Unsurprisingly, the deep web is also home to criminality – but so too is the clear web. To clarify, the deep web is broadly defined as anything that is not indexed by traditional search engines.
The dark web is not synonymous with cybercrime. While the dark web is home to lots of crime, it also hosts many legitimate companies like New York Times and Facebook who offer Tor-based services, as well as generally benign content. Assumption 1: The dark web is synonymous with the criminal internet.However, let’s first dispel some misconceptions about the dark web. Unfortunately, gaining visibility into criminal locations is difficult: it requires specialized knowledge, access to closed sources, and technology that’s capable of monitoring these sources for misuses of your data. The anonymity of the dark web makes it an attractive technology for illegal purposes. It is a web of anonymity where users’ identities and locations are protected by encryption technology that routes user data through many servers across the globe – making it extremely difficult to track users. The dark web is an area of the internet that is only accessible with specific browser software, such as Tor or I2P. In truth, the dark web only contributes to a small chunk of cybercrime-we must consider additional sources to get a truer sense of the threat landscape. Iceberg analogies have been common for several years, ostensibly demonstrating the deep and dark web is significantly larger than the open web.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of ear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) concerning the dark web. Few companies span all these sources fewer still have capabilities to go beyond simple scraping of sites. “Deep and dark web” spans a huge range of potential sources marketplaces, closed forums, messaging apps, and paste sites. However, monitoring these sources is challenging, and few solutions have sophisticated coverage. The most successful strategies we observe have clear requirements, such as fraud detection, threat monitoring, and finding exposed credentials.
Gaining access to dark web and deep web sources can be extremely powerful- if you focus on relevant use cases.
