Hands-On Dark Web Analysis

By: Sion Retzkin

Overview of this book

The overall world wide web is divided into three main areas - the Surface Web, the Deep Web, and the Dark Web. The Deep Web and Dark Web are the two areas which are not accessible through standard search engines or browsers. It becomes extremely important for security professionals to have control over these areas to analyze the security of your organization. This book will initially introduce you to the concept of the Deep Web and the Dark Web and their significance in the security sector. Then we will deep dive into installing operating systems and Tor Browser for privacy, security and anonymity while accessing them. During the course of the book, we will also share some best practices which will be useful in using the tools for best effect. By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience working with the Deep Web and the Dark Web for security analysis

Chapter 3. The Future of the Dark Web

In the following chapters, we'll discuss the technical side of accessing the Dark Web.

When I start using any technology, I try to think what it will look like in the future. How it will be used, how it will develop, and who will be using it.

In this chapter, we'll try to address these questions, talking less about the buzz you hear about, such as illegal activity, but rather focusing on the future of the positive and practical aspects, such as online markets, and, more importantly, privacy. For the future of the Dark Web is intrinsically entwined with the future of privacy for all of us.

So let's go...back to the future!

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • What does the future of the Deep Web hold for us
  • Dark Web markets
  • The TOR Project
  • Public interest in the Dark Web
