Hello everybody and welcome to the second video in the first section.
And in this video we're going to be looking at the common misconceptions and myths regarding the deep
web or the dark net or dark web.
So let's get started.
So basically one of the most common myths that you will find is that the Deep Web is illegal to access
and that you may get arrested or the FBI may come and knock at your door.
Now well that is a very very unique type of claim especially since accessing the Deep Web is legal and
the software used to access the deep web or the dark net which is the Tor browser is actually free and
it's legal to use.
The only thing is that the police are trying to crack down or the FBI or any law enforcement agency
are tracking down people who are doing malicious things on the Deep Web.
They're not targeting everyone accessing the Deep Web.
So really that's that's a very easy myth to bust.
And you know you might find that in some countries that have certain level of censorship on the Internet
for example North Korea those type of countries will not have access to even the clear net or the the
the normal Internet.
And that's really much more focused on countries that do not allow internet at all.
Now the second myth is that it is dangerous to access in the sense that it's more it's more risky and
that there's a higher chance that your system will be infected.
And that's not true at all because statistics prove that the killer has more threats in terms of dozens
of threatening your computer or your identity in the sense that there's so much malware on the web in
forms of downloads torrents.
And you know that works really.
So the third one is that you will be targeted or hacked and that the risk of you being hacked is very
high.
Now the deep whereby they said it every every part of the Internet has its advantages and disadvantages.
Now the Deep Web is only dangerous on certain malicious websites certain sites that you may visit if
you have the wrong intent.
And there's As I've mentioned before all about the sites that you visit if you visit a dangerous site
then the risk of you being hacked gets higher.
So it really is up to you and whether or not you want to get hacked.
Now the fourth one which is also quite a very important one is it's only for criminals not the Deep
Web is used by more than 2 million people every day and more.
And almost all of these people use it for communication and anonymity.
For example it's used by journalists who want to basically Post stories or post to whatever information
that they have anonymously.
So really the deeper is is used for good.
It's not like it's not now I think this is one of the most interesting ones.
It's the fifth one and that the fact that red rooms are real or red rooms exist no if you guys don't
read rooms or read rooms or basically Web sites that will provide a live stream to a murder of a human
being.
Now that may seem very vile but there's no evidence to say that these these bedrooms exist.
And I'm going to explain why they can't exist technically speaking so that the basic thing is that if
you're going to live stream on that or really there's no way you're going to be able to do that because
that really has very slow internet connection speed which you will see in the in the future videos.
But basically the speed is so slow because the traffic is routed through the Tor relays so you really
can't lifestream even at the lowest quality of video.
It will be unplayable or unwatchable.
So for that reason red rooms aren't real and there isn't evidence to support.
So the last one is that most of the sites are basically scary or malicious in nature and that is absolutely
not true because if you look at the deep web through statistical analysis you'll see that about 60 percent
of the Web sites on the deep web through an audit have are more information driven websites for example
20 percent of the sites are blogs and forums 40 percent of the sites have basically information and
are carrying information on them.
The other sites that we see the malicious sites that for example are selling drugs and or counterfeiting
money and legal documents.
Those are very few I think about 3 percent of the time you'll find them and most of them aren't really
really malicious and are just fix created by people to rob you of your money.
So that's basically it for this video guys.
If you have any questions or you have any anything you want to ask me just just let me know in the Q&A
section of the course.
Thank you so much for watching.
