Systematic Approach for Detection and Assessment of Dark Web Threat Evolution

Abstract

Cyber thieves and terrorists use the dark web as one of the most difficult channels to achieve their nefarious goals. There are many similarities between cyber-crimes and real-world crimes taking place on the dark web. However, the dark web's sheer breadth and anonymity are key to tracing the offenders. The first step in finding effective solutions to cybercrime is to assess the different dark web criminal hazards. The investigation of the dark web includes a review of crimes to minimize crime issues. To assist cyber security specialists, the authors used the systematic literature review approach and extracted data from 65 publications from the most relevant internet resources to meet research aims. As a result of an exhaustive investigation, systematic literature review is able to provide a clear picture of how criminal activity on the dark web is expanding and examine the strengths and weaknesses of existing methods for tracking down criminals. This study has showed, to aid law enforcement in the apprehension of criminals, digital evidence must be analyzed as per established standards.
