DarkBERT

                                      

DarkBERT is the first AI language model designed specifically for the Dark Web. A language model is an AI system that understands human language and has a lot of knowledge, which helps it solve many tasks related to language. DarkBERT is especially good at working with the messy and hard-to-understand data found on the Dark Web. Unlike other language models that have trouble with the strange words and different formats on the Dark Web, DarkBERT has been trained to understand this type of content. It improves its skills by using a method called Masked Language Modeling (MLM) on text collected from the Dark Web, using a version of the RoBERTa model.

One big challenge in training DarkBERT is gathering the right data. The company S2W is well-known for its ability to collect and analyze data from the Dark Web, even including hidden or copied websites. After cleaning up the data and removing duplicates, they built a large and useful collection of Dark Web text, totaling 5.83GB.

DarkBERT was built using large existing language models and then trained further with special data from the Dark Web. It is very good at working with unorganized data that is often found on the anonymous web, where it's hard to extract useful information. DarkBERT can also help detect and classify different types of criminal activity on the Dark Web and find important threat information

AI tools on the dark web

  As AI continues to develop, its role in cybercrime on the dark web will only increase. The ability of cybercriminals to experiment with AI-powered tools is a new frontier in the ongoing war between hackers and cybersecurity experts. The Dark Web is quickly becoming a testing ground for new AI-powered attacks. The bad actors can customize their methods and expand their scope of their crimes. 1. FraudGPT – When AI is the worst spammer FraudGPT is a tool that sends fake emails. Create a fraudulent website And it spreads malware like a 24/7 scam operation. It's so clever it can trick you into handing over sensitive information to hackers—just like your grandma's bank details! If installed correctly, it does not require too much energy to operate. 2. Angler AI – A fishing tool that personalizes your attacks. Angler AI is a secret tool. That changes perspective depending on how you respond. It's like a telemarketer who knows everything about you and can even pretend to be y...

Pakistani Hacker Groups Tried to Breach India and Failed

Seven Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups associated with Pakistan attempted to infiltrate Indian infrastructure, resulting in a staggering 99.99% failure rate despite launching over 1.5 million cyberattacks. Identified by Maharashtra Cyber, these groups employed various tactics including malware, DDoS attacks, GPS spoofing, and misinformation campaigns, with only 150 attacks achieving success and causing negligible disruption. 1.         APT36 (Transparent Tribe): Known for cyber espionage since 2013, it targets Indian defense and government sectors using CrimsonRAT malware via spear-phishing. 2.        Pakistan Cyber Force: Claimed breaches of Military Engineering Services and Manohar Parrikar Institute, and defaced Armoured Vehicle Nigam Limited’s website with Pakistan’s flag. 3.        Team Insane PK: Targeted Indian Army websites, like the Army College of Nursing, with provocative messaging. ...
