backup plans update and traderoute offline copy

backup plans update

some time ago we mods talked about backing up relevant data from this sub but I can not find the post at the moment. any way several mods have stored all the relevant config files and wiki pages of the main sub, noobs sub and superlist sub. so even if one of these subs should get banned and some mods become unavailable, there will be others who still have saved the data.

while it is unlikely that all the major dnm subs get banned at the same time [and we would then not have a sub to re-group], we also established a presence on voat.co. it took a while since I first needed to age my account and shit post a bit to get enough karma. at the moment the subverses we got control of are /v/DNM, /v/DNMNoobs and /v/DNMSuperlist. they are private for now since they also need to be filled with content but if the worst case happens [all major dnm subs get banned] they will be opened and we can re-group over there.

some mods also have reserved their reddit usernames on voat to ensure a clean transition if it should become necessary. I will post the signed messages of these users in the comments of this post.

unfortunately /v/DarkNetMarkets is disabled and /v/DarkNetMarketsNoobs is abandoned. while I made a subverse-request for the noobs sub and messaged the admin about /v/DarkNetMarkets, I have yet to receive a reply. so until you hear an update about this situation, the three subverses named at the beginning are the only official backup alternatives.

unfortunately voat lacks some features [e.g. no automod] so we would like to continue to use reddit as a primary platform. however this requires you to use the report button when you spot rule-violating posts. so please do the few clicks to report such posts.

other alternatives are also being worked on but they probably take a bit longer. also do not forget to store the pgp keys of the mods in case one can not access them at some point [e.g. sub gets banned] https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/wiki/pgp


traderoute offline copy

since tr is down for some time now I uploaded a copy of their forums here https://linx.li/selif/tr.tar.gz

it is from september 14, 2017 and is an almost complete crawl of their forum. I think the only thread that is missing is the introduction thread were everyone had to post a short message to be able to post on the whole forum [I did not scrape it because the data is barely relevant].

you can find an incomplete scrape of the market here https://linx.li/trmarket.tar.gz

it was made on september 19, 2017 and while there should be missing some pages it looked pretty extensive when I looked through it before uploading. so chances are that you will find the vendor page and products that you are looking for.

to view the backup without compromising your opsec you should download the file on a fresh tails usb stick [just burn the iso on an usb stick and boot ut, you do not need persistence] or in a vm. then open the Tor browser with security settings set to high and disconnect your computer or vm from the internet and other networks. after that simply drag / drop the index.html file into your Tor browser window and you can click through the forum pages. some functions are obviously not available like the search function, reporting posts, . . . but all the forum content is there. it is useful for users who for example want to find pgp keys or vendor contact methods.

however keep in mind to not rely on the data from the scrapes to be accurate. I did not try to be stealthy at any cost so it may be possible that whoever controlled the market at that point may have responded with manipulated data to my requests. it is unlikely but be smart and cross-check important information like pgp keys with other sources before using it.

before some people cry about law enforcement using that data too: they, along with researchers, already have extensive scrapes of markets and forums since they keep a close eye on them. so we would be the only people without that data.

[6 Points] FreshestNuts:

Let's pray this sub isn't banned :/


[6 Points] Soprobationgirl:

Wait so what the duck is going on? I honestly was gonna read the thread last night but I had a depressive episode and was gonna attempt suicide. Did TR get taken over by LE? Why are he DNM subs on Reddit being shut down? Did dream finally exit scam? Are mods corrupt?


[1 Points] None:

Umm. You said viat.co in the post. Don’t you mean voat.co?


[1 Points] None:

Uncle Sam is displeased.


[1 Points] DickCheeseKillah:

Hey /u/womabt2combat may I ask what tipped you off to post this ? Thanks for doing the leg work but is it your hunch that Feds are trying to do a complete black out of the DNM ?


[1 Points] abu7:

You are a genius!


[1 Points] glueunited:

Can a teasipper get a /r/DNMUK? Or are you guys separated? I love the community over there.

Cheers for the info


[1 Points] DareToHope:

If i recall correctly, Jay or MLP reserved /v/DarkNetMarkets. Maybe im wrong but I think we had this discussion before, long ago.


[1 Points] basjin:

is joining voat a smart idea?

if this sub gets closed i will join the next one beeing opened here.


[1 Points] shoplifta:

Amazing job. Thanks for doing this!


[1 Points] smokethedeathless:

Is my bitcoin that was on traderoute gone?


[1 Points] None:

[removed]


[1 Points] hydrodankA:

Great job. :)


[1 Points] coffeencreme:

voat.co/user/coffeencreme is me


[1 Points] DrinkMoreCodeMore:

I'm down to bring any of you mods from here over to /r/DarkWebMarkets if this main DNM sub gets banned. Just PM me and i'll add ya.


[1 Points] SirBandolero:

Anybody have the market source code? PK leaked it?


[1 Points] igotdatgudgud:

Care to share how the crawl was done? What tools? I havvle some sites I would like to use this method on.
