/u/samwhiskey takes work away from the Onion Links Int editor.😿

Actually, there is no news that would somehow change the course of trading events on Darknet right now. T2D is doing well by getting their MegaThread, while Bohemia is attracting users with the possibility of a free store opening on their site.

There have been no arrests yet and hopefully none are expected.

CryptoCops

The Australian Federal Police has launched a new unit specializing in tracking cryptocurrency transactions.

A new crypto-unit linked to criminal activity, operating as part of its Criminal Assets Confiscation Taskforce (CACT). The national manager of the CACT, Stefan Jerga, told the Australian Financial Review that the taskforce felt a standalone team was necessary to tackle the growing use of crypto by criminals. He said while the crypto gains seized were small compared to “traditional” criminal assets such as property and cash, the additional focus was able to provide great intelligence insights.

Cryptocurrency has recently been a significant focus for Australian lawmakers and enforcement agencies, earlier this year Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) released a guide on “preventing the criminal abuse of digital currencies.” Digital currency exchanges can use the lists of indicators in the guide to profile their customers.

Wrong place at the wrong time

The Austrian Provincial Police website recently published a report about the detention of a 25-year-old man at the train station in Braunau during carried out routine “identity checks”. Besides his identity, the officers did not forget to look in his backpack and found "a significant amount of synthetic drugs, pre-packaged in dark web drug packages".

After further attempts to resist, he managed to escape from the police station, though not for long. The cops managed to catch up with him and conducted an investigation, which revealed that the suspect was on his way to mail packages to drug buyers throughout Austria at the time of his arrest. Police also seized 124 grams of amphetamine and 64 grams of marijuana. The press-release also mentions the possibility of identification of various buyers in different cities in Austria.

Such incident could probably indicate poor physical fitness of the suspect, or that the Austrian police preferred the gym to the donuts. However, one can certainly argue that someone in Austria will be left without ordered staff and they should clear the house.

Cyber Criminal University

Nowadays hacking is not just a hobby, but also a serious business, requiring special training, trusted allies and technical resources, which can also lead to world fame or serious law suits.

/d/CafeDread

Today I noticed an interesting question on CafeDread if market admins richest Cyber criminals.

I will definitely tell you that this is not the case as it takes most markets days before they can generate a single sale. For every top market like Alpha Bay, T2D, Archetyp etc that you see around,
there are hundreds small markets that don’t generate a sale or only get a few sales.
The same thing can be said about hacker groups, for every big group you hear about, there’s 100s more that don’t make anything.

Another thing is the costs involved in running a successful are pretty high. Servers, hiring staff, maintenance cost a lot of money.

From a personal view, ransomware groups and fraudsters stand a higher chance being the richest Cyber criminals as the is no way to accurately measure income on the dark net.

So you have heard of them? You have gone through tons of dark net links and everyone is recommending you different links, everyone is ordering their dark net markets and you too ant to give it a shot.
Things are different when it comes to ordering stuff on the dark net as you have to merely rely on trust & honest from the vendor and also hope the market you used does not exist scam with your coin on it.

Secondly, you have to be warily of phisphing links that try to imitate the real market links so as to steal buyers funds.

Here is where I welcome you to d/Superlist! A collection of trusted current markets that have been operational for at least 6 months. You as well find links in the Superlist to the markets sub dreads to help you verify.

As much as the markets on the dread Superlist pass certain fundamental requirements before being listed, you should always exercise caution when shopping from a dark net market as it can exit anytime or market admins getting busted.

Access to kick their ass

KickAss is a professional security forum that specializes in hacking, carding, coding and more.

Hundreds of headlines about server hacking, anonymity, malware, password cracking, smartphone hacking and reverse engineering information are actively discussed and added straight away. It remains one of the most influential and wealthiest resources in the dark-web, with its own marketplace inside.

One of the aims of the forum foundation has become a counterparting to Russian hacker forums such as XSS, Exploit.in who have always been ahead of the game. It has gained a reputation among many hackers and threat intelligence agencies, and has also gained huge growth after the closure of some of the well-known UK hacker forums such as 0day & BackBox.

For hackers, KickAss forum is as respected as Alphabay for darknet marketplace administrators. Some have been successful in commercializing their participation, as trading dumps and leaks and providing insider information related to forex and other trading.

