presentation because right now I am at
Willow Matola. So Mukhtar and Amin will
cover it.
But I did 80% of the presentation, Mukhtar
20%, Amin and Antwani 0%.

Introduction
The Internet is sizable with millions of web pages,
databases, and servers all run 24 hours a day. But the
so-called "visible" Internet (aka surface web or open
web) — sites that can be found using search engines
like Google and Yahoo — is just the tip of the iceberg.
There are several terms surrounding the non-visible
Web, but it's worth knowing how they differ if you're
planning to browse off the beaten path.

Surface
web
The top layer
Surface web or
open web
The open web, or surface web, is the “visible” surface
layer. If we continue to visualize the entire web like an
iceberg, the open web would be the top portion that’s above
the water. From a statistical standpoint, this collective of
websites and data makes up under 5% of the total internet.
All commonly public-facing websites accessed via
traditional browsers like Google Chrome, Internet Explorer,
and Firefox are contained here. Websites are usually labeled
with registry operators like “.com” and “.org” and can be
easily located with popular search engines.
Locating surface web websites is possible because search
engines can index the web via visible links (a process called
“crawling” due to the search engine traveling the web like a
spider).

Deep
web
The middle layer
Deep web
The deep web rests below the surface and accounts for approximately 90%
of all websites. This would be the part of an iceberg beneath the water,
much larger than the surface web. In fact, this hidden web is so large that it's
impossible to discover exactly how many pages or websites are active at
any one time.
Carrying on with the analogy, big search engines could be considered like
fishing boats that can only "catch" websites close to the surface. Everything
else, from academic journals to private databases and more illicit content, is
out of reach. This deep web also includes the portion that we know as the
dark web.
While many news outlets use "deep web" and "dark web" interchangeably,
much of the deep portion as a whole is perfectly legal and safe. Some of the
largest parts of the deep web include:
• Databases: both public and privately protected file collections that are
not connected to other areas of the web, only to be searched within the
database itself.
• Intranets: internal networks for enterprises, governments, and
educational facilities used to communicate and control aspects privately
within their organizations

Bottom layer
Dark web
The dark web refers to sites that are not indexed and only accessible via
specialized web browsers. Significantly smaller than the tiny surface web,
the dark web is considered a part of the deep web. Using our ocean and
iceberg visual, the dark web would be the bottom tip of the submerged
iceberg.
The dark web, however, is a very concealed portion of the deep web that
few will ever interact with or even see. In other words, the deep web
covers everything under the surface that's still accessible with the right
software, including the dark web.
Breaking down the construction of the dark web reveals a few key layers
that make it an anonymous haven:
• No webpage indexing by surface web search engines. Google and other
popular search tools cannot discover or display results for pages within
the dark web.
• “Virtual traffic tunnels” via a randomized network infrastructure.
• Inaccessible by traditional browsers due to its unique registry
operator. Also, it's further hidden by various network security measures
like firewalls and encryption.
