Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The University of Arizona Artificial Intelligence Lab (AI Lab) Dark Web project is a long-term scientific research program that aims to study and understand the international terrorism (Jihadist) phenomena via a computational, data-centric approach. We aim to collect "ALL" web content generated by international terrorist groups, including web sites, forums, chat rooms, blogs, social networking sites, videos, virtual world, etc. We have developed various multilingual data mining, text mining, and web mining techniques to perform link analysis, content analysis, web metrics (technical sophistication) analysis, sentiment analysis, authorship analysis, and video analysis in our research. The approaches and methods developed in this project contribute to advancing the field of Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI). Such advances will help related stakeholders to perform terrorism research and facilitate international security and peace. This monograph aims to provide an overview of the Dark Web landscape, suggest a systematic, computational approach to understanding the problems, and illustrate with selected techniques, methods, and case studies developed by the University of Arizona AI Lab Dark Web team members. This work aims to provide an interdisciplinary and understandable monograph about Dark Web research along three dimensions: methodological issues in Dark Web research; database and computational techniques to support information collection and data mining; and legal, social, privacy, and data confidentiality challenges and approaches. It will bring useful knowledge to scientists, security professionals, counterterrorism experts, and policy makers. The monograph can also serve as a reference material or textbook in graduate level courses related to information security, information policy, information assurance, information systems, terrorism, and public policy.

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 American Kingpin written by Nick Bilton and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. The unbelievable true story of the man who built a billion-dollar online drug empire from his bedroom—and almost got away with it In 2011, a twenty-six-year-old libertarian programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: the Silk Road, a clandestine Web site hosted on the Dark Web where anyone could trade anything—drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons—free of the government’s watchful eye. It wasn’t long before the media got wind of the new Web site where anyone—not just teenagers and weed dealers but terrorists and black hat hackers—could buy and sell contraband detection-free. Spurred by a public outcry, the federal government launched an epic two-year manhunt for the site’s elusive proprietor, with no leads, no witnesses, and no clear jurisdiction. All the investigators knew was that whoever was running the site called himself the Dread Pirate Roberts. The Silk Road quickly ballooned into $1.2 billion enterprise, and Ross embraced his new role as kingpin. He enlisted a loyal crew of allies in high and low places, all as addicted to the danger and thrill of running an illegal marketplace as their customers were to the heroin they sold. Through his network he got wind of the target on his back and took drastic steps to protect himself—including ordering a hit on a former employee. As Ross made plans to disappear forever, the Feds raced against the clock to catch a man they weren’t sure even existed, searching for a needle in the haystack of the global Internet. Drawing on exclusive access to key players and two billion digital words and images Ross left behind, Vanity Fair correspondent and New York Times bestselling author Nick Bilton offers a tale filled with twists and turns, lucky breaks and unbelievable close calls. It’s a story of the boy next door’s ambition gone criminal, spurred on by the clash between the new world of libertarian-leaning, anonymous, decentralized Web advocates and the old world of government control, order, and the rule of law. Filled with unforgettable characters and capped by an astonishing climax, American Kingpin might be dismissed as too outrageous for fiction. But it’s all too real.

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.
