Monitors dark web forums, marketplaces, paste sites, and ransomware leak sites for mentions of organizational assets, leaked credentials, threatened attacks, and threat actor communications to provide early warning intelligence. Use when establishing dark web monitoring coverage, investigating specific data breach claims, or enriching incident investigations with dark web context. Activates for requests involving dark web OSINT, leak site monitoring, credential exposure, Recorded Future dark web, or Tor hidden service intelligence.

# Monitoring Dark Web Sources
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- Establishing continuous monitoring for organizational domain names, executive names, and product brands on dark web forums
- Investigating a reported data breach claim found on a ransomware leak site or paste site
- Enriching an incident investigation with context about stolen credentials or planned attacks
**Do not use** this skill without proper operational security measures — dark web browsing without isolation exposes analyst infrastructure to adversary counter-intelligence.
## Detection Gaps & Validation
- **Clearnet sources missed (the #1 gap):** most programs over-focus on .onion and skip Telegram channels, Discord servers, and paste sites (Pastebin, psbdmp) where much criminal activity actually lives. Cover clearnet explicitly.
- **Keyword brittleness:** monitoring only `company.com` misses obfuscated variants (`company[.]com`, `@company.com`, typosquats, internal codenames). Validate the watchlist catches deliberate evasions.