The forum also gained widespread publicity after hacker group TheDarkOverLord leaked «9/11» (Twin Towers tragedy) documents. In a thread on KickAss, then in since-removed posts on PasteBin and on Twitter, The DarkOverlord claimed it had stolen emails, retainer agreements, nondisclosure agreements, litigation strategies, liability analysis and other information that would embarrass high-profile insurers Lloyd’s of London and Hiscox Syndicates as well as Silverstein Properties, a New York real estate firm.

The mention of the forum in an overly publicized scandal put its existence at risk of investigation, caused the administrator to terminate the forum on their own. Before the closure, however, admin charged 700$ registration fees and many old members at Torum, called that an exitscam.

Now the dust has settled, so KickAss is back to activity. Old users are still able to access it using the same password. The forum has very strict rules to ensure security, prevent annoying journalists from registration and additional shadowing from prying eyes and to improve quality.

For starters, there's a paid registration fee of $450 (there's a discount on entry token now. You can gain access to the site for $250). On top of that your registration must be approved by the moderators. You should know and understand exactly what you are looking for there. An interesting fact is that users with zero activity are regularly banned, which means that you have to contribute in order to stay a member. As a result, KickAss is a very active community with high quality and specialized content.

Knock knock knocking on .onion doors

Approximately within the week Tor2Door marketplace page on Dread marking by the «DDOSED» red caption status.

Extended hacker attack has caused dissatisfaction among customers, forcing them to fill Dread with new posts asking for up-to-date links and to get the marketplace functioning correctly. In the first days of the attack, we found comments in the replies to requests that send users away to dnm.watch and etc. emergency mirrors link lists, but links from there are becoming useless within minutes.

The attack is sustained so intensively and for so long that it has resulted in complaints from vendors about auto-cancelled orders caused by the inability to log in. Such incidents have a negative impact on the reputation of the site's security service and lead to the migration of users to competitor’s marketplaces. One possible solution to connect for customers and sellers is to be capable of using i2p protocols. Based on the Dread community’s posts, connectivity to i2p link are more stable.

Also, a couple of hours ago the tor2door sub-dread’s moderators made a pinned post riding on links which systematically refreshes up-to-date links. Yesterday's flight using them for a detailed review of this situation lasted for an hour and then became unavailable again. Today's attempts to knock on new tor2doors were unsuccessful. It seems the administration has not yet managed to cope with such a high demand for their .onions, the flow of requests for new domains continues to rise.

Still keeping a close eye on the situation, perhaps the market can find an interesting way out of this prolonged confrontation with hackers. Tell us about your trials of entering the market in the comments, maybe you are having a better experience regarding access.

Blessed Tails

PGP proficiency is certainly a good thing. But it's not enough. The basic knowledge of where to start researching in the Darknet at all is with a proper and configured OS.

Whether you are a researcher, a journalist in a country with absolute censorship, or a petty drug trafficker, one way or another you will have to deal with working with an anonymous operating system. And the world can't think of a better way to get started than with Tails.

This publication is more about rank-and-file users because Tails:

1) Easy to install
2) Intuitive, until you start working within the distribution
3) Has basic darknet user software (Pidgin, Eletrum, TOR, KeePassX)
4) Passing traffic through TOR

But I'm going to be too stingy with the description, because if I do use Tails, it's just at the "use TOR and find the right site" level. And better than me /u/nasyer will do it with a voluminous article 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝑻𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒔 ---------> 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑭𝑨𝑸

All the advantages and disadvantages of Tails, its signature tricks, features and related guides are gathered in one place. So far, this is the best thing I've seen on Dread about Tails.

Fentanyl - no peaceful solution

Synthetic opiates have become the scourge of the 21st century drug trade. A substance that is 1,000, 1,000,000 times more potent than heroin is the most lucrative investment. Just imagine - a drug that has such a high concentration of the active ingredient in any given production would be the most highly profitable stoff on any site. But high profits are followed by high mortality. And these overdoses are more concerning.

I have 2 personal observations throughout my time researching Darknet.

1) I have only witnessed 1 time the fact of fentanyl being offered on the open market. It was one of the scam sites that didn't avoid selling CP either, which I think is the nastiest fact.
2) Fentanyl is unpopular in Russia and CIS. Possibly due to lack of ability to import from abroad, possibly due to the greater popularity of methadone.

So I am always happy for any initiative that can help darguzers of opiates, and not only them, to avoid accidental overdose.

