How Much Of The Internet Is Hidden? 

"I could drink the entire internet" - Quote of the day.

Nice way to sum up the internet "The internet isn't good or bad, just a tool that reflects what man kind can do."

Scary thought: An alien race doesn't need to visit earth to learn about us. They would just need to connect to our internet... ... all those twerking and cat vids... o_O"

If you think the Dark Web won't scare you because you've been reading creepypastas, watching horror movies or anything similar, you're gonna have a bad time

"The internet is not good or bad. The internet is a tool that can be used for good or bad. And it's not just one thing, it's all of the things humanity can be, reflected digitally." - Trace Dominguez Thank you Mr. Domiguez

the tor network is not a vpn its a proxy

wow google know less than 1% of the internet.wow so much porn hidden.

Thank you for choosing my topic proposal and talk about the internet! Very interesting things discussed.

Interesting that Israel and Italy (Rome perhaps?) are the biggest users of TOR. Coming in 3rd is Moldavia; a tiny Russian republic. Just interesting. The US has only a 25-50 percentile usage rate, which I find is even more interesting given that it was developed by the US Naval research. Very mind boggling . . .

Well, the media (traditional TV and Radio media) have a vested interest in painting the internet as a creepy place that you don't want to be. The internet would put TV and radio out of business completely if everyone knew how to use it. You can use services like Netflix and Hulu to watch whatever episode of a show that you want, whenever, instead of waiting for the network to air it. Sites like soundcloud and even RU-vid pose a threat to radio because you can get any song at anytime for free. And if you dont want to pay for some of these services, piracy is becoming easier for the laymen every year. AM radio talk shows are mostly dead already, but there are thousands of podcasts on the internet, so you can listen to any point of view anytime. If old people knew how to use the internet, FOX News would be gone within a year.

So.... How much of the internet is hidden?

IPv6 also uses Hexidecimal numbers, which are base 16 instead of base 10 like the kind we usually read and count by; it has 0-9, but then it goes A-F before it adds another diget. So, for example, ten in Hexidecimal is written "A", fifteen is "F", seventeen is "11", and one-hundred-seventy-two is "AC". That makes the number of possible addresses even *more* incomprehensibly huge.

Home star runner!!! Oh man you just transported me back to the glorious 90s.

You have made me realize its not that people are stupid because of the internet its that people have always been stupid.

Just to clarify something Trace said in the video. IPv6 isn't JUST an extra two groups of numbers. There are also more characters used in this iteration including letters, while IPv4 just had numbers. This means the number of possible IPv6 addresses just got a whooooole lot bigger.

I love how he made a Harry Potter reference at 3:20! The Dark Web is like Knockturn Alley lol

I've worked for many large IT companies... the internet is a vast strange place. I've worked for Yahoo, Earthlink, New Edge, Dotster (Domain Registrar), and others. Soooo much data out there, soo many strange websites. People don't realize how many websites are out there. Dotster, and it's sub companies, only controls about 3% of the registered domains globally. That number alone is staggering. GoDaddy holds the most, but they are kind of evil. Also that IPv6 thing is a pain in the ass no matter where you work, no one wants to implement it, even though the hardware has been supporting it for years. I think IPV6 accounts for as many IP addresses as there are molecules in your body, it's a huge Hex number. Also, you can pad out any IPv4 address into a 6, so it's easy to convert.

Fun fact (just to nitpick on what you noted, Trace): Eric Schmidt hasn't been the CEO of Google for quite some time now. In fact, for almost two CEO generations already. Google has since been run by co-founder Larry Page for years now, until he gave that up to move up as CEO of Alphabet, the umbrella company that "owns" Google, whose now-designated CEO is now Sundar Pichai. Eric Schmidt has been its exec. chairman since.

Will we run out of phone numbers? This also should be a mathematical formula.

Microsoft bought 666K addresses - 5:55.

Where do you get your t-shirts

It would be really cool if you did a video on the ways social media brings us farther apart or closer together!

Trogdor was a man.... or maybe he was a DRAGON MAN... uhh... maybe he was just a DRAGON... but he was still TROGDOR!

