Download or read book Weaving the Dark Web written by Robert W. Gehl and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the Dark Web—websites accessible only with special routing software—that examines the history of three anonymizing networks, Freenet, Tor, and I2P. The term “Dark Web” conjures up drug markets, unregulated gun sales, stolen credit cards. But, as Robert Gehl points out in Weaving the Dark Web, for each of these illegitimate uses, there are other, legitimate ones: the New York Times's anonymous whistleblowing system, for example, and the use of encryption by political dissidents. Defining the Dark Web straightforwardly as websites that can be accessed only with special routing software, and noting the frequent use of “legitimate” and its variations by users, journalists, and law enforcement to describe Dark Web practices (judging them “legit” or “sh!t”), Gehl uses the concept of legitimacy as a window into the Dark Web. He does so by examining the history of three Dark Web systems: Freenet, Tor, and I2P. Gehl presents three distinct meanings of legitimate: legitimate force, or the state's claim to a monopoly on violence; organizational propriety; and authenticity. He explores how Freenet, Tor, and I2P grappled with these different meanings, and then discusses each form of legitimacy in detail by examining Dark Web markets, search engines, and social networking sites. Finally, taking a broader view of the Dark Web, Gehl argues for the value of anonymous political speech in a time of ubiquitous surveillance. If we shut down the Dark Web, he argues, we lose a valuable channel for dissent.

Book excerpt: What is more dangerous? The lies she tells or the truth she's hiding? Jane Knudsen is an exceptionally private and intimidatingly beautiful workaholic attorney. Unflappable and cool, she's the last person likely to suddenly snap and murder one of her firm's senior partners. Yet she's become the most likely suspect in the crime. She's retained Allison Barton, her former law school roommate, to represent her. It's Allison's job to believe Jane, even if Allison never really knew her. No one did. Jane always made sure of that. For Allison, getting close to her client now grows more complicated with each new development in the case. There may be other suspects in the victim's orbit--his harried assistant, his wrathful wife, his overly attached daughter--but everything points to Jane's guilt. She had opportunity, access, the weapon, and a motive--and she's hiding something else. And Jane would rather go to prison for life than reveal the secrets that could save her. But what secrets are worse than murder? And what will Allison risk to discover them?

Download or read book The Darkest Web written by Sayam Pradhan and published by POTHI. This book was released on 2020-11-22 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twenty-years of the twenty-first century, there are almost a fifth of millions book published, It is founded by author that a very few books are on the topic of Dark net which clearly shows that there are few people who know about the ‘DARK WEB’. Everyone should know about what’s going on the world. Author chose this medium to deliver the information to people, because whatever we see in our smartphone or smart device screen, we just forget them easily, few things we forget which were read by us. Books are the way to seek knowledge and keep them with… forever easily. In case someone forgets, it can be revised by reading the book again. But internet is a huge place where we can’t find our previous records. Smart phones are great but become hell for health when we get addictive to it and use it beyond the limit, but the addiction to the book will make you think and reading books beyond the limit can make your knowledge infinity. The People’s money are just getting wasted on the books that are not adding value to their life and written for business purpose. Let it go. This book is written to make you understand every little thing about the dark web. You are going to miss huge information and may also going to face internet scams and account hacks. No, this book is not a cyber security or any internet privacy strategy building book. This is just the source of information of what you need to know. Acknowledgements I am really feeling grateful to express that I managed to complete The Darkest Web book project within few months. This book is based on several researches, books and some of the research papers, I am grateful to my family and friends for supporting and encouraging me to start the work of writing this book, stick with me, and finally publish it. This book’s chapters are inspired from several Research papers, Videos, Forums, Wikipedia and Books on the same topic. Chapter 1 - “Introduction to Web” is based on the information from Wikipedia Article on Dark web, Surface web, and Deep web; and also information are taken from a journal research paper titled “Dark Web 101” written by MAJOR JEREMY COLE, USAF published in 2016. Sayam Pradhan Angul, Odisha, India October 2020 WHY AND HOW WAS THIS BOOK WRITTEN? By observing the things around, the author of this book decided to write this and spread the information to the people because the internet is getting regulated and people are using the internet without much knowledge. I know that many people wouldn’t go to buy this. I don’t want anyone to buy this book; it would be very nice if the reader will spread the information among the people. There are no profits the author gets from this book but the money you have paid are the expense of the printing costs and to the printing company. The author believes in sharing the knowledge. The Readers must be grateful for the book and by being grateful regulate the knowledge among your friends and relatives to make them aware of how advance is the internet. There are powerful information about the internet times’ fraud and illegal activities. The Young is not aware of what are happening in the current world. That’s why, the author decided to become an informer of the current world. Author wants you to share the information more and more. The book was written with the help of sources and the information available in the surrounding. This book is gathered information of all sources and of what the author knows. Many people just roam around with saying “dark web is bad and a place of all bad works. Never access it” to the people. Those people say not to access the dark net, but they don’t say why not to access the information on the Darkweb. They don’t know that sharing the half information makes people curious about exploring the subject. Thus, here is the author with the list. It is very important for the people to understand as they living in a modern time. The modern time in which they can be looted easily and can be stuck in bad situation about which they even don’t know. I agree that ‘dark web is bad’, but it is very important for you to know why it is bad, which type of people uses Darkweb, and what kind of works take place in the Darkweb are going here. Obviously it is for knowledge. I can’t show you practically, but I can share my experience and the information that I have gathered from last few years. I hope that readers will spread the information (from the book) to the people around them.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times–bestselling author of Spider’s Bite comes a sequel that’s “just as hard-edged and compelling as the first” (Romantic Times). Curiosity is definitely going to get me dead one of these days. Probably real soon. I’m Gin Blanco. You might know me as the Spider, the most feared assassin in the South. I’m retired now, but trouble still has a way of finding me. Like the other day when two punks tried to rob my popular barbecue joint, the Pork Pit. Then there was the barrage of gunfire on the restaurant. Only, for once, those kill shots weren’t aimed at me. They were meant for Violet Fox. Ever since I agreed to help Violet and her grandfather protect their property from an evil coal-mining tycoon, I’m beginning to wonder if I’m really retired. So is Detective Donovan Caine. The only honest cop in Ashland is having a real hard time reconciling his attraction to me with his Boy Scout mentality. And I can barely keep my hands off his sexy body. What can I say? I’m a Stone elemental with a little Ice magic thrown in, but my heart isn’t made of solid rock. Luckily, Gin Blanco always gets her man . . . dead or alive. “A fantastic sequel in every respect . . . This second installment is even more steamy, suspenseful, and full of mystery and adventure. Packed with pulse-pounding action and suspense, this urban fantasy truly delivers.” —SciFiChick.com

