Navigating it requires using *Tor* or *Tails*.

Apparently it is commonly used by those who seek to destroy us.: **There are fears that terrorists are communicating and plotting on the deep web, beyond the reach of security services. All that is needed to operate is special software allowing you to connect with what lies beneath, in this shadowy online world.**

Strange. I just started reading a 2-year-old book, Windows7 for Dummies 8 books-in-One and in the "Internet" section there is a discussion about this.

So it's not really a secret, although most of us have never heard of them.

Guns and planes are legal to buy and sell and don't require 'deep web' to market them. Go to the Paris Air Show sometime.

LOL at the article. Starts with a picture of a guy wearing a scary mask with a double barreled shotgun pointed at the camera. Real deep web stuff, those antique firearms! I can buy a twenty-round semi-automatic shotgun no more than a mile from my home—all perfectly legal.

Or maybe it was a deep web advertisement for the scary mask the guy was wearing. You can’t get scary masks just anywhere.

I’ll bet more than half the advertisers on the deep web are law enforcement.

“We have to look to a time when authentication of users is at the heart of the internet.”

And that is the real purpose of the article.

Yes, researchers do estimate that only about 10% of what is available through the internet is searchable by google, but that doesn't mean that 90% of the internet is criminal activity. Most of what is not indexable is either asked to not be indexable by search engines, or in databases connected to the web, but not searchable by search engines.

This criminal activity certainly goes on, but it is not 90% of the web traffic. Its more like .0001%
