The Internet is massive. Millions of web pages, databases and servers all run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But the so-called "visible" Internet—sites that can be found using search engines like Google and Yahoo—is just the tip of the iceberg. Below the surface is the Deep Web, which accounts for approximately 90 percent of all websites. This maze of sites contains a treasure trove of information that can be used to exploit your security weaknesses. Leaked passwords, photos, files and more litter the wild west of the internet.
