RT Article T1 Hidden platforms for cybercrime: experiences investigating darknet services JF Fieldwork experiences in criminology and security studies SP 535 OP 551 A1 Ball, Matthew 1983- A2 Broadhurst, Roderic G. LA English YR 2023 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/192008312X AB This chapter draws on the authors’ experiences investigating Tor onion service darknet markets and forums (i.e. darknet platforms). These experiences highlight the challenges of investigating ‘hidden’ populations in a universe where the scale, diversity, and locations of actors and services are unknown. Applying cross-disciplinary techniques adapted from the social and computer sciences, we investigate and describe these darknet platforms and draw trends and key observations about these hidden online subcultures.
