DARK WEB−BLACK DEEP BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT

Abstract

Dark Web - black deep network, a space on the global network-Internet, is a logical structure that protects the identity of network users and hides the user's activities on the network. In the era of 5D warfare (disinformation, deception, destabilization, disruption and tailored destruction) the impossibility of personal identity and the possibility of a negative impact on the security of the state. In the era of counter-terrorism, the dark web was the ICT infrastructure that provided security to terrorist organizations and activists. Such a network provided users with complete anonymity and very good and cheap crypto-protection. Combined with cryptocurrencies, the dark web was a space for terrorist indoctrination, recruitment, propaganda and training. In the period of the fight against CoVid−19, the dark web services had a significant impact on the information environment and were a place for the spread of propaganda, conspiracy theories and the sale of media stones for the treatment of CoVid−19. During the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the deep black network and the services it provides have an impact on shaping the information environment of the conflicting parties, but it can be said that it has an impact on the global information environment. The black deep network as a network for protecting the identity and activities of actors in the cyber domain represents a global security challenge in the fight against terrorism, during the CoVid−19 pandemic and in modern conflicts.
