I was invited in Web Tech Talk Event as a Speaker. The event was organized by Tech Speakers Bangladesh. On that event, I gave a speech on Deep and Dark Web. I made this slide for that speech.
Most investigators turn to Google and common social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to conduct research for their investigations. However, much of the Internet is inaccessible through simple searches, and criminals are increasingly turning to the dark web to conduct illicit business.
The dark web is anonymous and requires a special browser to access and some knowledge of how to navigate it safely. However, used properly, it can be a valuable source of information for investigators. It’s worthwhile for every investigator to develop the skills and knowledge to mine this treasure trove of dark data.
Join Chad Los Schumacher, investigator and researcher at iThreat Cyber Group, as he leads participants on an exploration of investigations in the dark web.
Webinar attendees will learn:
What the dark web is and how it fits into the rest of the worldwide web
What can be found on the dark web
How to get to the dark web using Tor and other browsers
How to locate common hubs and resources on the dark web and explore what they have to offer
How to bring leads from the dark web to the surface in an investigation

The web is too big to map or traverse, too decentralised to manage, index or licence, and too dynamic to master. As a result, we rely on services such as Google Search to guide us to the resources we seek.
Usually, “asking Google” is done uncritically, with the underlying, untested assumptions that either “Google knows everything”, or “what Google knows is enough (for me)” or “what Google doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing”.
In fact, all search services, Google included, reference only a tiny fraction of the total web. At the very least, Internet users should be conscious of this, and at most, should develop additional techniques for uncovering information that Google doesn’t know about.
This talk covers the surface, deep and dark webs, and techniques for exploring the deep web.

A large portion of data available on the web is present in the so called deep web..
World Wide Web content that is not part of the Surface Web and is indexed by search engines.
It is called the Deep Web, Invisible Web or Hidden Web.
Right below the surface of where the iceberg meets underwater is the deep web.
It’s comprised of the same general hostnames as sites on the surface web, but along with the extension of those domains.
This is the specific URL of your Facebook Messenger thread with a friend, or the Department of Justice’s public archival material, or Harvard’s internal communications system. The deep web is the majority of the internet as a whole.
A darknet (or dark net) is any overlay network that can be accessed only with specific software, configurations, or authorization, often using non-standard communications protocols and ports. Two typical darknet types are friend-to-friend networks (usually used for file sharing with a peer-to-peer connection)and privacy networks such as Tor.

Summary
The layers of the Internet go far beyond the surface content that many can easily access in their
daily searches. The other content is that of the Deep Web, content that has not been indexed by
traditional search engines such as Google. The furthest corners of the Deep Web, segments known
as the Dark Web, contain content that has been intentionally concealed. The Dark Web may be
used for legitimate purposes as well as to conceal criminal or otherwise malicious activities. It is
the exploitation of the Dark Web for illegal practices that has garnered the interest of officials and
policymakers.
Individuals can access the Dark Web by using special software such as Tor (short for The Onion
Router). Tor relies upon a network of volunteer computers to route users’ web traffic through a
series of other users’ computers such that the traffic cannot be traced to the original user. Some
developers have created tools—such as Tor2web—that may allow individuals access to Tor-
hosted content without downloading and installing the Tor software, though accessing the Dark
Web through these means does not anonymize activity. Once on the Dark Web, users often
navigate it through directories such as the “Hidden Wiki,” which organizes sites by category,
similar to Wikipedia. Individuals can also search the Dark Web with search engines, which may
be broad, searching across the Deep Web, or more specific, searching for contraband like illicit
drugs, guns, or counterfeit money. While on the Dark Web, individuals may communicate
through means such as secure email, web chats, or personal messaging hosted on Tor. Though
tools such as Tor aim to anonymize content and activity, researchers and security experts are
constantly developing means by which certain hidden services or individuals could be identified
or “deanonymized.”
Anonymizing services such as Tor have been used for legal and illegal activities ranging from
maintaining privacy to selling illegal goods—mainly purchased with Bitcoin or other digital
currencies. They may be used to circumvent censorship, access blocked content, or maintain the
privacy of sensitive communications or business plans. However, a range of malicious actors,
from criminals to terrorists to state-sponsored spies, can also leverage cyberspace and the Dark
Web can serve as a forum for conversation, coordination, and action. It is unclear how much of
the Dark Web is dedicated to serving a particular illicit market at any one time, and, because of
the anonymity of services such as Tor, it is even further unclear how much traffic is actually
flowing to any given site.
Just as criminals can rely upon the anonymity of the Dark Web, so too can the law enforcement,
military, and intellige ...

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

1.Wireless Communication System_Wireless communication is a broad term that i...JeyaPerumal1
Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

