Darknet & CryptoFundamental

Course overview

The darknet continues to play a significant role in criminal activity, illicit trade, and covert communication, presenting both challenges and opportunities for investigators.

The Fundamentals in Darknet Investigations Course provides a structured introduction to navigating, understanding, and investigating darknet environments. Moving beyond basic TOR usage, the course explores a range of platforms, tools, and ecosystems used by threat actors, including forums, marketplaces, and encrypted communication channels.

Delivered over 2 intensive days, this course combines theoretical understanding with practical, hands-on investigation, culminating in a Capture the Flag (CTF) exercise designed to test and reinforce learning in a realistic scenario.
