Darknet - Darknet Analysis

During the past years, a trend of moving criminal activities to the Darknet could be observed, especially considering so-called “underground marketplaces”, closed forums where people trade illegal goods. While these marketplaces can currently not be monitored automatically due to technical reasons, the information gained would be important for trend analysis. In this project we propose several techniques for automating the task of gaining access and monitoring these important sources of information, while focusing on preserving privacy of individuals.
