Conducting Investigations on the Dark Web
Abstract:
Recent years have seen the expansion of the dark web for use in criminal activity. The takedown of the Silk Road, and more recently Alphabay and Hansa, brought public attention to the dark side of the web, while law enforcement has the increased task of how to respond to criminal behaviour online. This paper provides an overview of the dark web, including a discussion of law enforcement and intelligence community techniques in investigating dark web markets.
