Talk:Dark internet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Name change?

I think this article should be moved to "Dark internet", as per the external links.

The point is:

Web = collection of interconnected documents

Internet = collection of interconnected computers

Just to avoid the flames of the pedants, its worth mentioning that an internet, strictly, is a collection of interconnected networks, which are themselves collections of interconnected computers.

For these purposes it amounts to the same thing - this article seems to be about the machines, not the documents. The deep web article seems to about the documents. That is the distinction, and I think that we should be careful to preserve it. --Nigelj 17:58, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Done --Nigelj 14:43, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
After this name change, "Research Projects: Darkweb is also a name of a project that exists at a University in Tucson." should be if not moved, then at least copied to Dark internet. --Oop 11:02, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Interesting...

Never really thought about this before... I recently bought a used Prolog textbook which had an IP address written in ones of its pages by the previous owner. I attempted a traceroute on that IP address, only it never reached that IP -- traceroute's packet(s) eventually kept bouncing back-and-forth between two intermediate servers presumably "near" that IP address indefinitely, but never actually making it to that IP address. I'll have to find the page again. I just found it strange it would do that -- could that be an example of a "dark internet" address? I've never seen that happen before in a traceroute, and I don't think it was simply a case of that IP address being "down" at the time -- if the computer on that IP wasn't "up" at all I would have gotten a destination unreachable error. Then again I could be wrong... --I am not good at running 07:02, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More detail

This page seems to go on about what the dark internet isn't, but never seems to get around to what it is. It would be nice if someone could add more detail. PerlKnitter 20:01, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

What we have on what is is the definition in the first sentence and the content of the 'Causes' section. --Nigelj 22:53, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] uppercase Internet?

Shouldn't the letter I be uppercase since internet refers to the Internet? --Voidvector 02:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

No, internet is used as a common noun, see previous first discussion and WP:MOS.--Thinboy00 talk/contribs @129, i.e. 02:05, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Research Project Section

The project mentioned in the University of Arizona link seems to have nothing to do with "unreachable hosts".
