The document discusses the different layers of the internet, including the clearweb which is accessible via search engines, the dark web which search engines don't index, and the deep web which requires special software like Tor or I2P to access. It provides an overview of Tor and I2P anonymity networks, and how to configure them to access the deep web through URLs ending in .onion rather than standard top-level domains. The document also gives an example of a hidden wiki URL that can only be accessed through the Tor browser, not a regular browser.

○ Onion routing is a technique for anonymous communication over a computer network. In an
onion network, messages are encapsulated in layers of encryption, analogous to layers of the

■ The core principle of Tor, "onion routing", was developed in the mid-1990s by United States Naval
Research Laboratory employees, mathematician Paul Syverson and computer scientists Michael Reed
and David Goldschlag, with the purpose of protecting U.S. intelligence communications online. Onion
routing was further developed by DARPA in 1997

○ What is I2P ?
■ The Invisible Internet Project (I2P)
is an overlay network
and darknet that allows
applications to send

6. Clearweb
●So the part of the web which can be
accessed by a search engine is called
Clearweb.
What this means is that anything that we get as a result of
a search engine query is part of the clearweb.
7. Dark Web
●So apart from the web that is accessed by
search engines there is still a huge amount
of data that exists in pages not touched by
web spiders/crawlers. This part of the web is
known as dark web or darknet.
8. DeepWeb
● The dark web comprises of a huge part of the overall web. Inside this dark
web there exists another section which is called as deep web.
● This deep web is also not accessible to the search engines but it also
cannot be accessed directly by standard browsers we daily use.
● This portion of the web is hidden deep inside the web and requires special
applications and configurations to be accessed and hence is called deep
web.
9. How To Use Deep Web ?
● Through Darknet services like
○ Tor
○ I2p
● The Hidden Wiki
○ http://zqktlwi4fecvo6ri
.onion/wiki/index.php
/Main_Page
Notice that this URL does not
contain a .com, .net, .org, or
other familiar domain names,
but is .onion. Firstly try to open
this URL into a regular browser,
does it open up? Now open this
URL into our Tor browser.
