00:21Alright, first things first, what exactly is the Deep Web?
00:24A lot of people confuse the Deep Web with the Dark Web, but they're not the same thing.
00:29The Deep Web refers to parts of the internet that are not indexed by traditional search
00:33engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo.
00:36This includes things like private databases, academic journals, and personal email accounts.
00:41Imagine searching for something on Google.
00:43It only shows you a fraction of what's available online.
00:47The Deep Web is everything beyond those search results like academic papers behind paywalls
00:52or private company data.
00:53Now, accessing the Deep Web isn't as mysterious as it sounds, here's how you can do it safely
00:59and legally.
01:00First, to access academic journals or private databases, you'll often need a subscription
01:05or institutional access.
01:07Universities and public libraries often provide access to these resources, so check with your
01:12local library if you're a student or a member.
01:14Another way to access certain parts of the Deep Web is through specialized search engines
01:19like DuckDucko or Microsoft Academic.
01:22These can help you find information that isn't typically available through standard search
01:26engines.
01:27Now, let's touch on the Dark Web briefly.
01:30This is a part of the Deep Web that requires specific software to access, like Tor, which
01:35is a special browser that helps anonymize your online presence.
01:39To access the Dark Web, you'd need to download the Tor browser.
01:42However, keep in mind that the Dark Web is often associated with illegal activities,
01:47so it's crucial to be very careful.
01:49If you decide to explore, stick to legal and ethical sites.
01:53Before we go any further, a big word of caution.
01:56The Deep Web and Dark Web are vast and can contain both safe and unsafe spaces.
02:01Always prioritize your safety and privacy.
02:04Avoid engaging in illegal activities and steer clear of websites that seem suspicious.
02:09Here are a few tips for staying safe while browsing the Deep Web.
02:13Use strong passwords.
02:14Always use unique and strong passwords for different sites.
02:18Keep your software updated.
02:19Make sure your browser and any security software are up to date.
02:24Don't be skeptical.
02:25If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
02:28Avoid sharing personal information.
02:30Never give out personal details unless you're sure of the site's legitimacy.
02:34And there you have it, a basic guide on how to access and navigate the Deep Web.
