This paper will be looking at The Dark Net. Some people associate the Dark Net with TOR. It has become a topic that has been getting more interest from people and many still do not know about it. The Dark Net is a type of internet that is separate to the internet that we all use. It will discuss issues with anonymity, confidentiality, illegal activity of Tor and its concentration on provision of technically anonymous services as well as where it is going in the future Introduction Darknet systems

The History of the Tor and Its Relevance Today: The Implications for Digital Privacy In recent years the Tor Project has gotten some bad press; it’s often been erroneously equated with the Dark Web, a portion of the Internet that hosts sites such as the infamous Silk Road that allows drugs, illegal firearms, prostitutes, slaves, and the like to be purchased anonymously. The Tor operates by passing encrypted data through a network of servers around the world in order to prevent prying eyes from seeing

Security and privacy concerns present challenges for law enforcement combating deep web criminal activity. Crimes committed on or with the Internet are relatively new. Those crimes include illicit trade in drugs, weapons, wildlife, stolen goods, or people; illegal gambling; sex trafficking; child pornography; terrorism and anarchy; corporate and sovereign espionage; and financial crimes. Police agencies have been fighting an uphill battle always one step behind an ever evolving digital landscape

technology, a few different aspects of it can be tied back to the government. In this case, the Dark Web may be directly related to the, “creation of ‘Onion Routing’ by the United States Naval Research Laboratory, which was the first step toward the Tor Project.” Nevertheless, this was only the first step to be taken in the greater evolution of the Dark Web, for instance the creation of Freenet which was developed by Ian Clarke allowed more individual to access this otherwise unknown area of the web

as spies. Tor works by relaying one’s internet connection through multiple volunteers’ internet connection from other countries, making the connection virtually impossible to trace back. Just because one uses Tor, it does not mean that they are a volunteer as well. Volunteers set up Tor relays so that other people can browse anonymously, most of these volunteers are located in countries where internet privacy is taken very seriously. One might claim that if the government initiated Tor, then it would

The deep web commonly referred to as the “invisible web” holds 96% of the content on the internet, making it roughly 500 times greater than the surface web (Norton). The content captured by a search engine is denoted as the surface web. Through the assistance of web crawlers, search engines are able to effortlessly capture and catalogue content on the internet and recall it when a search is made. Conversely, webpages beyond the range of these crawlers form a hidden and more complicated place referred

President Trump is expected to sign into law a decision by Congress to overturn new privacy rules for Internet Service Providers (ISP). This means that US ISPs will soon no longer need consent from users to share browsing history with marketers and other third parties. What is the Dark Web? The Dark web is a part of the commercial internet that is not accessible thru regular internet browser software (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox). Designed in 1995 by the United States Naval Research Laboratory

First, I would like to apologize for being late. It was entirely my fault, I had confused the 2:30 NSA presentation as being the one I was supposed to write the report on, and I am truly sorry for causing you and/or Columbus State as a whole any embarrassment in front of the FBI. When I arrived, David had just begun about bitcoins and then later moved on into the deep web with a focus on a website called The Silk Road. From this, I am assuming that what I had missed in the beginning was related

people have turned to The Onion Router (TOR). TOR is a free web browser which protects people’s anonymity and allows them to avoid censorship of the World Wide Web. Users of TOR can browse the web without their identities or locations being monitored by anyone. TOR does this by sending user traffic through a complex network consisting of thousands of relays that conceal a user’s identity. The term “onion” refers to the onion-like application layers of encryption. TOR encrypts the user’s information multiple

been said to be a good idea for a better and safe society and the different terms that come up when one talks about the topic of surveilling private citizens. Key ideas that should be noted for learning more about the topic would be for example PRISM, TOR, and of course the opposing opinion of whether or not government collection for security reasons is violating on people’s individual rights,
