Dark Net..!!

-Sanidhya Nanavati

What is the easiest way to search anything and everything on earth? GOOGLE! Think again! Shocked? We do have an answer for this though! “Google it”! Nowadays, this phrase (or two words) is often used instead of what we something call search. Google knows everything! But you really need to check your wits again because what Google answers is just a lagoon bifurcated from the deep dark ocean of Web, the WWW! Yeah, we call it ocean, cuz there are lots of information hidden there surreptitiously. Any search engine couldn’t return the result with more than 1% accuracy.

You might be thinking we are just fooling around with our nutty wacky brains! But to prove you, approximately web contained 7,500 terabytes of data and 550 billion individual documents. Ohh.!! That’s was in year 2000, Y2K! But a much concrete proof by one of the world’s best university, UC, Berkley contemplate from a study by extrapolating things and found out that the web is about 91,000 Terra Bytes and the surface web can amass just 167 TB of data! ( OMFG…a 4GB DVD can stockpile complete 1 season of FRIENDS with some space still left to store lewd wallpaper! And the eff…they are talking TBzzz!).

Talking about what is concealed in that deep dark web, with ballpark figure we can assume things like Dynamic pages, Unlink content(blacklinks), Scripted Contents, private web and many other treasures are still undiscovered . So the question come to a pass, are there no expectations to crawl this dark net? We won’t be bamboozling you but still there are many new algorithms which are being devised and are in their betas to conquer untamed net. The spaceships for exploring this obscure net are called “Crawlers” with codes searching the hyperlinks as their captains!

Great search engines like Bing and Google, having scintillating stats of increase in economy by 9000% every year, doesn’t chart things which are stored in profundity. The mania of concern is that, customary humans are not able to peek in this stunning celestial world of knowledge, facts and comprehensions. ‘Seeds’ of information are spread ubiquitously but the need is to identify them! Search engines are doing quite good trade, still fighting to conquer this colossal erudite creature, THE DEEP DARK NET!

Author’s reflection: Lagoon and Ocean comparisons are too small looking at the universe of hidden TBs. Anyone who can devise a code to crawl the dark net will surely earn greens but for the new age he would be like the first man on moon.
