暗网,深网的一部分,只能通过专门的计算机软件访问,并用于网络犯罪等非法活动,贩毒,和剥削。像Tor这样的技术进步,比特币,加密货币允许犯罪分子匿名进行这些活动,导致暗网的使用增加。同时,电脑已经成为我们日常生活中不可或缺的一部分,塑造我们的行为,并影响我们如何与彼此和世界互动。这项工作对过去十年在Darkweb上进行的研究进行了文献计量学研究。研究结果表明,大多数关于Darkweb的研究可以基于关键词共现分析分为四个方面:(一)网络安全,恶意软件,和网络攻击,(ii)网络犯罪,数据隐私,和密码学,(三)机器学习,社交媒体,和人工智能,和(四)贩毒,加密市场。来自美国的国家科学基金会是最大的资助者。暗网活动干扰了联合国为促进今世后代的和平与可持续性而制定的可持续发展目标。SDG16(和平,正义,和StrongInstitutions)的出版物和引文数量最多,但与Darkweb呈反比关系,因为后者破坏了前者。这项研究强调了对比特币进行进一步研究的必要性,区块链,IoT,NLP,加密货币,网络钓鱼和网络犯罪,僵尸网络和恶意软件,数字取证,暗网的电子犯罪对策。该研究进一步阐明了Darkweb的多维性质,强调技术之间错综复杂的关系,心理学,和地缘政治。这种全面的理解是发展有效对策的基石,并呼吁采用跨学科研究方法。该研究还深入研究了驱使个人在Darkweb上进行非法活动的心理动机,强调了有针对性的干预措施以促进亲社会在线行为的紧迫性。
The Darkweb, part of the deep web, can be accessed only through specialized computer software and used for illegal activities such as
cybercrime, drug trafficking, and exploitation. Technological advancements like Tor, bitcoin, and cryptocurrencies allow criminals to carry out these activities anonymously, leading to increased use of the Darkweb. At the same time, computers have become an integral part of our daily lives, shaping our behavior, and influencing how we interact with each other and the world. This work carries out the bibliometric study on the research conducted on Darkweb over the last decade. The findings illustrate that most research on Darkweb can be clustered into four areas based on keyword co-occurrence analysis: (i) network security, malware, and cyber-attacks, (ii)
cybercrime, data privacy, and cryptography, (iii) machine learning, social media, and artificial intelligence, and (iv) drug trafficking, cryptomarket. National Science Foundation from the United States is the top funder. Darkweb activities interfere with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) laid forth by the United Nations to promote peace and sustainability for current and future generations. SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) has the highest number of publications and citations but has an inverse relationship with Darkweb, as the latter undermines the former. This study highlights the need for further research in bitcoin, blockchain, IoT, NLP, cryptocurrencies, phishing and
cybercrime, botnets and malware, digital forensics, and electronic crime countermeasures about the Darkweb. The study further elucidates the multi-dimensional nature of the Darkweb, emphasizing the intricate relationship between technology, psychology, and geopolitics. This comprehensive understanding serves as a cornerstone for evolving effective countermeasures and calls for an interdisciplinary research approach. The study also delves into the psychological motivations driving individuals towards illegal activities on the Darkweb, highlighting the urgency for targeted interventions to promote pro-social online behavior.
