The Deep Web Timeline

After a 16-month trial, unprecedented in the history of the world justice system, Ross William Ulbricht was found guilty of seven charges, including and drug trafficking. It all started on the Deep Web.DeepWeb

Ross William Ulbricht, also known as “Dread Pirate Roberts,” is the founder of the online narco- Silk Road, famous for drug dealing and anything related to crime in general. He faces a possible life sentence for deals made in a space we all share and usually take for granted: cyberspace.

Most people heard about it Deep Web, when Ulbricht was arrested and details were made public on how big a site was Silk Road. It is now known that the Deep Web is a source of content that is not visible to those who do not know.

Our daily online habits take place on the surface of the web, and include browsing whose content is indexed by crawlers that search and collect data. On the surface web search results show social networking pages, games and more.

It is believed that the of the surface is calculated that is only 0,03% of the total content of the Internet detected by search engines.

Trend Micro researchers have identified the term "Deep Web" as "a category of content on the Internet that, for various technical reasons, is not indexed by search engines."

To put it literally, the content hosted on Deep Web is hidden, difficult to locate and anonymous. Recently, the Blackhat featured some of the features of DeepWeb, such as Onion Router (TOR), used by hackers (and not just) to hide their location.

Note, however, that many people mistakenly equate the Deep Web to refer only to the Onion Router (TOR) network. This is extremely inaccurate as TOR is just one of only three darknets to offer anonymity. The other two are I2P and Freenet.

DeepWeb is also full of websites and content hosted on alternative top-level domains or "rogue TLDs" that are not visible to most of us.
