Understanding the Darkweb and its CTI value for cybersecurity 

The Darkweb has been serving as a platform for cybercriminals to carry out their operations, while maintaining their anonymity. Understanding the properties of the Darkweb and its hosted platforms, such as marketplaces, vendor shops, and forums, can provide insight into cybercrime operations and actionable Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI). CTI can contribute toward gaining knowledge of the threat landscape and enhance preparedness , ultimately leading to more secure systems and the mitigation of potential attacks.
