proper safety precautions allows people to do a number of things. it's useful for political dissidents and other people wishing to maintain anonymity. the interesting and disturbing thing is that some things like child porn, and assassination and drug markets can also be found if you know where to look. it's a very risky area to explore without proper knowledge. people can also exploit you and your machine easier if you make the wrong choices. there's also a wealth of other information, such as stuff similar to wikileaks material that hasnt been exposed, etc. i'm sure it's more interesting but yeah, the majority of the raw information is useless garbage

Welcome to 1996. 
I also thought most of the the deep net were parts of usenet that haven't been banned from the internet yet.

also OP just copied word for word the thread from that body building forum.
Hidden Wiki: + Show Spoiler +Don't go on anything other than this unless you know what you're doing. You have to use Tor to use this adress, and you should unplug webcam/tape over the webcam and disable javascript if going on. You have been warned. + Show Spoiler +

What exactly is TOR? Does it have something to so specifically with the "deep Internet"? It just seems like some sort of anonymity method. While it's apparently necessary for this sort of deep Internet browsing, it's not necessarily the main component of it, or anything, right? People can still use it for whatever "shallow Internet" sites they choose...right?

This stuff has been the troll of 4chan for the past 3 months.
TL sure is slow.

Tor has a protocol that allows .onions to be accessed, and .onions are the only type of site in the deep internet

I clearly say I got it from a forum that I frequent. And no, not from bodybuilding forums.
Honestly who cares? The fact that stuff like this exists and that many people are unaware of it is more important...

Someone probably read it on reddit, which is also slow, and posted it here.
ugh

Buying drugs on the internet seems to me like you're asking to get busted.

this is really interesting i want to see some of those deepweb sites that are borderline illegal out of curiosity xD
|
I think TL is similar to a Balrog or some other fell creature who dwells in forgotten deeps.
I mean look at the Nada's body thread.
