Chris will be presenting 'Demystifying the Dark Web'.

This presentation will explore dark webs across three primary areas of concern:

Firstly, Chris will provide attendees with a deeper understanding of the information systems that contribute to the network & look at techniques to better leverage this information for intelligence gains.

Secondly, Chris will unpack how dark web networks can be observed at a macro & non-technical level to inform shifts in geopolitical & social dynamics within contested or oppressive environments, which can be critical to understanding emerging anonymous communication pathways in those environments.

Finally, Chris will explore how to find & investigate dark web illicit services by learning about information slippage across surface, deep & dark web to peel back the layers of illegal eco-system & develop some simple approaches to automating the collection & monitoring of dark nets to support OSINT requirements.

OSINT Live is a free, full day, training and educational event, taking place on September 15th, 9 AM - 5:30 PM ET. To register for OSINT Live and Chris' session, head over to https://www.skopenow.com/osint-live.
