Find Out What the Dark Web Is, How It Is Accessed, and the Risks It Poses. Discover the Distinctions Between the Surface, Deep, and Dark Webs.
Have you ever heard of the “dark web”? Maybe on a YouTube video or a Netflix documentary? It’s a mysterious corner of the internet that most people never explore—and for good reason.
The dark web is real. It’s used by privacy seekers, journalists… and, unfortunately, also by hackers and criminals.
In this post, we’ll break down what the dark web is, how people access it, and what happens there—and why you should be very careful if you’re ever curious.
Surface Web vs Deep Web vs Dark Web
The internet has layers—like an iceberg. What you see on Google is only the tip.
| Layer | What it is |
|---|---|
| Surface Web | The normal internet (Google, YouTube, Facebook) |
| Deep Web | Private content (emails, banking, databases) |
| Dark Web | Hidden network, only accessed via Tor browser |
The dark web is a part of the deep web, but it’s not just hidden—it’s intentionally hidden. It doesn’t show up in search engines, and you can’t access it with normal browsers like Chrome or Safari.
To get in, you need special tools like the Tor browser, which lets you visit websites ending in—these.onion are encrypted and anonymous.