Societal Activities, a non-profit programme, is precisely set up to help people avoid deadly surprises and provides free test strips to test substances for the presence of fentanyl. Their website is www.societalactivities.org and you can read all the conditions of receipt there.

Take care.

Eternal memory to alpha01

Hey, dudes. Today I noticed as many as 2 posts on Dread about AlphaBay being the best marketplace out there.

I will definitely not tell you that this is direct market manipulation. Believe me, AlphaBay in its current form has a lot to be proud of. This marketplace is built on a great legacy, it is an eternal reminder to LE that the drug trade will never be defeated. AlphaBay is the quintessential antagonist of the war on drugs.

The kind of technology the marketplace is using now, the fact that it is operating at maximum online speaks only in its favour. And its creator, DeSnake, as harsh as he is about current events in the Darknet, is a very talented and charismatic dude. He's the first administrator since Ross Ulbrich who writes VERY much and tries to describe every detail of his creation in a way that makes you curious about AlphaBay and its history.

Naturally, the case cannot do without criticism. According to one seller (if he didn't lie to me) AlphaBay has a very awkward seller's interface with dozens of transitions. And I, as a user, find it very inconvenient to separately navigate to the forum and re-register there in order to gain access.

Forced PGP is not userfriendly to you? And it can be criticised, but sorry, such are the current realities, as is payment in Monero. Your security should take precedence over convenience. And market leaders must do everything to make sure that this point of view is finally at the top of every user's mind.

Rest in peace, Alexander Cazes. We are still on guard.

Hello, netizens! We're back in touch again.

Another quiet weekday in the Darknet. And my attention has been drawn to a few publications on Dread:

🇮 🇮 🇮 🇮 Happy Independence Day!!!

"If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on."

Just want to rejoice for the Indian "colleagues" who are having an important holiday. :) And who presented this publication.

Don't lie to me - Critical Thinking 1 - Types of scams in DNM

Not complete, but useful overview on how to navigate Darknet deals. Tips on the subject are general, but never cease to be relevant. My own advice on exit-scam triggers - long marketplace maintenance without notification at least once a day on the status of work often means that your balance is about to be empty.

Do not donate to charity within TOR other than to the TOR Project itself or to those services you use daily and are confident in their integrity. Only do all transactions via escrow, no matter how well known that seller may be. Avoid direct transactions, especially on Telegram (but be sure to read this channel).

Protect your neighbour - [5,000 Subscribers Milestone and How to Apply to be a Professional Drug Checker Harm Reduction Programme]

By far the most comprehensive programme to protect consumers from dangerous drugs. DeSnake has decided, judging by its scale, to save the whole world from substandard drugs. :) And every tester is offered the best conditions: free test reagents and modest rewards for reporting on the reviewed substances.

Of course, that doesn't sound much like Hydra Test. But at the same time, user evaluations, in my opinion, would be the most objective than a centralised test from the "corrupt" market, which made money on fines for substandard drugs.

That's all for now. Take care.

As I see the current events in Darknet do not leave much to be desired.

Top 5 markets on tor.fish Archetyp and Bohemia are still more unstable than all the others.

Along with that, it is impossible to go to Libre forum, The Hub does not have more than 20 people online.

I noted that the bulk of the activity for comments on the ongoing work of the marketplace is mainly on Reddit and the sites of some other Darknet media outlets. However, nothing but a flood of floods could not be found.

Dude, 

So you have been wondering about how to keep track of your mischievous activities on the dark web or the source of that bitcoin you just received in your wallet or wanted to know if your bitcoin is going to be flagged for fraudulent transactions?

got you. 

Although the name sounds unsavory, this tool is actually one of the most advanced blockchain analytics tools. The tool scrapes data from other websites and databases, normalizes the data, applies a big query-like implementation and a model trained to spot patterns. 

Antinalysis works by checking whether or not a Bitcoin address is connected to criminal activity and permits you to trace the funds. For privacy reasons, your address check results are stored for 72 hours and the wiped from their databases. It has a total of 11 categories used to identify the addresses.

The first version of Antinalysis allegedly allowed people to check the proceeds of crimes, but its service provider terminated access after it came under scrutiny. Elliptic also confirmed that the AML Bot reported Antinalysis users to law enforcement.

