Stephen Arnold

The Dark Web has changed dramatically in the past 18 months with the number of sites and services decreasing significantly. But illegal activity via Internet connected systems continues to rise. This session reviews the new methods that bad actors are using to locate fellow travelers, communicate, exchange data and media, and pay for contraband like stolen financial information (FULLZ). In this session, the presenter will illustrate the shift to end-to-end encrypted messaging, the use of Surface Web discussion groups and services like pastesites, and alternative obfuscation tools like TAILS, QUBES, and similar systems. Attendees will learn how to keep pace with the innovations the erosion of the Dark Web is encouraging with information about new tools designed for LE and intel professionals.
