SYSK Selects: How the Deep Web Works

In this episode from 2014, Josh and Chuck explore the fascinating and complex world of the deep web and dark web, explaining how they differ and what actually lives in these hidden corners of the internet. They dive into how search engines only access a tiny fraction of the web, discuss legitimate uses like government grants and banking alongside murkier applications, and explain how anonymity tools like Tor were originally created by the U.S. Navy to help political dissidents but have become double-edged swords in the cat-and-mouse game between law enforcement and criminal activity. It's a deep dive into internet infrastructure that reveals just how much of the web we never see in our everyday Google searches.
