Dear Astalavista.box.sk and Intelligence Community 2.0 Web Site Visitor,

This is Dancho Danchev (https://ddanchev.blogspot.com) where you might know me and my research circa 2005-2020 from my Clearnet personal blog an ex-hacker from Bulgaria during the inframous hacker spree circa the 90's today's leading expert in the field of cybercrime research and threat intelligence gathering currently running one of the security industry's leading security publications which has already receive 5.6M page views since December, 2005 when I originally launched it while I was busy working on https://astalavista.com as a Managing Director where I produced the following high-quality newsletter - https://packetstormsecurity.com/groups/astalavista.

The primary reason for taking to time an effort and work on this Dark Web Onion is to properly present one of the Dark Web largest and most popular cybercrime research and threat intelligence gathering including Intelligence Community 2.0 type of project to thousands of Dark Web users potentially communicating a vast portion of my research with a new set of folks who might be interested in digging deeper into the world of cybercrime and who's behind it including to actually land a career position as cybercrime researchers or U.S Intelligence Community intelligence analysts.

The project aims to provide in-depth and never-released before technical and personally identifiable information on some of the Web's primary and most important cybercriminals internationally including an in-depth overview of all the currency active U.K'S GCHQ and NSA cyber surveillance and cyber intelligence programs and how they can work better including how you can protect yourself from them including an in-depth discussion on various Intelligence Community 2.0 scenario building methodologies which could easily undermine the current state of the security industry including in-depth dossiers on some of the key individuals behind the U.S and international security industry with the idea to present a picture where Tailored Access and credibility operations can take place and possibly propose actual Tailored Access Operations including methods and techniques to protect yourself from such type of attacks.

01. Dear Dancho can you please introduce yourself?

I used to be a ZDNet Zero Day blogger for a period of four years including two highly-productive years while working as a Security Blogger for Webroot. I've been selected by the SCMagazine 2011 Social Media Awards as a finalist with my old Twitter account. I've presented at the Interpol. I've been also invited to present at U.K'S GCHQ including Canadian Intelligence Service's HQ including a Keynote presentation at CyberCamp 2016 including a presentation at RSA Europe and InfoSec Europe on current cybercrime trends and cyber jihad. I've also particited in a Top Secret U.K Government Program entitled "Lovely Horse" and I was practically running https://astalavista.com - The Underground throughout 2003-2006.

I'm currently one of the World's leading and most often cited and referenced cybercrime researcher security blogger and threat intelligence analyst with over a decade in fighting cybercrime and actively responding to current and emerging cybercrime threats.

I've recently launched a high-profile project on the infamous https://astalavista.box.sk including https://box.sk/wordpress and I'm currently working on my personal memoir from the 90's entitled "Cyber Conspiracy - Who Owns Them All".

02. How did you get involved in computers?

During that period of time in particular the 90's possessing a personal computer could be easily considered a privilege including the ability to get connected to the Internet which I joined at a later stage having spend a decent portion of several active years actively playing PC computer games. Long story short my folks bought me a personal computer for educational and entertainment purposes at the time which was basically an IBM clone known as Pravetz-16 which I was basically using to play games and learn new things.

Throughout the next 20 years I was a proud owner and actually possed a variety of personal computers which I was making sure to properly use and actually end up make a living and basically become a prominent figure in the Scene and the U.S Security Industry.

04. What about COCOM at this time?

During that period of time personal computers were sort of luxury and only a small number of companies and organizations really had access to them. I can clearly say that I was largely privileged to posses a personal computer at the time which I did my best to properly utilize and use for playing games doing research and learning new things.

05. Who got you connected online? Since when are you practically online?

It was in the 90's and it was a local person who was basically responsible and acting as a system adminsitrator for my ISP at the time. I've been practically online for over 20 years and I'm basically online 24/7 doing research and actually keeping in touch with friends and colleagues.

Among the first sites that I would visit at the time on a daily basis was NBA.com including to actually search for new X-Files photos including a possible new Wallpaper including newly released X-Files themed MIDI songs.

07. How did you start getting involved in Security? What prompted you to start your career?

Among the first Web sites for hacking and security that I stumbled upon were personal Web sites for people and folks based in the U.S which I found using several of the most popular search engines at the time. At the time I was greatly provoked by the existence of hacking tools in particular trojan horses which actually led to me pursue a career as a Newsletter Contributor to Trojan Defense Suite and Technical Collector at LockDownCorp at a later stage which were one of the leading anti-trojan software vendor solutions at the time. When I was not busy visiting Cyberarmy.com's Top 50 Hacking Web Sites and Progenic.com's Top 100 Hacking Web sites I was actually busy writing manuals and actually trying to become a member of an actual hacking group. I was also busy running a personal Hacking Web site at the time which basically included a variety of collected E-books and various other tools and programs including my personal hacking and security manuals and actual hacking and security papers.

At a later stage while I was busy working for the infamous https://astalavista.com as a Managing Director where I was busy responsible for the Security Directory content including the overall management of the portal I decided to launch my personal - https://ddanchev.blogspot.com which later on became one of the world's most popular security publications including the Security Industry's flagship security publication for cybercrime research and threat intelligence gathering leading me to the publication of hundreds of high-quality and never-published before security and cybercrime research type of articles which basically largely contributed and led me to pursue a variety of career opportunities within the Security Industry in particular my involvement with Webroot for a period of two years where I actively managed to produce hundreds of high-profile research articles.

I'm currenly active on Twitter - https://twitter.com/dancho_danchev LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/danchodanchev and Medium - https://medium.com/@danchodanchev and I'm often invited at various invite-only or public and commercial Security Events which include InfoSec Europe, RSA Europe and CyberCamp 2016.

12. Have you ever compromised a legitimate Web site? What was the purpose? Did they notice? How did you really compromise it?

In my entire teenage ex-hacker enthusiast experience I've only compromised one Web site which was basically my town's official Web site where I managed to obtain the accounting data for the Web site by socially engineering Tripod.com at the time by basically going through the System Administrator's ICQ profile and actually approaching Tripod.com in an attempt to gain access to the Web site for the purpose of changing the home page to spread a message and actually say "hi" and greet local friends.

19. How do you remember the rise of Web 2.0 technologies? Which were your favorite Web sites and technologies at the time?