And, it is publicly known that using Tor isn't entirely secure (as shown by many articles now, and as you know by how people are caught), as you can be found by authorities if necessary, just that it is normally harder for the casual user to do so.

Nice casual Intel plug at the end there. I almost didn't notice it.

you could drink it, but couldn't smoke it.

Also things that have been issues before are the dynamic routing protocols used on the internet such as BGP. I saw one article said some older routers almost caused huge issues due to this. They reached something like 500,000 routes in their routing databases and ran out of memory. That number may not sound huge, but a lot of things especially if it's like internet backbone will have vague summery routes saying if you want like .1 go out here, .2 go out here and those could then have sub networks like .1.1, etc.

Hey trace! I have an idea for a topic. Comedy! why we laugh, types of comedy and why we enjoy it so much and something i've always wondered, why is slapstick comedy funny and why we laugh when we see others get hurt. If you see this please consider it! Also it'd help for my director studies on slapstick directors and why they create these films other than just earning money :D! thanks!

The Knockturn Alley of the web...love the Harry Potter reference!

I like to think of the internet as the Universal Conscienceness........

Homestar Runner!!! I bought several of their DVDs because I loved them so much as a kid

Nocturne Alley sounds like a pretty fun path to go down. ;D

3:49 Not even the GOVEMENT lol

never thought of facebook as the deep web lol

Are you referring to 200tb on just hyper links and the tittle of the actual description of the content behind the link?? Because 200tb in retained data seem a bitttttt to litttlleeee like to little.

can you please do 5 episodes on magic please!?!?!

Tor is not secure. Tor cannot and does not attempt to protect against monitoring of traffic at the boundaries of the Tor network (i.e., the traffic entering and exiting the network). While Tor does provide protection against traffic analysis, it cannot prevent traffic confirmation (also called end-to-end correlation)

Homestar Runner used to be awesome! I haven't been there since early highschool

This was the subject one of the more recent Jack Reacher novels. It is titled 'Make Me' and was pretty good.

I was singing "Tragdor" the other day and my 15 year old sister was so confused.

When somebody references Harry Potter while talking about the internet = YESSSSSSSS!

I.Pv4 has held on much longer than most thought in the 90s because so many places use port address translation on routers. I saw something that said there are enough I.Pv6 addresses to address like every grain of sand on earth surface. I calculated it out once and I did an I.Pv7 to KG mass of earth and it came out to like 4 addresses per HG of earth mass. According to some industry people there is already plans for space links to like mars, etc. Also I.Pv6 uses hex instead of doted decimal which to my understanding is also a significant expansion on the number of addresses.

Interesting video. Thanks for the upload.

Id love to see a video on the next (most likely) steps humanity will take (in order) to further our selves in the universe, such as will the earth come together under one government and when, or when we will achieve a well established planet migration. where we will end up, will we die out beforehand? All of these with ideas researched intensely with others point of views would be very interesting

+TestTube Plus It's not so easy that they just add two more sections to IPv4 to get IPv6 even it would make sense. They actually changed a lot around the infrastructure of IPv4 like using hex-numbers instead of decimal-numbers. For all who want to know more about that stuff: electronicdesign.com/embedded/whats-difference-between-ipv4-and-ipv6 And we only run out on the public IPv4 adresses. The private ones are still good for every size of company but since more and more companies pop up and all of them need at least one address to be reachable for the internet we run out on the public ones. In fact if we wouldn't seperated the iPv4 adresses into private and public we would ran out even faster since IPv4 has only 4,294,967,296 possible adresses which would mean that only 4,294,967,296 devices could access the internet. By the way IPv6 has 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 possible adresses. "It's crazy, right?" ;) (if anyone sees an error in this comment feel free to correct it) ;)

Plot twist: The entire internet is a series of tubes

I'm always so fascinated about the deep web, it's a very interesting topic. Also, I'm so happy you mentioned Homestarrunner!!! I loved that site XD

Really interesting, awesome channel man!

Who does your after effects editing? I love the plexus stuff and I want to see what else they do

Intel is your sponsor?! Wow!!! Great job!!

