“…By analyzing the flow of Bitcoin across the dark web, investigators can perform financial analysis. They can sometimes also determine the location of criminals based on transaction records and wallet addresses associated with individuals [14]. This could also be specifically helpful in financial crime cases.…”

“…Social network analysis is the use of technologies to learn about the network among criminal organizations and platforms. This method uses tools to scrape information about a criminal or terrorist organization and their connections from an online source [14]. The information for social network analysis is obtained from only one information source, text, but it is still one of the most helpful tools for open-source intelligence investigations.…”

“…Social network analysis can be used in terrorism and extremism cases when analyzing the activity found on dark web forums of individuals involved in these organizations. This will give investigators the ability to know who is in these organizations, who the key people are, and potentially give them insight into the past and future activity of the organization [14]. A method applied to this area focuses on the process of online radicalization, searching forums based in various locations to determine who the recruiters of an organization are.…”

As technology has become pivotal a part of life, it has also become a part of criminal life. Criminals use new technology developments to commit crimes, and investigators must adapt to these changes. Many people have, and will become, victims of cybercrime, making it even more important for investigators to understand current methods used in cyber investigations. The two general categories of cyber investigations are digital forensics and open-source intelligence. Cyber investigations are affecting more than just the investigators. They must determine what tools they need to use based on the information that the tools provide and how effectively the tools and methods work. Tools are any application or device used by investigators, while methods are the process or technique of using a tool. This survey compares the most common methods available to investigators to determine what kind of evidence the methods provide, and which of them are the most effective. To accomplish this, the survey establishes criteria for comparison and conducts an analysis of the tools in both mobile digital forensic and open-source intelligence investigations. We found that there is no single tool or method that can gather all the evidence that investigators require. Many of the tools must be combined to be most effective. However, there are some tools that are more useful than others. Out of all the methods used in mobile digital forensics, logical extraction and hex dumps are the most effective and least likely to cause damage to the data. Among those tools used in open-source intelligence, natural language processing has more applications and uses than any of the other options.

“…The Dark Net, referred to as the Dark Web, gains more attention from individuals who are concerned about their online privacy, since it is focused on providing user anonymity [1]. The Dark Web concept has been used since the early 2000s [2], and there have been many studies on terrorism activities.…”

The Dark Web is known as a place triggering a variety of criminal activities. Anonymization techniques enable illegal operations, leading to the loss of confidential information and its further use as bait, a trade product or even a crime tool. Despite technical progress, there is still not enough awareness of the Dark Web and its secret activity. In this study, we introduced the Dark Web Enhanced Analysis (DWEA), in order to analyze and gather information about the content accessed on the Dark Net based on data characteristics. The research was performed to identify how the Dark Web has been influenced by recent global events, such as the COVID-19 epidemic. The research included the usage of a crawler, which scans the network and collects data for further analysis with machine learning. The result of this work determines the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic on the Dark Net.
