THE 2016 AMENDMENTS TO CRIMINAL RULE 41: NATIONAL SEARCH WARRANTS TO SEIZE CYBERSPACE, "PARTICULARLY' SPEAKING INTRODUCTION "One may know how to conquer without being able to do it."' George Orwell's dystopia, with the ever-watchful Big Brother, has seemingly become a reality with the recently passed amend- ments to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.2 Rule 41, governing searches and seizures, now permits magis- trate judges to authorize agents-under a single warrant-to "remotely access," and simultaneously search, copy and seize in- formation from an infinite number of unknown electronic devices in multiple districts anywhere in the country.' The unlimited ju- risdiction provision is triggered when a device's location is ob- scured through "technological means," or if agents are investigat- ing computer crimes in five or more districts4-regardless of whether the locations of the innumerable search targets are known.

  • A Framework for More Effective Dark Web Marketplace Investigations

Hayes 1,2, Francesco Cappa 3,* ID and James Cardon 1 1 Seidenberg School of Computer Science & Information Systems, Pace University, One Pace Plaza, New York, NY 10038, USA; [email protected] (D.R.H.); [email protected] (J.C.) 2 Dipartimento di Ingegneria Meccanica e Aerospaziale, Sapienza Università di Roma, Via Eudossiana 18, 00184 Roma, Italy 3 Department of Business and Management, LUISS Guido Carli University, Viale Pola 12, 00198 Roma, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 May 2018; Accepted: 23 July 2018; Published: 26 July 2018 Abstract: The success of the Silk Road has prompted the growth of many Dark Web marketplaces. This exponential growth has provided criminal enterprises with new outlets to sell illicit items. Thus, the Dark Web has generated great interest from academics and governments who have sought to unveil the identities of participants in these highly lucrative, yet illegal, marketplaces. Traditional Web scraping methodologies and investigative techniques have proven to be inept at unmasking these marketplace participants. This research provides an analytical framework for automating Dark Web scraping and analysis with free tools found on the World Wide Web. Using a case study marketplace, we successfully tested a Web crawler, developed using AppleScript, to retrieve the account information for thousands of vendors and their respective marketplace listings. This paper clearly details why AppleScript was the most viable and efficient method for scraping Dark Web marketplaces. The results from our case study validate the efficacy of our proposed analytical framework, which has relevance for academics studying this growing phenomenon and for investigators examining criminal activity on the Dark Web.

  • The Fourth Amendment and the Dark Web: How to Embrace a Digital Jurisprudence That Protects Individual Liberties
    The Fourth Amendment and the Dark Web: How to Embrace a Digital Jurisprudence that Protects Individual Liberties MCKENZIE HIGHTOWER* INTRODUCTION The dark net is a world of power and freedom: of expression, of creativity, of information, of ideas. Power and freedom endow our creative and our destructive faculties. The dark net magnifies both, making it easier to explore every desire, to act on every dark impulse, to indulge every neurosis. –Jamie Bartlett1 A tip in February 2015 set off a chain of remarkable events that eventu- ally led the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to a child pornography website on the dark web named “Playpen.”2 However, the FBI did not shut down the website right away.3 Instead, the FBI operated the website for two weeks to identify website users.4 Law enforcement eventually applied for a warrant in the Eastern District of Virginia to use the Network Investigative Technique (NIT) to identify Playpen’s users and administrators.5 The NIT can be thought of as a form of malware because it gains access to a suspect’s computer without his or her consent. Specifically, the NIT collects the target computer’s “Host Name,” operating system, IP address, and “Media Access Control” address as well as other information. 6 This was a risky and controversial plan because it required the government to operate a child pornography website. To obtain a warrant, law enforcement prepared an affidavit documenting its basis for probable cause and the urgent need to identify some of the 150,000 users exploiting children on the website.7 However, the application did not—and could not—state with particularity * Georgetown University Law Center, J.D.

  • The Dark Web and Employer Liability
    3 SCHEIN-TRAUTMAN 03.10.20 (DO NOT DELETE) 4/8/2020 12:35 AM THE DARK WEB AND EMPLOYER LIABILITY DAVID D. SCHEIN* LAWRENCE J. TRAUTMAN** The World Wide Web (“WWW”) is a dominant force in the lives of many. It provides access to a range of services and information from email access to shopping to social media to instant information on search engines like Google. For most persons using the WWW, this is all there is to the Internet and in fact, perhaps many could do with a great deal less contact through Facebook and other social media. However, there is more to the Internet than the WWW. Some sources suggest that the non-WWW part of the Internet may be even larger than the WWW part. “The Dark Web” is the term used most often for the remainder of the Internet. The Dark Web provides a source for many contraband or illegal items, including weapons, drugs, pedophilia, ransomware, stolen identities, and tools for terrorism. The reason for the growth of The Dark Web has been the possibility to use this avenue anonymously, unlike the WWW. The coin of this realm is the Bitcoin, the untraceable virtual currency. For employers, allowing employees access to The Dark Web using computers and laptops, or even mobile phones, provided by the employer is a growing source of liability. This article explores the growing legal risks for employers.
