Buying hitmen and assassins? So many drugs? Hackers, lab supplies, credit cards? Any number of awful other things I don't want to post about for fear of immediately getting flagged by every government agency ever to exist, ever?
Seriously, I'm glad I only function in the normal part of the internet. But then again I was a lot happier thinking that 100% of the internet was above board and that 4chan was the worst of it. Knowing that 95% of the internet is in this shady realm is a bit worrisome.

The deep web was estimated at being around 92,000 TB in 2001 (and it's undoubtedly grown so many times over since then), whereas even last year Google had only indexed around 200 TB of the internet.
Maybe I was actually underestimating the percentage.

From: OmarsComin | #011 from the top few results on "deep web" from google it just sounds like mostly private databases like school libraries and stuff
I've never hired a dude to kill another dude in a library.

Yeah, deep web is not as eerie as it sounds. Hell, I've created "deep web" products. Any web service that uses url or post parameters to fill SQL queries could be classified as "deep web." The product I worked on was access to a subscription pharmaceutical database backend. Fascinating stuff, I know.

it's cuz you're not a part of the seedy underground! I wonder if whirlybird is aware of the deep web. sounds like the place he needs to look if he wants to go after commodore.
Oh man I can see the plot for the next Die Hard already.
"all our **** is blowing up. the deep web is hacking us. what is the deep web? it's a sophisticated and shady network of connections hackers terrorists etc. john mcclane we need you to kill everyone from the deep web."
Umm... I haven't heard anything about this at all. I mean, I can go a day without the internet, but if Anon legitimately shuts down the entire web for a day? I'm not sure it would do much good. I could see it polarizing the population to either side of the SOPA/PIPA/ACTA/PCfIPA debate. And I think that's a dangerous step to take, because most people are stupid and will lump Anon in with the people these bills oppose and will side with legislators.
But then again it probably won't happen.

Grand Kirby posted... From: Raka_Putra | #003 Yeah. I wonder why the governments don't do anything despite that everyone can access the deep web with a little work. They need to find the server hidden behind the spa at the inn.
Their plan seems alright in theory, but that's all it is. No one has actually done it before as far as I can tell, and probably for a good reason, like that the people who manage the DNS know way more about their system than 4chan nerds.

so wait are there really just 13 big computers that form the entire backbone of the internet? and if you got rid of them it would all be inaccessible? or am I understanding this wrong?
From: OmarsComin | #028 so wait are there really just 13 big computers that form the entire backbone of the internet? and if you got rid of them it would all be inaccessible? or am I understanding this wrong?
Each one is multiple computers with some being on multiple continents. And together they basically allow you to access other websites so if thats what you mean by backbone then yes.
From: SMOKEDOG42O | #023 if Anon legitimately shuts down the entire web for a day
Even their description of it says they're not doing that, they'd just be disabling URLs. If you put the IP address of a website in, it would still work.
