Cybersecurity and the DarkNet
- 1. Cybersecurity and the DarkNet Finding and Stopping Cybercriminals on the DeepWeb and DarkNet
- 2. Surface Web • Search Engines such as Google cover less than 1% of the Internet • Criminals moving from Surface to the DeepWeb and DarkNet
- 3. Deep Web • Any webpage that is not indexed by a search engine.
- 4. Dark Net • TCPI Protocols to access network • Maintain level of anonymity • TOR (The Onion Router) • TOR Services (Websites hosted on TOR) • Freenet
- 5. Who Uses the DarkNet? • Hackers • Criminals • Suppliers and Customers • Privacy advocates • Governments • Cybersecurity professionals
- 6. Cybercriminals Moving from Surface to Deep Web • Surface web highly monitored • Hard to be private and anonymous • Gathering of data • Government surveillance (PRISM)
- 7. What can be bought (using Bitcoin) on the DarkNet? • Zero Days/Malware • Illegal Guns/Ammo • Child Pornography • Human Hunting Expeditions • Drugs • Hitmen • Sex Slaves • Red Rooms (Pay for Pain)
- 8. How to Stop Cybercriminals on the DarkWeb • Machine Learning – “A method of data analysis that automates analytical model building.” (http://www.sas.com/en_us/insights/analytics/machine-learning.html) • Tool used to scrape and find Zero Days and Malware • Reads and crawls HTML pages • Track down 300 cyber threats a week with ML • “With the use of machine learning models, we are able to recall 92% of products in marketplaces and 80% of discussions on forums relating to malicious hacking with high precision,” says Nunes and co.

- 9. How the Darknet is Going Mainstream
- 10. Question & Discussion 1) How should cybersecurity professionals and governments’ handle the Darknet? 2) Does the Deep Web and Darknet serve a legitimate purpose (privacy, underground markets, etc)? 3) Is vigilante hacking ever justified for taking down some of the sites on the Darknet and Deep Web? 4) What will be the next evolution for hackers and cybercriminals?
