I always thought that Dark Web was sites that weren't indexed by Google, etc al., but reachable via a standard browser & Dark Net was sites reachable only via Tor. Do I have it wrong?
- nols 11y agoI believe it's Deep Web for unindexed sites and Dark Web/Net for Tor
- nommm-nommm 11y ago"Deep web" refers to sites that aren't indexed by search engines. A synonym is "invisible web" "Darknet" refers to "overlay networks that can only be accessed with specific software, configurations, or authorization, often using non-standard communications protocols and ports." Tor is an example of a darknet. There are many others (someone else mentioned SIPRnet as one). "Dark Web" refers to websites on a darknet. Dark web, by definition, is part of the deep web. Tor hidden services are part of the dark web. Rolling Stone is wrong when it says "The Darknet (sometimes called the Dark Web)" that's analogous to saying "The Internet (sometimes called the World Wide Web)."
