THE DARK WEB

Internet Trolling for Terrorists (Toronto Star) At the University of Arizona, Hsinchun “Chen, a computer scientist, created a project known as the Dark Web”--an Internet program that accesses “the dark corners of websites where radicals hide and attempt to recruit,” reports the Star. Chen says he has amassed “the world’s largest collection of terrorism websites and is one of a handful of experts on contract to the U.S. government. With a technique known as ‘spidering,’ the Dark Web continually crawls through the Internet finding the back doors into chat rooms and protected websites where some of today’s terrorist plots are hatched.”
