Forensic monitoring of darknet marketplaces – forensically documented monitoring of trading platforms on the darknet
Some darknet marketplaces offer illegal goods, services or stolen data for sale and may provide relevant information in the context of ongoing investigations or security inquiries.
We monitor relevant marketplaces in a structured and documented manner as part of existing cases, without actively participating in transactions ourselves.

Typical areas of application
This is how darknet marketplace monitoring works
Relevant marketplaces are systematically searched using established technical methods for listings relevant to the research question. The results are documented with a timestamp and, where available, the seller’s identification.
Why is monitoring darknet marketplaces relevant from a forensic perspective?
A documented observation can provide important clues as to the scale and structure of an illegal trafficking network.
The forensically traceable backup of such offers also forms an important basis for cooperation with law enforcement agencies.
