Summary:
Dark, Deep and Political on the Internet

What are the Surface Web, Dark Web, and Darknet? Where do they fit in the big picture; how can they be accessed, … and what is deeper?

Our own Dr. Bill Curd will start with an overview of the Internet, especially the Darknet, how to access, search, and navigate there with some protections including the tor browser. Then he’ll share snippets from various places and some recent topics such as 2020 election integrity, origin of SARS-CoV-2, and the so-called Intellectual Dark Web.

Plus, Cybersecurity Certifications in the Marketplace

Bill will identify the hottest cybersecurity and related certifications and how job postings and salary correlate with holding them – and solicit your feedback on what certification or other training you’d be seriously interested in attending.

And, Some Downloads

Bill will email a download link for a few related documents to those emailing him a request for it.
