Unlike the surface level web, the dark web is a network of sites hidden behind powerful encryption technology. Encryption allows individuals to access sites on the dark web without being easily observed by law enforcement or others. Given these high levels of secrecy, the dark web has become a hub for illegal activity, including dark web marketplaces (where individuals buy and sell illegal goods) and hacker forums (where individuals advertise and hire expert hackers). In recent years, researchers have collected dark web data to explore a range of phenomena, including the dynamics of dark web marketplaces and the characteristics of victims of double extortion ransomware attacks. In this workshop, students will learn safety protocols and ethical standards for accessing sites on the dark web. Students will learn about the range of potential data sources available via sites on the dark web and engage in hands-on exploration of these sources. Students will also become familiar with how dark web data has been used in current research , as well as how it might be applied in future research. By the end of the workshop, students will have developed an understanding of how to safely access sites on the dark web and the wide range of potential research applications for dark web data.
