Hacker forums provide clues to possible attack techniques, attack preperations against clients or leacked data. Kaduu enables you to explore and monitor hacker forums, allowing our clients to gain a better understanding of the tools and techniques used by hackers and the areas that are most likely to come under attack.

Hacker forums can be a source of a wide range of data from organizations, including:

• Personal information: Hacker forums may contain personal information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of individuals.
• Login credentials: Hacker forums may contain login credentials, such as username and password combinations, that have been obtained through data breaches or phishing attacks.
• Financial information: Hacker forums may contain financial information, such as credit card numbers and bank account numbers, that have been obtained through data breaches or other illegal activities.
• Intellectual property: Hacker forums may contain stolen intellectual property, such as software source code or proprietary business information, that has been obtained through data breaches or other illegal activities.
• Network information: Hacker forums may contain information about network vulnerabilities, such as open ports and misconfigured servers, that can be exploited by attackers.

In this deep-web search, we log in to +50 known hacker forums with various accounts and submit the keyword that is entered in the search mask of Kaduu. For example, you can enter your company name or a brand to see if people are talking about it in the forums. If there are results for the search term, we show them in a link as a download. The corresponding pages are saved as a screenshot and also as a web page. We focus on the most popular forums in English, German, French and Russian language.

Lets say your company name is "Bank24 LdT" and your domains are "bank24.com and bank24.us". We recommend that you use a more generic search approach. The recommended query in the abive example would be "bank24" without the domain or legal specification.

If we find any result related to your search keyword, you can download the screenshot and html file in an archive.

Yes - you can press the delete button and the scan will be stopped and removed.

A search can take up to 30 minutes. Please be patient. We also only allow maximum 5 searches per client per day and maximum 20 per month because otherwise our authenticated accounts will get flagged.

Hacker forums are not professional websites in terms of stability, accessibility and functionality. So it happens again and again that they are temporarily offline. Sometimes they disappear completely and then reappear under a new domain. All hacker forums that have relevant data have in common that you have to log in with a user, solve a captcha and also very often have to pass an anti-bot check (Cloudflare). These components change frequently (e.g. the type of captcha) and thus automated scripts that are tuned to a forum quickly get problems when such a change takes place. But also changes to the HTML code within the forum can lead to errors if our tools are programmed to search for data in very specific areas of the forums. Another problem is that hacker forums do not tolerate automated bots like ours. So if a forum detects our activity, they will block our account or IP address. In summary, the technology will never be 100% reliable, there will always be changes and errors in individual forums. If there are several hundred forums, these errors will naturally accumulate and in kaduu only the errors are displayed on the very first page, which gives the impression that many forums have errors. But this is not the case and we are working daily on the optimization of the crawlers.
