The Ultimate Guide to the Deep Dark Invisible Web – Dark. Net Unleashed – Doctor Chaos. The Web as an Iceberg. The Deep Web, Dark. How to Make K9 Web Protection Invisible. The trick featured in this article allows you to run K9 Web Protection, a well-known filtering software, in stealth mode. Painfully shy and quiet, the Shrinking Violet is the withdrawn character, usually but not always female, who walks through the school hallways with her head. Ghostzilla was an invisible browser made for surfing at work. It used a sort of an optical illusion to make it appear as if you are not surfing the Web. An in-depth compilation on smartphone and tablet usage and adoption to inform your mobile marketing strategy in 2017. Net, The Hidden Net, The Invisible Net: It has many different names. Many experts believe that approximately 3. Internet is indexed by searched engines such as Google. If this is true then we can infer that 7. Google or other search engines. This remaining content is commonly referred to as the Dark Web, Deep Web, or Invisible Web. This is the equivalent of an information iceberg, whereas a small percentage is visible and exists within the viewable or searchable Internet ecosphere. The Dark Web is what lurks out of sight or even beyond the reach of common Internet users. Like an iceberg, the majority of the Internet’s information mass hiding. The Many Levels of the Deep Web. An iceberg is made of…well, ice. All the way down. Depending on the size of it, the iceberg can reach impressive depths. However, it is simply ice. Within the Deep Web there are layers of abstraction that are differentiated by content, secrecy and difficulty in connecting to them. I am aware of the following ones, so let’s explore them a little. Level 1. This is the common Internet or Web. We all know and understand it, and use it pretty much daily. We do searches on it, look at news and other items, and it is generally comprised of the ‘Open to the Public’ part of the Web. Level 2. This level is known as the Surface Web, It includes services such as Reddit, Digg, and temporary email services. It is essentially a communications platform, where you find chat boards and other social enabling content. It is not difficult to reach or obscured in any fashion. Level 3. This level is known as the Bergie Web. This actually includes other services besides WWW or Web services. It includes Internet newsgroups. FTP sites, honeypots (for trapping the unwary), Google locked results, and other sites such as 4. Chan. Again, this level is relatively simple to reach if you know where you are going. Level 4. This level is known as the Charter Web or Deep Web. These Websites consist of hacker groups, banned media, activist communications, and other darker layers of the online society. This is basically what we refer to as Deep Web. Sites on this layer are simply not found using typical Web search engines. In order to be able to access these sites you have to be invited by an existing member. Level 5. This level is known as the Dark. Web, and yes, this is where things get a little creepy. These websites are not accessible thru the normal Internet. You will need to get on the TOR network, or some other private networks to access this level. On the TOR network, Dark. Web sites are also referred to as TOR Hidden Services, or . There is a variety of legal and illegal content on these sites. They include illegal materials such as drugs, human trafficking, bounty hunters, rare animal trade, hacker exploits, and other black market items and topics. When we refer to Dark. Web, we normally are referring to the TOR network. What is TOR? TOR is short for The Onion Router. This refers both to the software that you install on your computer to run TOR, and the network of computers that manages TOR connections. To put it quite simply, TOR enables you to route web traffic through several other computers in the TOR network so the party on the other end of the connection can’t trace the traffic back to you. Since you are using other computers to route your connections and sessions, more TOR users means more protection for your information. As the name implies, it creates a number of layers that conceal your identity from the rest of the world. Basic TOR Operation. Computers handling intermediary traffic are known as TOR relays, and there are three different kinds of them: middle relays, end relays and bridges. End relays, as the name implies, are the final hop in a chain of connections. Middle relays move traffic between the source and destination. Bridges are simply TOR relays that aren’t listed publicly, perhaps to shield them from IP blockers and other means of cutting the connection. Anybody can sign up to be a middle router from the comfort of their home without fear of being implicated in illicit activity within the connection they are providing. Those who host end relays bear more of the legal burden, and they are the targets of police, copyright lawyers, and other watchdogs if illicit activity is detected. It should be made clear that you don’t have to run a relay to use TOR, but it’s a nice thing to do. I know we are talking about the