Hello and welcome back to the course of dark web
and cybersecurity from ecouncil today. We
will begin in the section 2 importance of
dark web and how dangerous it is. So let's get
started in the importance of dark web. And then
we continue about how dangerous it is.
So basically the importance of dark web
is five main things dark web
monitoring automation maintain privacy and blocking
censorship and also dark web
markets these five things are the most important
things in dark web.
Because every one of them you will
use them for your organization
for yourself for yourself research for
any security research you're doing
there's a lot of uses here.
So the main thing here the dark web
monitoring and the most important thing and this slide
because this allows you to search and index
everything you need to know
about a specific. Let's say apt advanced
persistent threat
A hacker groups what they are
targeting what's the next attack predicting terrorist attacks
predicting zero days attacks how it
can affect your organization monitoring specific stuff
for your organization, like vulnerability like
data breaches You
can predict and you can answer these
stuff quicker when you
don't know about them. So basically dark web
monitoring allows you to get information that usually
you don't see on the surface web and that lets
you secure yourself or your
Enterprise.
So it really helpful and we will talk more and more
about it and the section when we will
learn about dark web and threat intelligence.
And next we have automation to automate
anything for in the dark web to get data
maintain privacy blocking censorship basically
for how can we
stay secure on dark web and how it can
allow us to be in the freedom of this decentralized
internet.
And at the end we have this dark web market and where
you can check and be up
to date what?
What there's being bought or sold on the
dark web and if you are a low enforcement or you
are working as a cyber analyst
it will help you to see what it's being
sold and you
can do like reports about what's be what's
happening on the dark web markets.
like drug trafficking zero days exploits and
many more
So let's talk more about dark web monitoring
and dark web monitoring. We have a lot
of stuff that we mentioned in the
Last slide but we will
talk more about it now. So basically in dark web
monitoring you can find data breaches. You can detect physical
threats against people and assets you can
do prediction about potential terrorists
attacks. Keep tracks of hackers activities zero days
exploits run somewhere Banking and most importantly the
last three there is zero days
exploits around someone and thanking
Because you know and the banking obviously can
monitor what's being sold for credit
cards leaks and also like PayPal
accounts Western Unions as we
saw in the first section one. I did a demo
for you how we hackers sell credit cards
or accounts and PayPal or anything from
this Banking and the financial stuff
and also run somewhere. There's lots
of ransomware that on the surface web. No one's
know about it. But on the dark web when you do dark
web monitoring, you can find a lot of friends somewhere. That's
not known and it can like bypass any
kind of security detections and
it can do the whole attack.
immediately
so which can put the organization at high
risk and that can jeopardize the business and everything.
And making a high impact also the zero days
exploits. Like there's a lot of websites that can tell you
about what's new about zero day
like today and literally this day we have
like a new Instagram exploit.
And there's a lot of exploits and you can do like monitoring
about them the good thing in the
zero-day exploits monitoring that you can do it also on
the surface web cars because there's a lot of websites that
monitor these stuff from the dark web
and it's being added on on the surface swab
which is good. So not always you need the dark web
to get this kind of info for zero day, but it's
also good to do the monitoring from the dark web
to get even more and more data.
Moving on to automation automation. It's a
really good subject and dark web because it allows
us to create scripts automate a
specific process to get data from dark web.
And there's a lot of automation that
you can do one of the main and
the most famous platforms for
automation dark web is onion and gesture we will
talk more about this platform when we
will reach the section of threat intelligence and dark
web because I would demonstrate a lot of demons about
this stuff but it's also
important to talk about it now because now
we are talking about the importance of dark web and I should mention this
automation thing. So a
good examples and many examples you can do
in Dark Club Automation you can do like receiving onion
links. You can receive specific
data from an onion link. You can
do port scan on onion link. You can build your own platform for
monitoring and alerting same idea as
onion ingested, but you can customize it as whatever you
want because in onion ingested it also in decks
everything in the dark web. It's a really good tool to
like Automation and
alerting about the day specific data from
dark web. But also we can build your own
script using python.
It's really easy and we will do one
exercise about this in this course so that
you can get an idea about this.
But for the time being with it's more into
Theory now, but we will cover the demo later.
maintaining privacy and blocking censorship as we
mentioned in the section 1
This is a shift by using door obviously
because store allows security connection.
It's a tunnel for the onion
nodes at encrypts and decrypts. All
the data all the traffic is being encrypted. And
also there's a feature about locking censorship
and I showed you that in the section one where you
can use this kind of feature to block sensorship because
some countries doesn't allow you to use
store or dark web.
But also you can use VPN for extra
security.
To make your traffic also more and more
encrypted but it doesn't mean that Thor is
not enough store. It is enough. But if you want to
use an extra stuff, you
can use VPN and the best one I could recommend
is North VPN or Express VPN.
It's really good also to maintain privacy and
dark web can use temporary
emails private emails like Auto proton emails
that are encrypted. That's the
most important thing here. We needed to be
encrypted so I can use proton it's free. It's encrypted
and you can use also temporary emails. If
you don't want to use always the same
email so temporary emails is also a good
idea.
And private messaging. There's a good opportunity
to do private messaging and
it's end to end encrypted. It's not easy to
track it and a good thing about the
dark web it is it is blocked.
Blocked from the censorship when you use all these feature.
Obviously, it's blocks all the censorships. So
it's really hard to track what you
post what you do so you can like do freely post
or talk about Express anything you
want not like on the surface web when you
put a post on social media and you will be
worried about it. So on the dark web it's a different
perspective, which is a better one.
Direct web markets and it's the last bullet about the
importance of the dark web before moving on to
the next video and the dark web markets.
It's really good to to see
the news what's happening on the markets what's being sold what
the hackers are doing like Instagram
accounts Netflix account anything what's
happening on the dark web? It's also good to keep an eye on that
special. If you are a low enforcement or your
work for the government and you want to see the drug
trafficking or anything from Easter so
monitoring these kind of stuff. It's also good and there's
a lot of links you can get and
before moving to the next video. I would like
to show a couple of links that
it can be used for this particular reason.
As you can see I have this Excel sheet.
And there's a lot of onion links.
So basically, it's an Excel file
sent by hunchley. It's a
really good online platform. You can go
to the website and you can
type your email and you will receive a daily reports about
on your links that is down or
up and it will help you.
To search whatever you want. So basically since I
brought the example of Market, we need something ready
to Market. So you type in the search here.
Market, and you will get these.
data
And you can look out for anything you want. It's
not only for Market.
So basically, let's say I need the credit.
and you want to do find all
so basically we have two links related to credit
cards you can also do
social media
So basically also we have one.
related to a social media, which is this social
media hacking Services offering Facebook
Instagram Twitter email Snapchat WhatsApp attacks,
so
There's a lot of stuff to dig in here. So it's
a really good source to get onion links.
So you can look at it and do the analysis
that you want.
and that's the
Report I was talking about you can get it
from Huntley. That's the website huntsville.ly /
dark web -awson and
you can add your email and you
can click on send me and it will send
you every day the new updates about
this report. So you could click on the email you can
go to the Dropbox link that
they will give you and you can check every
day about this.
Excel file is called hidden services.
It's fully secure. You don't need to worry about it and
you can search anything you want.
To make your experience and monitoring and
security analysis is here and easier.
Thank you and see you on the next video about how
dangerous is the dark web.