The service has undergone several updates in the past few months, but the most important change is that it is not illegal. The company has added an anti-money-laundering specialist to its staff, and is no longer relying on a third-party to label transactions. Furthermore, it no longer relies on address labelling to determine who is behind the transactions. So, Antinalysis is a great way to keep track of suspicious activity on the Dark web

Did Majestic Bank exit scam?

This week has been eventful on the dark net scene with some sad events coming in about Majestic Bank exiting with some dread users wondering if it is an exit scam. Majestic Bank had all posts on it’s sub dread deleted and all comments deleted too.

Dread admin Paris warned dread users to desist from using majestic bank as there was little explanation for actions by the admin aside from cleaning house and exit scam.
So far there hasn’t been any official communication from the admin of Majestic Bank about the recent changes despite adding a new moderator was added to the sub dread.

If indeed this comes off as exit scam by Majestic bank, it will leave the dark net scene with a few credible exchanges having seen Elude bite the dust too recently. Currently, the majestic Bank site is still active.

Are coins from mixers safe to transfer to a centralized exchange?

So you got your Monero, sent it to a dark net exchanger to convert it to BTC and sent it to your centralized exchange say Binance, CoinBase etc so you can cash it out and to the shock of your life, your account just gets suspended without a warning.

That is exactly happened to dread user /u/MuffinMan who used Infinity’s exchanger to trade 3 XMR to BTC and sent it to his CoinBase account and his account got suspended and the CoinBase support didn’t respond to any of his queries but instead sent him an email letting him know he was banned.

Most of dread users came out in defense of Infinity Project with Dread administrator HugBunter coming out to offer /u/MuffinMan lessons on how mixers work.

Like a fish to dark water

Finding reliable and up-to-date links from active and validated resources is a frequent request among those who want to participate in the dark-web and to prospective buyers. For those who consider themselves a nimble fish in dark waters it's not a secret that link lists sites are not always updated in time and on some of them you can still find links to far-abandoned or busted markets and projects as well as .onion v2 URLs.

Tor.fish is one prime example of a catalogue that promises its users to publish only resources that are verified and authorized by them, preventing phishers from trying to get our money. If a resource is suspected of trying to scam or exit-scam, it will be withdrawn from the list as quickly as possible.

One of the objectives of directory's creators is to provide a platform to a diverse selection of trusted markets to help ensure healthy competition and stop a small number of large markets dominating the scene. The selection of accessible sites offered is wider than on the similar darkdotfail. Tor.fish publishes brief description of the service, list of accepted cryptocurrencies and available links, including i2p and mirror-rotators. Also platform doesn't sidestep from vendors with their own-hosted sites and instant exchange services. The option to publish an animated clickable advertisement button is inclusion as well.

In summary the directory can become an excellent solution for those who have recently launched a dark-web service or an anonymous forum and are looking to achieve a trustworthy reputation, attract regular users and entice new customers.

“Hey Dude, Clean house!!!” – HugBunter

The popular opiod vendor “OpiateConnect369” has been arrested according to a post from Dread administrator HugBunter.

According to the information received from a trust source, OpiateConnect has been busted although the news hasn’t broken yet and all buyers are advised to clean house as his market accounts nay have been compromised by law enforcement. This comes after his 2FA had been disabled on Dread and HugBunter went ahead to confirm that he had now locked his account and sub dread for the community’s safety.

According to his recon profile, OpiateConnect369 has 5000+ completed orders with boosting a 5-star rating to show his good quality products and reliable shipping.

So many theories have come up surrounding OC’s bust as one dread user pointed out that OC’s bust may have been due to his recent scuffle with Hellcat. Hellcat was the creator OC’s onion shops and he would wait for big deals on the onion shops to go through and the swap out addresses and rip customers’ money. When OpiateConnect got to realize that Hellcat was stealing from his customer, he booted him and Dread admin going as far as banning Hellcat's sub dread banned.

The betrayal by Hellcat forced OC to announce on dread that he was opening a public option for direct deals as he was tired watching his customers lose funds.

OpiateConnect369 was a dealer-to-dealer and a lot of vendors were purchasing from him and if at all OC’s arrest is true, it’s going to cause a lot of chaos. So be warned dude and throw away your receipts.

DeSnake also confirmed in a dread comment that he had banned OC’s account on AlphaBay although he had Monero in it. He also assured customers who had orders with OpiateConnect and were still in escrow or disputes that they would be refunded.

