Discovered and Tested out some new engines. The main catch of the day is the Bielefeld BASE search engine. Very nice, very deep.  Behind that I’ve stumbled onto the CiteSeerx for computational science. Useful for a infomation academic searches, like searching out for ‘string matching’ such as Jaro Winkler and Levenstein distance metrics.

 

Bielefeld Academic Search Engine – www.base-search.net – BASE is one of the world’s most voluminous search engines especially for academic open access web resources. BASE is operated by Bielefeld University Library. Pulls from over 2,200 sources, mainly Universities. (see source list )

CiteSeerx – http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/index  – Mainly focus on articles for computer and informational science

Refseek – http://www.refseek.com – Currently in Beta, it attempts to search academic, open source, newspaper, and web content for academic content. No where near as comprehensive or accurate in locating documentation as the Base search hosted by Bielefeld, but it has promise.

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

Searching for Academic Scholarship

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:

  1. Identify the type of collection that would have it
  2. Find the index search portal and search for your scholarship
  3. Download or request a copy via ILL or other appropriate means

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

Cyber War / InfoSec

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.
