Shadow Web: Deadly Last Stage of The Internet | 3rd Part Is Essential to Know all Internet Users
We have heard the name surface web, deep web, or dark web. But, what is the Shadow Web?
We use the internet most of the day. And when it comes to using the internet, we spend most of our time on Facebook or YouTube. Besides, we do all other social media, websites, and online shopping. And we use Google Chrome, Bing, or Microsoft Edge browser to search for various things on the internet. By using these browsers we can access the smallest things on the internet. Where there is much more in the depths of the internet. What we can call the Shadow Web.
What is the Shadow Web?
You will often see that many people use an ice block in the ocean as an example to explain the dark web or deep web. By that picture is meant, how much of the internet we are using and how much is hidden from us.
Our visible part of the Internet is the Surface Web. The things we search for on the Internet and find very easily are basically part of the Surface web. This includes websites that are indexed in various search engines. These are Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc. Next comes the Deep Web and the Dark Web. The dark web is mainly a subset of the deep web.
And Shadow Web is the next step of the dark web.
There are many reports about what the shadow-web actually is. Some claim that it is a password-protected web. And it can only be accessed by the dark web and requires the Tor browser to enter it. However, you can guess that the shadow-web is much more suspicious than the surface web or the deep web.
Shadow Web
So, what can you find on this Shadow Web? Well, this web is not good. Those who have accessed the Shadow Web say that they can find a lot of disturbing content here. Now you understand that with each level on the internet, they become darker. That is, first there is the surface web, then the deep web and dark web, and finally we can say shadow-web.
Although these things may seem very scary to us, the existence of the dark web has not been proven. A very small portion of internet users today are only familiar with the dark web. Many people are so curious about this small part. And that means they could access a much smaller segment of the Shadow Web existed. Many say that the Shadow Web is nothing but a rumor and the dark web is the deepest web.
Others claim that the Shadow-Web is a scam site within the Dark Web. Which is used to exchange cryptocurrency or conduct illegal activities online. There is even an alleged Shadow Web portal, to which the user must first pay a $200 fee to access.
So it can be said, what is shadow-web, and is it really real; There is no definite idea about it.
What is Mariana Web?
Some say that the dark web is just the beginning of how deep the internet can go and spans several layers. Others say that the deepest point on the Internet is called the “Mariana’s Web” (which refers to the Mariana Trench, the deepest point on Earth). Also, others claim that Shadow Web and Mariana Web are the same things.