She has shopped on darknet markets, contributed to forums, waited in red rooms and been threatened by hitmen on murder-for-hire sites. On occasions, her dark web activities have poured out into the real world and she has attended trials, met with criminals and the law enforcement who tracked them down, interviewed dark web identities and visited them in prison. This book will take you into the murkiest depths of the web's dark underbelly: a place of hitmen for hire, red rooms, hurtcore sites and markets that will sell anything a person is willing to pay for - including another person. The Darkest Web.

Download or read book The Dark Web Murders written by Brian O'Hare and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I AM NEMEIN. I AM EMOTIONALLY DETACHED FROM MY KILLINGS. I AM NOT, THEREFORE, A MURDERER. I AM AN INSTRUMENT OF NEMESIS, A PUNISHER. This is a theme running through a number of blogs on the Dark Web, written by a serial killer. He is highly intelligent and employs philosophical argument to justify a series of gruesome murders. However, he describes the killings in lurid detail, and with such gloating relish, that he utterly negates his delusion of detachment and reveals himself to be a cold-blooded, narcissistic psychopath. Sheehan and his team rush headlong down a series of blind alleys in the pursuit of the psychopath, who continues to murder his victims with impunity. He is fiendishly clever, utterly ruthless, and tests Sheehan's famed intuition to the limit. Indeed, Sheehan only learns the truth during a horrific climax when some members of his team experience a most harrowing 'laceration of the soul' that they will never be able to forget. It is unlikely that the reader will either. "The first thing I thought after reading this book is: Why isn't Brian O'Hare better known in the crime writing world? This man is extremely talented, and his book a wonderful 'whodunnit' that left me guessing until the end." [Joseph Sousa, Crime Writer] "Head and shoulders above most mystery authors who are published today, Brian O'Hare deserves a wider recognition. You won't regret purchasing his books." [C&B Todd, Amazon Reviewer]

Book excerpt: In the tradition of her acclaimed mother, Ann Rule, author of The Stranger Beside Me, bestselling author Leslie Rule exposes the trail of a sadistic sociopath, identity thief, and killer . . . It was a bleak November in 2012 when Cari Farver, thirty-seven, vanished from Omaha, Nebraska. Texts sent indicated that the hardworking mother had quit her job, abandoned her son, and cut ties with everyone. Cari’s boyfriend, Dave Kroupa, accepted the breakup at face value. Her mother, Nancy Raney, however, had doubts. “I need to hear your voice,” Nancy begged. When the texter refused to speak, Nancy reported Cari missing. While no one saw or spoke to Cari, more than 12,000 sinister emails and texts were sent in her name over the next years. Police believed Dave and his girlfriend, Shanna “Liz” Golyar, when they reported that the missing woman was cyberstalking them. The tormentor was eerily aware of Dave’s every move, knew when Liz visited and threatened the couple. It never occurred to Dave that Cari was a victim—that the real stalker had killed before, and was planning to kill again.
