Derek Doran (advisor)\, Michael Raymer\, Krishnaprasad Thirunarayan\, and Amir Zadeh (Department of Information Sy stems & Supply Chain Management)ABSTRACT:Tor is the most popular dark netw ork in the world. Its noble uses\, including as a platform for free speech and information dissemination under the guise of true anonymity\, make it an important socio-technical system in society. Although activities in so cio-technical systems are driven by both structure and information\, past studies on evaluating Tor investigate its structure or information exclusi vely and narrowly\, which inherently limits our understanding of Tor. This dissertation bridges this gap by contributing insights into the logical s tructure of Tor\, the types of information the service hosts\, and the int erplay between structure and content. These insights arise from three stud ies:First\, we perform a comprehensive crawl of the Tor dark Web and\, thr ough topic and network analysis\, characterize the types of information an d services hosted across a broad swath of Tor domains and their hyperlink relational structure. We recover nine domain types defined by the informat ion they host and\, among other findings\, unveil how marketplaces of ille gal drugs and services do emerge as the dominant type of Tor domain. We al so present measurements that indicate how some types of domains intentiona lly silo themselves from the rest of Tor. Second\, we study the potential for thought-to-be isolated information on the dark Web to be leaked into t he public surface Web by providing a broad evaluation on the network of re ferencing from Tor to surface Web. Results recover the dark-to-surface net work as a single massive connected component where over 90% of Tor hidden services have at least one link to the surface world despite their interes t in being isolated from surface Web tracking. To further investigate the interplay between the structure and information of Tor\, we propose to stu dy the structural identity of Tor domains as a potential future extension of this study.