Actually it is possible for the government to know exactly what you're doing on Tor. Matter of fact, it's easy. Just to give you an idea: When you first launch Tor browser, it launches in a window with a rez smaller than your monitor. As soon as you fullscreen it, Tor will give you a popup that will tell you not to put it in fullscreen as trackers can in fact zone you out just because of your monitor resolution. The coding of the software makes it so it recognizes your monitor resolution thus matching it should you decide to apply the fullscreen function. This guy on reddit put in into good words: " Tor Browser tries to make everyone appear exactly the same, so websites can't track you based on your these properties." That's just ONE thing that anyone anywhere can use to track you. Tor is indeed an encrypted browser made to be anonymous, but it's not at all effective if you're conducting fishy business. If you're just snooping around trynna find websites (like me, I've been on silkroad a few times just to have a look around, see how things work cause I was curious but never dared to contact anyone nor purchase anything) then it's fine. Consider this, it's being a 12 yr old waltzing into a liquor store, looking at the bottles and reading the the stickers on said bottles but putting them back on the shelf and walking out empty handed. No crime in that, right? Well it depends. Silkroad is merely a drug trafficking website. People from all over the world put their products on the site (this is a matter of public record for those who don't know, you can literally google the URL and you'll find dozens of articles talking about it and even given you the link to access the website, check it out for yourself) and selling them all over the world. Some only ship in the U.S, some only ship in Canada (btw that's how I realized that the drug trafficking business was even bigger than I ever thought it was JUST in Canada, it blew my mind) some ship all over the place. They're just drugs. In the grand scheme of things, the drug business is a warm melting ice cream cone on a hot summer day in July. There are websites (I don't know which and never wish to know) that do the same thing but with human, organ, child trafficking and many more. There are websites that are basically hubs for people to gather round and auction for ladies and people will literally come and deliver the girl you paid for. There are websites that psychos launch, like Twitch.tv, where they stream themselves torturing and killing innocent people while viewers sit there and recommend things they want to see him do to that poor soul. The dark web is fucked up and that's why if you want to snoop around, a mere browser isn't enough. You need a VPN, a proper mac/Ip spoofer, a remote connection even, never conduct searches on the same computer twice, never conduct said searches in your own domicile and the list goes on and on. And even then, your identity can STILL be revealed. Keep in mind that the best of the best, the TOPGUN of hackers and cyber security analysts and operators work for the government, and the govy as more money and resources than you can possibly dream of. That's not true for all countries, but it is for many. When you pick a fight with the government, it's no longer a story of how well you're juking them but rather a long you can keep doing it. They will find you. They always do. The biggest hackers were all caught at one point or another. Digital footprints make more noise than a gunshot.

Being a network administrator this video gave me cancer -_- We ran out of IPV4 addresses before this video was made, Ipv6 isn't as complicated as he is making it sounds, yes it requires different hardware but otherwise it is easier to deal with all together.

really nice content, cheers from qatar

In new York now we have to dial the area code. It's quite inconvenient

Never ask the internet what their favorite website is!

7:40 I wonder if you could manipulate the Internet with you hands. Then it would be like Harry Potter!

Don't the measurements of bytes go up thousands? I thought 1000 bytes = 1 MB, 1000 megabytes = 1 GB, 1000 Gigabytes = 1 TB?

Nice! I was looking forward to this one.

Well were in this topic you should cover Googles dark part "The human filter".

Eric Schmidt is the chairman of Google (I liked their old design better by the way). Larry Page is the CEO.

Not exactly accurate about VPN's. Through deep packet inspection, your surfing history can be revealed, depending on how long the government tells the ISP's to hold your usage. If you use ToR, which was created by the U.S. government, you are automatically flagged and could be targeted for further inspection by various agencies. Some linux distros with ToR also make it easy to mask your mac address, but again, that can also be flagged. If you're trying to do illegal things on the web, you'll get caught eventually. VPN's are really great in general though, because it does encrypt your traffic. The ISP's in most states aren't allowed to access your deep packet inspection data, so if they chose to illegally give priority traffic to certain sites, they wouldn't know to slow down your connection. VPN's are also a must imho when using public wifi.

