Dark Web & Cybercrime Investigations

John Hammond has done extensive research on the dark web, shared a number of his findings (even some shenanigans) on his popular YouTube channel and even has a dedicated playlist on Cybercrime Investigations. Now you get to learn directly from the master himself.

Learn cyber threat intelligence through investigations navigating the underground. Across Tor Hidden Services and the dark web, you’ll learn how to uncover cybercrime. From a history of the dark web and details of the seedy under-belly of the Internet to what a job in this field actually requires, you’ll get a broad understanding of the entire underworld ecosystem, how to navigate it, as well as what your organizations or clients might expect from a Cybercrime Investigator!

DW & Cybercrime Investigations – Course Intro by John Hammond

An expanded outline can be found using the “Course Details & Purchase” buttons, but here’s a quick glance at what you’ll learn in this course that contains 15 videos, tons of content and quizzes to test your knowledge.

  • Introduction
  • Cybercrime Communities & An Early History
  • Data Breaches, Fraud & Security
  • DW & Russian Language Cybercrime Forums
  • Virtual Private Networks & Virtual Machines
  • Tor Browser
  • DW OpSec
  • OpSec & Investigations
  • Finale

Since it’s impossible to recreate the dark web in VMs, there’s no virtual environment. But we still want you to get some hands-on experience, so we’ve included exercises that you can do on your own to get a more intuitive understanding of how this world works including creating your own .onion site and scraping contents using Python.
