The deep web is every set of data that is not indexed or controlled in the public surface web and is not publicly accessible. The dark web is an alternative routing infrastructure that hosts web platforms and requires special software for use. Before the explanation and discussion regarding these platforms, it is important to understand when and why the internet, as we know it today, was established. The surface web internet originated from a U.S. Department of Defense project known by the name of ARPANET- Advanced Research Project Agency Network. In 1983 the ARPANET project switched from being a closed network, named Network Control Protocol (NCP) to an open one, the Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) (Hurlburt, 2015).
