论文摘要
我们分析了darkweb,发现其结构是不寻常的。例如,$ \ sim 87 \%的darkweb站点\ emph {never}链接到另一个站点。因此,将Darkweb称为“网络”是一个错误的名称 - 更好地描述为一组很大程度上孤立的黑孤岛。正如我们通过与万维网(www)的详细比较所展示的那样,这种孤立的结构与其他社交网络高度不同,并表明DarkWeb用户的社交行为与www用户的社交行为有很大不同。我们显示了广义优先依恋模型可以部分解释DarkWeb的奇怪拓扑,但是对用户的异常行为的理解仍然遥不可及。我们的结果与网络科学家,社会科学家和其他对大量代理商社会互动感兴趣的研究人员有关。
We analyse the darkweb and find its structure is unusual. For example, $ \sim 87 \%$ of darkweb sites \emph{never} link to another site. To call the darkweb a "web" is thus a misnomer -- it's better described as a set of largely isolated dark silos. As we show through a detailed comparison to the World Wide Web (www), this siloed structure is highly dissimilar to other social networks and indicates the social behavior of darkweb users is much different to that of www users. We show a generalized preferential attachment model can partially explain the strange topology of the darkweb, but an understanding of the anomalous behavior of its users remains out of reach. Our results are relevant to network scientists, social scientists, and other researchers interested in the social interactions of large numbers of agents.
