Islamic militant organizations, such as Al Quaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc., have been intensively utilizing the Internet to disseminate their anti-Western, anti-Israel propaganda, provide training materials to their supporters, plan their operations, and raise funds by selling goods through their Web sites; limit our experiential understanding of their Internet usage. To address this research gap, we explore an integrated approach for identifying and collecting terrorist/extremist Web contents and to discover hidden relationships among communities. It has been shown in the literature that content analysis gives more insight of technical sophistication, content richness; whereas the link analysis focuses on the web interactivity. We introduced a quantitative Dark Web content analysis tool called the Dark Web Attribute System (DWAS) and tested it by applying the DWAS in the study of the extremist organizations¡¯ Internet usage. This present work focuses on identifying & analyzing new web page attributes. It is aimed to compare different terrorist/extremist sites with genuine sites and accordingly prepare metrics which can be further used for identification of other sites of terrorist/extremist groups.
