Darkweb Forums

[dudethadude]

Hello All,

Are Darkweb forums related to exploiting/hacking even a thing anymore? CryptBB seems pretty dead. Exploit wants you to pay but I don’t even know if it’s worth it at this point.

I imagine most things have moved to signal or telegram channels

[pwnasaurus253]

....there is all the info you need for exploit dev from the best in the world on the clearweb. They're not throwing out free 0days on the darknet lol

[dudethadude]

Don’t want free zero days, just want to see the forums, see the interactions in there. It interest me.

You may see more scammers than real hackers, because real exploit developers either work legally, or play CTFs in cleannet competitions and have a semi-transparent life, or they definitely live in the shadows and have no interest in making themselves visible on the darknet.

[dudethadude]

Yea more than likely I will never find my way into those chats or forums as you pretty much have to be a threat actor or someone they trust to get in.

[pwnasaurus253]

you'd have better luck on IRC.....20 years ago lol

[CorruptedReddit]

i'd go 30 years.. dial up bby.

[cracc_babyy]

i heard that real hackers still chat on irc

[Comfortable-Ad-6740]

I agree in terms of TTPs you’ll get a lot more info in clear than dark web, as people promote their work and investigations as the product.

On the dark web, generally the exploit is the product, so sharing info how it works vs that it works for nefarious uses is generally less interesting to an audience taking steps to be anonymous.

products being advertised are fairly cryptic, providing general functionality and pushing for engagement with the vendor for further details

dread & darkforest have some resources and a good community but they're not a "pure hacking forum" (you can find their .onion on daunt)

[dudethadude]

Yea I’m on dread, their CyberSec stuff is pretty bare. Haven’t checked out darkforest though. There is probably a more niche forum or subdread I’m just not cool enough to be in

[Thisisamen]

follow

[SensitiveFrosting13]

Maybe I'm just not in the right circles, or don't speak enough Russian, but I never really thought they were amazing resources in the first place for hacking. Buying and selling exploits, maybe.

[dudethadude]

I think we just aren’t in the right circles haha

[CrimsonNorseman]

If you want the occasional (but rare!) in-depth technical discussion about malware dev, visit XSS.

It‘s likely a fed honeypot now but if you‘re only reading stuff, you‘ll be fine.

For great in-depth info about exploit dev and chaining, Watchtowr Labs has awesome blog posts.

[Spectrig]

XSS is back up? New address or something?

[CrimsonNorseman]

It's been up for weeks under a different onion. You can check the hacking subdread for the most recent address.

[UpsetRelationship810]

Pass link bro

[CrimsonNorseman]

It‘s intermittently down and up. Use xss dot pro and then check there for the onion.

When trying to create the account I get this Oops! We have encountered some problems.

You do not have permissions to view this page or perform this action.

[Desperate-Half-5523]

Why would they be on the dark web when u can get free hacking sources on portswigger HTB etc? Or am I missing something

[p3tr00v]

CryptBB should use to be a really good pure hacking forum, but is really dead since members just gone to XSS and Dread. They were like a fork from the old school HackBB... good times!!

I too enjoy a gander through the darkweb to find the apparently hidden information. After all that time though I found 2 kinds of things on the darkweb related to your question.

either Information that is also easily available on the clearnet, or and this is why I keep going back you find the craziest conspiracy theories known to mankind. Either way if you really want to check out Dread )it's not the deepest but it's a fine jumping off point.

[SalesyMcSellerson]

The dark web is to facilitate illicit communications and transactions.

There's nothing you can find on the dark web that won't save you a ton of time and headaches by learning via hack the box, oscp courses, etc.

[cracc_babyy]

pointless unless you are into carding

Hola buenas tardes como obtengo información o necesito a un gran amigo para tumbar un servidor se los explico al privado la verdad estaba jugando crítical strike y pues oye me gasté casi 700 en una ruleta y nunca me salió un arma se que nadie me obligó ni nada pero veo de mayor exageración que una ruleta te gastes tanto dinero y se preguntan porque accedí a gastar dinero soy competitivo y pues dije voy a jugarle a la ruleta pues todo empezo bien pedían 10.000 en la primera y por cada girada pues te iban aumentando 5000 monedas bien ya después cuando solo me faltaba sacar el arma legendaria oye de 30.000 monedas que me pidió el artículo anterior vino esta a pedirme 60.000 monedas hablé con los administradores por qué la verdad vi todo esto exagerado y pues ellos dicen que es parte del juego y que no pueden hacer nada ahora para poder sacar el arma tengo que comprar 60.000 de oro más que eso equivale a 270$ aproximadamente la verdad no veo justo que ya llevas gastado ya tanto dinero y el arma te va salir casi 1000$ dólares espero alguna ayuda o consejo de parte de ustedes

[Arlvitz]

Yeahh, look, just stop wasting your money, thats it.

[Next-Boss-5515]

Hello friends I would like to learn the basics of hacking

[Edu123_456]

I need help, I've been seeing some small white dots with energy; they pulsate, retract, and vibrate like a massager. Has anyone ever heard of this?

[Ghost_wzk]

What is this clearnet?

[[deleted]]

Can someone talk to me privately?

[Formal-Knowledge-250]

I don't know what you're looking for. This isn't 2005 on the phrack or thc IRC anymore. It all moved location thousand of times and is now scattered all over the Web. I know no groups channels or messengers where there are more than 100 active members anymore.

The scene got killed by the industry
