Advanced Darkweb Investigations: From Data Collection to Actionable Information (Live Remote)
Advanced Level Course
Course Overview
The Advanced darkweb Investigations course is designed to elevate examiners understanding of the Darkweb, focusing on data collection and transformation it into actionable intelligence. Operating primarily within the Linux environment, participants will acquire the skills and resources to navigate and investigate the Darkweb effectively
Course Description
Participants will primarily work within the Linux environment throughout the course, gaining essential skills and resources for Darkweb operations. The curriculum covers environmental factors unique to Linux that streamline Darkweb investigations, including setting up Debian on VirtualBox and configuring a Tor node. Students will also learn to utilize Parrot OS as an investigative platform, exploring its tools tailored for Darkweb investigations and leveraging Wireshark for network analysis.
A significant focus of the course is on setting up and utilizing Tor Onion Services on Debian, including establishing Darknet websites and conducting reconnaissance on Onion Services. Participants will learn to use Tor Browser’s Web Developer Tools and network functions for investigative purposes, alongside scanning techniques to identify weaknesses in Tor Onion Services.
Furthermore, the curriculum encompasses lawful exploitation of site vulnerabilities, Darkweb OSINT tools, evidence collection procedures on Linux, and operation of various Darknet networks such as I2P and Lokinet. Participants will also gain insight into crypto wallets on Linux and become familiar with common attack methods employed by Darkweb actors, including DDoS attacks and phishing sites.
By the conclusion of the course, participants will have developed advanced skills in Darkweb investigations, equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to collect actionable information and combat illicit activities within the Darkweb ecosystem.
Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with computer command line usage, Linux-based operating systems, and the Python programming language.
By the end of this course, participants will have gained advanced proficiency in conducting Darkweb investigations within a Linux environment, enabling them to collect, analyze, and act upon critical intelligence effectively.
