What is Deep Web? Well if you have heard about surface web then you should know that the surface web is just a minor percentage of the whole web. It's the hidden web that is not accessed by the normal users with normal browsers like Google Chrome, Opera, IE. A special browser called TOR browser is used to browse the content of the deep web.
Here are some of the creepy and true events that have occurred while browsing the Deep web.
1. Hello, Mr [Last Name]
Reddit user Bigwiseguy55 reports, "I posted a comment on a video, and when I went back to that page to watch the video later, someone replied to my comment saying: ‘That is very astute of you Mr. (insert my last name).’
"I didn't the internet for like a week. My last name is not a common one.”
2. We See You
“This was back before Google. Web pages were, for the most part, still very basic HTML with Javascript. Hardly anyone used CSS. Only discussion boards and some banking sites had anything approaching mature front-end/back-end combinations. Etc. Early 'Net. Real 'deep web' story, not just one about illicit activities online.
"I was browsing random blogs, Geocities sites, and the like, just going from link to link. Eventually, I came upon an odd page - it appeared to be random thoughts from different people, but for the time, it was very well-designed. The messages seemed to be cryptic in nature, like several people trying to pass secret notes. I started through the source, and hidden in the comments of a javascript were various IP addresses.
"I gathered all of the IPs in a text file and began enumerating. Some were routers with banner messages I could telnet to - almost all at universities ('Warning! This is a secure system at University of Bla Bla....'). The default Cisco credentials from back in the day worked on most of them, but I didn't poke around. A few of the IP's were web servers with little to nothing on them, mostly Apache on Linux or some BSD, at least one IIS server I can recall.
"I finally came upon a web server with a huge directory of HTML files and TIFF images, with a few smaller subdirectories containing the same. nslookup returned no reverse records for the IP. A VisualRoute traced it as far as Colorado. The HTML files appeared to record a psychologist or similar mental health professional would keep. The images were of faxes, apparently of both military and medical nature.
"As I browsed from a subdirectory back to the parent, at the top was a new HTML file named something like '1-.HELLO-THERE.html.' The time stamp was from right that minute. I opened it, and in plain text was the message 'we see you.' No quotes, all lowercase. About 15 seconds later the server dropped.”
3. Five Guys
Reddit user cletch says, "Was on Tor, browsing the usuals. Go out to eat foods at the Five Guys. Come back. More Tor. Find a picture of me eating at Five Guys.”
4. One Hitman, Please
From Reddit user IAmASharkFin: “A website advertising a hitman, his services costing increasingly more bitcoins based on the type of target. I don't remember the exact amounts, but the order went something like this, from least to greatest: civilians, police, politicians, children. Shudder."
5. A Mysterious Job Opportunity
These are all the events that has been occuring in today's world. All the post have been posted by the reddit users and they say they have faced such situation while or after browsing Deep web. Actually all these scary and illegal things are because of anonymous freedom. The dark part of Deep web called as "Dark Web".
