Dark Web Forensics

You have, no doubt, seen the term ‘dark web’ in various news stories.  However, many people in cybersecurity don’t know much about it, nor how to investigate it.  The dark web is a web of sites that are available only via the TOR network.  Now certainly not all of these are criminal sites. Many are simply discussion boards, political groups, and similar perfectly legal activities. However, the nature of the dark web provides a great deal of anonymity. And that makes it an ideal place for criminal activities.
