DarkCyber for May 29, 2018, is now available at www.arnoldit.com/wordpress and on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/272088088.
Stephen E Arnold’s DarkCyber is a weekly video news and analysis program about the Dark Web and lesser known Internet services.
The lead story reports that the demand for capable cyber experts continues to go up. Human resource professionals face a daunting task. Information about what makes a good cyber expert or hacker is sparse. The hiring criteria for an MBA are well known. How does one determine if a candidate can write exploits or navigate hidden networks? DarkCyber reveals the attributes of an excellent cyber expert.
Free Dark Web search systems are usually contain stale results and broken links. Finding a Dark Web site or a hidden network service is difficult. Commercial Dark Web search systems are expensive and not practical for many researchers. The alternative to Google-style search are lists of sites compiled by individuals. Lists can be located on the Surface Web, pastesites, and forums. DarkCyber examines one list and points out its strengths and weaknesses and answers the question, “How useful is a compiled listing of Dark Web sites?”
DarkCyber profiles a listing of open source intelligence software. OSINT tools can be used to make sense of data obtained from Dark Web sites or chat sessions. Many of these programs are available at no or low cost. Stephen E Arnold said, “The OSINT Framework is a useful resource for individuals looking for specific tools. Many of the programs can be used with little or no set up. This is an excellent resource.”
The final story for May 29, 2018, is a report about the Perfecta Lantern Dark Web service. The Perfecta team performs Dark Web indexing and offers licensees a range of features. The system relies on artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to deliver high-value cyber information. The DarkCyber team noted that Perfecta assert that its Lantern service exceeds the traditional Dark Web monitoring services available today.
