Darknet (roxas, juan raveeno s) powerpoint file
- 1. Darknet By: Roxas, Juan Raveeno S.
- 2. Definition • A.K.A. the deep web, invisible web, and dark web • Web pages unreachable by any usual means • Web pages not detectable by search engines to remain anonymous
- 3. Purpose • Venue for private communication • Venue for hidden information being shared
- 4. Examples • Some popular darknet: Tor (the onion router), Freenet and I2P • Special-purpose darknet: usually used for illegal file sharing (copyrighted media, pirated software, malware programs, and illicit content like child pornography)
- 5. Advantage & Disadvantage • Advantage: Medium for expression, organization and flow of information for people living under oppressive or restrictive governments • Disadvantage: Attracts numerous criminal activities
- 6. Question 1 • Since it is not easily discoverable, this will draw and attract criminals to participate in illegal activities over the internet such as buying of drugs, weapons, pornography, etc.
- 7. • There is evidence that the darknet will continue to exist and provide low cost, highquality service to a large group of consumers. This means that in many markets, the darknet will be a competitor to legal commerce
- 8. Question 2 • In the present, not much is being done to prevent this kind of activity; therefore I believe that the darknet will still exist in two years. Also because it is not given urgent attention because of other more important criminal activities.
- 9. • Since one of the advantages is it provides a venue for oppressed people to share information and allows freedom of expression, then the existence of darknet will continue because the existence of oppressed people will always be present.