2. Surface Web
The surface web is that portion of the world wide web
that is index able by conventional search engines.
It is also known as the Clear net, the visible web or index
able web.
96% of web users use search engines to find needed
information, but nearly as high a percentage cite the
inability to find desired information as one of their biggest
frustration.
A traditional search engine sees only a small amount of
the information that’s available – a measly 0.03%
[source: OEDB]
3. Deep Web – Introduction
The deep web is world wide web content that is not part
of the surface web, which is indexed by standard search
engines.
It also called the Deep net, Invisible Web or Hidden Web.
Largest growing category of new information on the
internet.
400 - 500X more public information than the Surface
Web.
Total quality 1000 – 2000X greater than the quality of the
Surface Web.
4. History
Jill Ellsworth used the term invisible Web in 1994 to refer
to websites that were not registered with any search
engine.
Mike Bergman cited a January 1996 article by Frank
Garcia: “It would be a site that’s possibly reasonably
designed, but they didn’t brother to register it with any of
the search engines. So, no one can find them! You’re
hidden. I call that Invisible Web.”
Another early use of them Invisible Web was Bruce
Mount and Matthew B. Koll of Personal Library Software
in 1996.
The first use of the specific term Deep Web, now
5. How Search Engines Work
Search engines construct a database of the Web by
using programs called Spiders or Web Crawlers that
being with a list of known Web pages.
The spider gets a copy of each page and indexes, it
storing useful information that will let the page be quickly
retrieved again later.
Any hyperlinks to new pages are added to the list of
pages to be crawled.
Eventually all reachable pages are indexed, unless the
spider runs out of time or disk space.
The collection of reachable pages defines the Surface
Web.
7. Dynamic Content
Dynamic pages which are returned in response to a
submitted query or accessed only through a from.
Especially if Open-Domain input elements(such as text
fields) are used.
Such fields are hard to navigate without Domain
knowledge
Unlinked Content
Pages which are not linked to by other pages.
Which may prevent web crawling programs from
accessing the content.
This content is referred to as pages without backlinks( or
inlinks).
8. Private Web
Sites that require registration and login( password-
protected resources).
Contextual Web
Pages with content varying for different access
contexts(e.g. ranges of client IP addresses or previous
navigation sequence).
Limited Access Content
Sites that limit access to their pages in a technical
way(e.g. using the Robots Exclusion Standard,
CAPTCHAs, or No-Cache Pragma HTTP Headers which
prohibit search engines from browsing them and creating
cached copies).
9. Scripted Content
Pages that are only accessible through links produced by
Java Script as well as content dynamically downloaded
from Web servers via Flash or Ajax Solutions.
Non-HTML/Text Content
Textual content encoded in multimedia(image or video)
files or specific file formats not handled by search
engines.
10. Deep Potential
The Deep Web is an endless repository for a mind-
reeling amount of information.
It’s powerful. It unleashes human nature in all its forms,
both good and bad.
There are engineering databases, financial information of
all kinds, medical papers, pictures, illustrations … the list
goes on, basically, forever.
For example, construction engineers could potentially
search research papers at multiple universities in order to
find the latest and greatest in bridge-building materials.
Doctors could swiftly locate the latest research on a
specific disease.
The potential is unlimited. The technical challenges are
daunting. That’s the draw of the Deep Wep.
11. Shadow Land
The Deep Web may be a shadow land of untapped potential.
The bad stuff, as always, gets most of the headlines.
You can find illegal goods and activities of all kinds through the
Dark Web.
That includes illicit drugs, child pornography, stolen credit card
numbers, human trafficking, weapons, exotic animals,
copyrighted media and anything else you can think of.
Theoretically, you could even, say, hire a hit man to kill
someone you don’t like.
But you won’t find this information with Google search.
These kinds of Web sites require you to use special Software,
such as The Onion Router, more commonly known as Tor .
12. The Onion Router(TOR)
TOR is software that installs into your browser and sets up the
specific connections you need to access Dark Web sites.
Critically it is free software for enabling online Anonymity and
Censorship resistance.
Onion routing refers to the process of removing encryption
layers from internet communication, similar to peeling back the
layers of an onion.
Using TOR makes it more difficult to trace internet activity,
including “visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages
and other communication forms”, back to user.
It is intended to protect the personal privacy of users, as well
as their freedom and ability to conduct confidential business
by keeping their internet activities from being monitored.
13. Cont….
Instead of seeing Domains that end in .com or .org, these
hidden sites end in .onion.
The most infamous of these onion sites was the now-defunct
Silk Road, an online marketplace where users could buy
drugs, guns and all sorts of other illegal items.
The FBI eventually captured Ross Ulbricht, who operated Silk
Road, but copycat sites like Black Market Reloaded are still
readily available.
TOR is the result of research done by the U.S. Naval
Research Laboratory, which created TOR for political
dissidents and whistleblowers, allowing them to communicate
without fear of reprisal.
TOR was so effective in providing anonymity for these groups
14. Money-Related
Transactions
You may wonder how any money-related transactions
can happen when sellers and buyers can’t identify each
other.
That’s where Bitcoin comes in.
Bitcoin, it’s basically an encrypted digital currency.
Like regular cash, Bitcoin is good for transactions of all
kinds and notably. It also allows for anonymity; no one
can trace a purchase, illegal or otherwise.
When paired properly with TOR, it’s perhaps the closest
thing to a foolproof way to buy and sell on the Web.
15. The Brighter Side of
Darkness
The Deep Web is home to, alternate search engines, social e-
mail services, file storage, file sharing, media, chat sites, news
outlets and whistle blowing sites, as well as sites that provide
a safe meeting ground for political dissidents and anyone else
who may find themselves on the fringes of society.
In an age where NSA-type surveillance is omnipresent and
privacy seems like a thing of the past, the Dark Web offers
some relief to people who prize their anonymity.
Bitcoin may not be entirely stable, but it offers privacy, which is
something your credit card company most certainly does not.
For citizens living in countries with violent or oppressive, the
Dark Web offers a more secure way to communicate with like-
minded individuals.
16. Future
The lines between search engine content and the Deep
Web have begun to blur, as search services start to
provide access to part or all of once-restricted content.
An increasing amount of Deep Web content is opening
up to free search as publishers and libraries make
agreements with large search engines.
In the future, Deep Web content may be defined less by
opportunity for search than by access fees or other types
of authentication.
17. Conclusion
The Deep Web will continue to perplex and fascinate who
uses the internet.
It contains an enthralling amount of knowledge that could
help us evolve technologically and as a species when
connected to other bits of information.
And of course, its darker side will always be lurking too,
just as it always does in human nature.
The Deep Web speaks to the fathomless, scattered
potential of not only the internet but also the human race.
