Measuring the Longitudinal Evolution of the Online Anonymous Marketplace Ecosystem: Anonymized datasets (2011-11-22 to 2015-02-16)

Anonymized data for the paper Measuring the Longitudinal Evolution of the Online Anonymous Marketplace Ecosystem (Soska and Christin, 2015). Developed in-house web scrapers to collect data about marketplaces; subsequently fed into a parser, and eventually, an analysis engine, that produced this data. Contains data from various anonymous online "darknet" marketplace forums over 2011-2015. The archive is a SQLite database, compressed in BZIP2 format.
