A team of computer scientists from the University of Arizona (UA), whose mascot is
the wildcat,
is tracking and analyzing the use of the Internet by terrorists to recruit new members,
train supporters in terrorist tactics and methods, and spread propaganda. This
research project, dubbed Dark
Web, is supported by the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies. Its
goal is to
collect and analyze all terrorist content on the Internet, including e-mail, Internet
forums, and
terrorist-related Web sites (now estimated to exceed 50,000).42 The project team is
made up of
roughly one dozen UA professors and graduate students.
At its initiation, the Dark Web was only able to collect and analyze Internet
communications
in English, Arabic, and Spanish. German and French were quickly added. Chinese, Farsi
(spoken
in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan), Dutch, and other languages are also being added.
Discussion
Answer:
On my opinion, the techniques and tools applied
in the Dark Web project is helpful but I think they
must consider the risky effects of it especially
the people who are innocent. As we all know
that it is not safe to add any personal and some
other information in the internet because there
are many hackers who are enable to steal any
confidential data that in the future may cause
bad effects in our lives.
Answer:
These are the positive ways that this technology
could be used to improve the performance of
organizations or to help us in our daily live:
1.The organization used tracking and analyzing it
would be very helpful to us to be aware if there is
Terrorist within our area or somewhere.
2.It also helps the organizations progress in terms of
their performance and competency.
3.It may also stop the agony of the people about
terrorist because of their tracking and analyzing
technique.
Answer:
Dark web also employs social-network analysis to
map extremist networks. NSF of the National
Science Foundation supports fundamental
research and education across all fields of science
and engineering , with an annual budget of $5.92
billion.
They can have as many as 20,000 members and
half a million postings, making the Web
Information Analysis. Dark Web utilizes sort of
existing technologies which includes, Web
speeding, content analysis, authorship analysis,
link analysis, sentiment analysis, statistical
analysis, cluster analysis and multimedia analysis.
