Session

Darknet Investigations

What is the sociological background of commercial cybercrime? Which players are involved in the darknet? How do they organise themselves? How are they finalising the transactions and how do they exchange money and goods? (Unless they do not trade goods, but illegal services like assassinations, of course.) Scip is constantly monitoring and analysing the darknet; assessing the black markets for drugs, weapons, data and crime-on-demand. This talk is a report about this work.
