Deep Web - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deep web: Drugs, guns, assassins, jet planes all for sale on vast anonymous network
Experts say it is 100 or 200 times larger than the internet most users access
AT first glance it looks a lot like eBay. But this is no ordinary website.
For sale is a staggering array of illegal goods being traded openly online – everything from child pornography or Class-A drugs, to guns and British passports.
All this is a few clicks away on the deep web, a vast anonymous network hidden from normal web users.
