So we’ve been looking for mega deep web engines tied into non-US technical papers. And we hit a beauty. It ties into Italian, Russian, Indian, Finish, Chinese and all kinds of others. Here is a snapshot of the databases it backs into.
It can be found at
You can search the Deep Web for many topics, but searching for academic scholarship has the fewest headaches. It is easier than other topics because there are so many colleges and universities who have dedicated staff and resources to indexing their collections. However, there is no central repository where all these indexes reside. So deep web is still the medium by which your target must be sought.
More than likely you will need to do a three tier approach to finding your target scholarship:
There are many ways to use the deep web. Both good, evil, and in between. The Google Hacking Diggity Project is all three.
In this case, a deep web tool-set was developed to aid penetration testers (white hat), hackers (black hat), and hobbyist (want a hat) to gather open source intelligence (OSInt) on potential targets to aid their hacking attempts.
The focus was to use Bing and Google to the max to dig out some kind-of-deep-web assets to the fore.

Lots of Video on the 3 sites about InfoSec and Cyber security. Because Video is Deep Web, I’ll include it in the search engine resource page
Iron Geek irongeek.com — An excellent library of videos explaining many facets of InfoSec and hacking & security
Security Tube – securitytube.net — A large library of videos covering many topics in InfoSec, cyberwar, and most of the hacking conferences.
DefCon — The main hackers Con, so well known that now the Feds send their folks here and it has become a wild west training ground for coming trends. Archives go back to Defcon 1. They are now on Defcon 20, I think.
Almost everyone who is anyone knows about the massive video catalog of YouTube. You can find almost anything there.
But YouTube represents the Shallow Web. Almost a 99.9% / 0.1% rule. Lots of low authority junk (99.9%) with a little bit of high quality stuff (0.1%).
Alto, YouTube is really good at hitting the SEO and getting first place in google. Therefore shallow web.
But what is a video site with high authority – university, military, and government lectures is videolectures.net. This site doesn’t do a very good job on their SEO and therefore it doesn’t show up in the first few pages of most search engines. As we all know, when your site is pushed way back in the list of returns, you become a kind-of-deep-web site. But this site is phenomenal for its content and should be known by serious researchers.
An excellent example is a lecture on OSInt (open source intelligence) by a European Commission staff member