Dark Web, but in context of using TOR for good versus evil purposes, it is polite to share your resources since others are sharing theirs for you. Please understand that the average TOR user, however, is probably legitimate. The software is used by everyone from journalists to political dissidents. For safety, they have protect their privacy and security because it is difficult to track someone who is using TOR. It is even used by a branch of the Navy for intelligence operations. In fact, it was originally built as part of a Navy project whose purpose was developing ways to protect U. S. government communications. Naturally, someone thought that if it works for the Navy, the rest of the world would benefit. However, be aware the NSA is now paying very close attention the TOR operations within the Internet. TOR Hidden Services. TOR makes it possible for users to hide their locations while offering various kinds of services, such as web publishing or providing an instant messaging service. Using TOR ‘rendezvous points’, other TOR users can connect to these hidden services, each without knowing the other’s network identity. I describe how this works below, but for a more direct how- to guide see our configuring hidden services page. A hidden service needs to advertise its existence in the TOR network before clients will be able to contact it. Therefore, the service randomly picks some relays, builds circuits to them, and asks them to act as ‘introduction points’ by providing a public key. Note that in the following figures the green links are circuits rather than standard packet- switched connections. Packet- switched networks move data in separate, small blocks (packets) and are based on the destination address in each packet. When received at that far end, the packets are reassembled in the proper sequence to make up the message. This is how the basic Web works. Circuit- switched networks require dedicated point- to- point connections during the session and move data in a more direct manner. By using a full TOR circuit, it’s hard for anyone to associate an introduction point with the hidden server’s IP address. While the introduction points and others are told the hidden service’s identity (which is communicated via public key/private key encryption), we don’t want them to learn about the hidden server’s location (which is the IP address). Using good old, generic Bob as our TOR user, we start with step 1. He looks at a few introduction points (see below). Introduction Points. The next step is the hidden service assembling a hidden service descriptor, containing its public key and a summary of each introduction point, and signs this descriptor with that private key. It uploads that descriptor to a distributed hash table in the database (DB). The descriptor will be found by clients requesting XYZ. XYZ is a 1. 6 character name derived from the service’s public key. After this step, the hidden service is established. Establishing the Hidden Service. Although it might seem impractical to use an automatically generated service name, it actually serves an important purpose. Everyone…to include introduction points, the distributed hash table directory (database), and of course the clients…can verify they are talking to the correct hidden service. Side note – see Zooko’s conjecture that out of Decentralized, Secure, and Human- Meaningful, you can achieve at most two. Perhaps one day somebody will implement a Petname design for hidden service names? Setting the Rendezvous Point. The third step is setting up the rendezvous point. A client that wants to contact a hidden service needs to learn about its . After that, the client can initiate establishing the connection by downloading the descriptor from the distributed hash table in the database. If there is a descriptor for XYZ. During this time the client also creates a circuit to another randomly picked relay and asks it to act as the rendezvous point by telling it a one- time secret. Tequila Works. Title: The Invisible Hours. Genre: VR Non- linear Story. Developer: Tequila Works. Publisher: Game. Trust. PEGI & ESRB: TBCTequila Works has created a story that can only be told in a VR game. The Invisible Hours is a complex murder mystery in VR, in which players freely explore an intricate web of interwoven stories within a sprawling mansion – in order to untangle the dark truth at its heart. It is one of the deepest narrative experiences in VR to date. All seven suspects in the mansion continue their stories in real time throughout the game, even if the player is not there to see them. This means there are seven very different but intersecting stories all happening at the same time. Players will need to make careful decisions about where to be, and when, in order to unravel the mystery. The player is invisible to the cast of characters, giving them freedom to follow and observe anyone in the story – or to explore the mansion for hidden clues at their own pace. The game is a gripping mystery, and to find all its deepest secrets will require careful observation and exploration. SCREENSHOTSVIDEO GALLERY: TRAILERSLINKStheinvisiblehours. Hours. Invisiblewww.
