Dread Users Archive

Captured posts from users of Dread, the darknet forum, kept as a dataset for OSINT and threat-actor attribution research.

What's here

Saved forum posts organized by user. Each user folder holds their captured posts as static HTML, preserving the text, the subdread it was posted in, and the onion URL it came from. The current set centers on the user Beelzebub and the subs they were active in.

Why it exists

Forum posts are one of the few durable behavioral traces a pseudonymous actor leaves. Writing style, posting times, recurring topics, and cross-sub activity are the raw material of attribution work. Dread content also vanishes when the site goes down or a user is banned, so a local snapshot keeps it available for study.