Until now, there has been no information about OC’s arrest besides HugBunter’s post on dread. Besides, HugBunter has previously known about arrests before law enforcements published an announcement and this is likely to be true.

Issues and problems - mandatory PGP

Darknet 2 years ago and the Darknet we see has changed radically. And these changes are directly related to the mandatory use of PGP on marketplaces. In my last post I talked about how it's a very inconvenient feature, especially for first-time buyers of drugs online.

I quote from a seller on Dread:

A buyer makes an order, the marketplace does not allow unencrypted messages or shipping info. When I try to decrypt his missage, it is not encrypted with my key, it is encrypted with HIS key. I know because i have his public key and he did not hide recipients.

I try to explain this to him, i get a few messages, none of which are decryptable (one was encrypted with a password, which i didn't have).

Common mistake when first using PGP in general. Solves it by reading the guide, which is provided on /d/OPSEC. Didn't find it there? Just google "Kleopatra guide".

The name and e-mail address on his key look real (first and last name, e-mail address is from one of the major e-mail providers. I assume that the name and e-mail are fake. Eventually he figures out how to use PGP and successfully encrypts his shipping info with my public key.

Turns out the first and last name he uses for his PGP name is his real name. I assume the e-mail is real as well, hopefully I'm wrong. Because it's hisdnmusername@majorprovider.com

This is a very silly idea. Friends, PGP is not an absolute anonymity tool. If you encrypt your messages via PGP, specify a fake (not disposable!) email, it must be accessible.

I have never seen opsec this bad. I cancelled his order and told him not to use dark net markets until he has learned how to use PGP. I told him that putting your real name in your PGP info is one of the quickest ways to get caught by LE.

I remember reading some posts a while back about LE pretending to be beginner buyers so vendors get frustrated and loosen up their opsec, maybe this could be one of those cases. Either that or he's really stupid.

This is the first time I have heard of this "looseness of attention" from LE. And those fears are not unfounded. Imagine the worst-case scenario, and you must always imagine it, that the market would be hacked by law-enforcement agencies. And then they will start examining all internal correspondence, and any that is unencrypted becomes compromised by default.

However, this does not mean that the seller should be snide and write that he is "stupid". Although it does not rule out that this is not the first or second time a seller has been written in this way, without encryption at all.

The conclusion of this is: learn how to use PGP encryption everywhere, this basic skill is never a waste.

Be careful, dude!

Strange things are happening with Cocorico Market. I'm guessing that at most a couple of people in our channel may have used it at some point to buy stuff.

The most important thing to take away from this news is how well the user notification mechanism works on Dread. It's good to see that the forum team tries to respond as quickly as possible to complaints and disable admin and moderator accounts, proactively addressing the possible arrest of the creators.

Yo, dudes, thought we got arrested? Hell no, we're writing content all over again!

The hot events of the Russian Darknet have kept us busy, but in all this time we've gained enough experience in the market wars to write a whole book. :) However, now we're back on track, and the first thing we want to start with is a news story that's been heavily discussed on Dread.

Never forget that - But What is Metadata?

A classy post for those unfamiliar with the concept of 'metadata' and why it's so important to remove it from everything, especially photos. First and foremost from images! And be sure to watch out for it yourself, even if the marketplace assures you that it removes exif data from the photo when you upload it.

Welcome back! - https://dnm.watch is back online

The newly developed DNM Watch catalogue went into hibernation, but it's working again. I won't be biased, but I think the creator of the directory is Infinity Exchanger service and, of course, the Tor2Door marketplace itself, which is represented in the list of onion sites. We'll see how the directory develops further and in what direction, but I think it is wrong to create a "directory" for the sake of one marketplace link.

How will vendors be caught? - Law Enforcement Agencies research "Dark Web Marketplace Vendor Forensics"

Extensive report on a new development to track down dealers. The tools used for data analysis - handwriting "fingerprinting", analysis of photos taken by the vendor and the branded "pitch" of the product with a description does not give a chance to hide from LE's eyes - cannot fail to surprise. But I have a question - if the vendor already acts under the same brand name, does it make sense to identify it in the Darknet? Shouldn't we then search in parallel with clearnet, looking for a similar style of writing (and yes, I know this method is already used by LE). Although... Search for yourself, I'm not going to tell you!

And that's the end of the news. Have a nice day!
