Welcome to DarkData.Illinois.edu

The aim with Dark Data is to give researchers open and convenient access to data on the digital underworld, collected for the Open Secrecy project.

The website is hosted by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Its original development was funded by the National Science Foundation (#1702919) and Boston College.

Dark Data currently hosts anonymized data from darknet drug markets, and their associated discussion forums (for more information, and links to the datasets, see below).

Data from the digital far right will be added in 2025.