Microsoft bought 666k addresses? Interesting,

Terms like "deep" and "dark" are unnecessarily mysterious and intimidating. Marketing or propaganda for censorship could use them. If a resource is stored on a server that requires a login, that's all it is. If a different protocol was used to communicate information, such as e-mail in a database, chat traffic, or videos shared over p2p, then it is part of the Internet, but not the "web", and thus out of scope for Google, which only indexes a collection of HTML pages. People often tend to think as the whole internet being on the web, cos they only access it via a browser, and not other kinds of software servers/clients. But as long as Google hasn't published those e-mails on a public website, they are stored on disks/clouds somewhere, but do not exist at all on the web. The number of IP addresses does not practically limit the "size" of the internet in bytes or electrons. You can have one IP serve a very large amount of information (web or other protocols), subdividing the load via either NAT or reverse proxies or both to many servers behind that one IP. While IPv6 has an astronomical number of combinations, they seem wasted as currently used by many ISPs: the actual address is only half as long - 64 bits, which would be enough for everybody and not as difficult to remember. But it is also treated like the old IPs: _it is dynamic_ and changes from time to time. So that problem isn't solved. I'm happy with my static compact four octet address.

Please make an extensive series of videos about North Korea!

Very appropriate Harry Potter reference!! I aprove.

The government can set up a tor node and find out what you're viewing, as well as busting in people's homes and taking people's tor nodes. Just an FYI.

now this is neat because all the creepypastas i have heard here on youtube and even warning videos made me think that ppl could trace you when you are on the darkweb (i have thor and i have sort of surfed around a few times)

If the internet were Everclear you would be messed up after drinking it.

CEO of Google is Sundar Pichai, Eric Schmidt is the executive chairman of Alphabet Inc Google's new official parent company ( started by the founders of Google) Schmidt was however CEO of Google from 2001-2011

This was a really good video.

I would like this channel a lot more without the 30 second Prius ad...

3:45 Not true. Those servers used by TOR to communicated aren't all owned by nice people who want to help you. If you acces your bank account with TOR, be prepared to loose all your money. It is not a gov who'll spy on you, but a random hacker who own a node of the TOR network.

thank you! I have been enlighten

"It's crazy" - TestTube Plus guy.

Is that a Harry Potter reference I hear at 3:20? :)

Next: Can the internet actually lose net neutrality globally?

Is this the silkroad still avaible?

This is like Arrow, every episode he says his name and the same things.

So I don't get it... There can be no more web addresses?

Changging to IPV6 from IPV4 whoul NOT necessearly require to replace your devices, simply just update the firmware, but this WILL NOT happen, because the companies who produce those routers, switches, hubs, etc., WILL WANT YOU to spend more money on buying a new product. So theoretically you are wrong, but practically you are right.

Is Tor legal? I mean I don't want to use it but just curious.

Not sure who knows about it, but myfreecams is rad, Chase

If you don't know how big is the internet, then how do you know that you indexed 0.004%. And is vsauce mentioned that internet is bout one ounce.

Gmail is part of googles mass of servers not just one

so how do they know how big it is since they havent indexed it yet?

This is the S.S. Home Star Runner...... It's .com!!! lmao

VPN stuff is becoming more popular which is kinda cool but is probably still in the grey area but I'm very OK with that.

Hi test tube. Can you explain a bit more about the dark web? I've heard some weird things about it and I want to know if they are real.

Wait, rabbits live in holes? Wtf?

Why not index websites as soon as they are created.

i hate it that he reveals nothing dark ,i came to discover some dark truth , not numbers , pfffffffff wwhere am i suppose to find dark stuff ????!!!!!!!!!

My favorite website? Hmm. Not sure. Used to be grooveshark. Now its probably a book or anime site. I was once fond of mangafox. I'm not sure what I favor now.

You should really consider using animations in your videos

That was definitely interesting.

the internet is like the universe i guess

It's not one million bytes it's a power of 2

Can you tell me an example of deep and dark websites? just curious. thanx

666,000 addresses?

Deep and dark web are two different terms that cannot be used interchangeably

you could smoke the internet. two ounces of deep hitter purples anyone?
