Web Search Tool Called Memex To Uncover The Dark NetDARPA or the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has developed a new web search tool called Memex which aims to surface what’s happening on the Dark Net. The designer of the Memex is DARPA developer Christopher White.

As per a late report delivered by ’60 Minutes,’ the Memex web search tool enables law  enforcement authorities to take out enormous amounts of information in order to chase down sex traffickers and capture criminal groups.

The Memex operates in a way that the generally accessible data on the Internet is brushed into a database. The current rendition of the search engine empowers authorities to scout through online sex advertisements, which produce $500,000 daily for criminal groups. The cash is used by wrongdoers for subsidizing other criminal activities such as drug trafficking.

Now, law enforcement specialists can successfully track wrongdoing hot spots employing Memex due to the fact that the search tool checks online sex advertisements for information like telephone numbers, pictures, and area metadata from photographs.

In a presentation of the Memex during ‘60Minutes’White demonstrated how proficiently  the search engine could inspect the web for sex promos. About Memex’s plus value in spotting sex traffickers, White said:

“Sometimes it’s a function of IP address, but sometimes it’s a function of a phone number or address in the ad or the geolocation of a device that posted the ad. There are sometimes other artifacts that contribute to location.”

Memex is clearly a different ’breed’ of web search tool. The open source program lists Web content Google isn’t equipped to spot and delivers search items graphically to uncover shrouded connections among them.

Since the sex-trafficking customer is now ‘shopping’ mostly on the web, the push to uncover them  shows an information science challenge Memex , aiding officials and non-profit organizations to find their way through the tangled data and capture the wrongdoers.

Memex additionally gives specialists a better insight on an industry that works to a great extent in the shadows. By numerous assessments, standard web search tools like Google list only 10 percent of what’s really on the net.The rest are those pages that belong to the dark side.

But, the potential of the Dark Net could be extensive. Not just as feed for crime battling endeavors like the effort with Memex, but at the same time its source to most of the electronic data out there.

Stock experts may employ Memex to hunt down the Dark Web down for pertinent data related to stocks they cover, for instance. Wine specialists could use it to aid them find the most recent data in their area and so on.
