Comparison Of Dark Web Vs. Deep Web

The topic for the below mentioned project will be Dark Web vs Deep Web

I also need the project management file that was worked upon to create this file.

1. Develop a detailed Capstone Project Proposal and Plan using project management software (as listed in the Study Schedule) and the skills you have acquired from IT Project Management to develop a project plan with a Work Breakdown Structure(WBS), milestones and Gantt chart. These tools may help.

1. MicrosoftProject Pro (http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/project/);
2. Open source tools like GanttProject (http://www.ganttproject.biz/);
3. OpenProj(http://sourceforge.net/projects/openproj/)
4. OpenProject (https://www.openproject.org/about).
5. ProjectLibre (http://www.projectlibre.org/)

2. Begin using the 'project blog' as a tool beyond the weekly progrees reportsfor your chosen emerging technology topic:

1. The blog is a way to not only "think by writing" and make your notes but also store project files and links in a cloud-based service.

2. Consider sharing the site with your peers as a way to tell a story and harness each others knowledge.

3. The blog is ideally updated each weekwith 3 or 4 entries for documenting your project notes and as the foundation for editing and writing the Capstone Project Report. An ideal blog entry will have around 50-150 words (150-600 words a week).
 

4. Group Work OPTION for Assessment Items(Not recommended for Online Study mode students): The Group Capstone Project Proposal and Plan is submitted by the team of three (3 maximum group size) for a group mark on a project proposal and plan that clearly indicates the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), Role and Responsibilities of EACH member to carry an equal share of the load in the project work.

This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:

• be able to interpret and evaluate an overview of recent trends in emerging technologies and innovation.
• be able to apply project management and information and communication technologies (ICT) tools to plan, execute, record and present their research and project work as a capstone experience.

The Capstone Topic Project Plan allows for a broad range of project areas like systems administration, database systems, IT security, mobile technology etc. Often the project has a sponsor and is linked to your interest or workplace needs. The proposal has a research component (Assessment Item 3 Annotated Bibliography) so in some cases you may need to find a supervisor willing to accept you as a candidate.

The Learning Outcomes being assessed in this item include how you interpret and evaluate an overview of recent trends in emerging technologies and innovation and begin to to plan, execute, record and present your research and project work as a capstone experience.

Your Capstone Project Proposal and Plan will be evaluated with a series of questions that you can use as a Checklist:

• Is the capstone topic area appropriate?
• Has the Project Blog been setup?
• Has there been sufficient justification of the choice of the topic?
• Is there enough scope for a sufficiently deep/complex analysis?
• Is the scope appropriate for what might be reasonably expected in the capstone project subject?
• Is the methodology proposed clear?
• Are the deliverables clearly set out?
• Are the deliverables sufficiently complex to justify a pass in this activity?
• Is it likely that the proposed activities can be reasonably carried out?
• Is it likely that the student will have access to the necessary resources to do a satisfactory job?
• Is the time line proposed realistic?

The dark web and deep web are relatively deployed for supporting the restriction/management of the information access over the internet cloud (Ehney & Shorter, 2016). The project would involve the comparison of the dark web and deep web concept. Many people get confused with the terms and consider them as same thing. However, the dark web and deep web have different aspects. The problem domain of the study lies on the fact of understanding and developing sort of consideration using the various literature available on the topic.

The main purpose of project is to develop an understanding of the effective formation processing for limiting the internet access for the users. The analysis would provide the readers with the understanding of the operations defining the implementation of the factors aligning the comparison of the dark web and deep web (Gehl, 2016). The deep web and dark web forms the limitation of the functions forming the alignment of the operations defining the implication of the factors taking care of the successful integration management. The websites and their information would be limited for the formation of the activities.

The dark web is the term aligned to the limitation of the activities forming the influential development of the activities. The dark web would be performed for easing the utilization of the factors forming the implication of the improved development process (Lacey & Salmon, 2015). The dark web limits a small portion of deep web for making it limited and inaccessible for the users using standard browsers. The deep web is a term that can be given to anything that cannot be accessed using the search engine. The hotwire searches are the most common example for deep web.

The following are the research questions that the study would address,

• Are dark web and deep web same thing?
• What is the difference between dark web and deep web?

The study would be based on the process of developing the utilization of the factors defining the development of the improved functional and effective formation of the operations. The various study materials from the various articles and books would be scrutinized for developing the understanding of the final project deliverable. The framework would be effectively formed for easing the development of the understanding the fact that dark web is a small portion of deep web and should not be mixed with the main concept. The qualitative research has been carried on for ensuring that the general analysis would be effectively formed on the topic of dark web vs. deep web. The framework analysis would be effectively helpful for evaluating the concept of the dark web and deep web functions and properties. The framework would be effectively evaluated for developing the alignment of the improved and developed functional alignment.

Research Questions

The system framework analysis would be effectively helpful for evaluating the concept of the dark web and deep web functions and properties. The various study materials from the various articles and books would be scrutinized for developing the understanding of the final project deliverable. The framework would be effectively formed for easing the development of the understanding the fact that dark web is a small portion of deep web and should not be mixed with the main concept. Secondary research methods would be useful for the supplementary management of the factors aligning the useful evaluation of the factors defining the smart information gathering. The qualitative research has been carried on for ensuring that the general analysis would be effectively formed on the topic of dark web vs. deep web.

The study of the above system design would allow the understanding of the dark and deep web functionality. The deployment of the VPN based analysis would be helpful for ensuring that the effective and smart alignment would allow the utilization of the operations. The dark web is the term aligned to the limitation of the activities forming the influential development of the activities. The dark web would be performed for easing the utilization of the factors forming the implication of the improved development process. The dark web limits a small portion of deep web for making it limited and inaccessible for the users using standard browsers. The deep web is a term that can be given to anything that cannot be accessed using the search engine. The hotwire searches are the most common example for deep web.                         

The ethical issues related to the dark web and deep web are,

1. Hiding information from the user so that the website cannot be accessed from standard browser
2. Limiting the accessibility as per the standards of the search engine
3. Supporting the probable misuse of the data by the person who would be able to access dark web data

The deliverables for the Research Project on Dark Web vs. Deep Web would include,

• Accumulated resources that would be required for the execution of the project activities
• Proper data required for collection and execution of the final summary development
• Final report aligning with the development of the effective and smart processing

The complete project plan would be divided into three work packages of research and development, data collection, and final report. Each of the work packages would involve some specific work activities such as

Research and Development: It is the first phase of the research project involving the initiation of the project activities and accumulating the resources required for the completion of the project activities. It would involve the activities of resource accumulation, literature review, research questionnaire, preparation of proposal, and further research studies.

Data Collection: It is the second phase of the research project involving the collection of the required data through various surveys and questionnaire filling required for the completion of the project activities. It would involve the activities of required information is sorted, surveys are executed, analysis of data is done, and summary is made.

Ethical Issues

Final Report: It is the last phase of the research project involving the completion of the project activities and developing the final report aligning for the completion of the project activities. It would involve the activities of all information is accumulated, final report structure is made, documentation of report, submission of the report, and sign off.
