According to investigations published by security �rms and cybersecurity experts,

the number of hacking communities on the dark web is on the rise.

Most of the hacking forums are closed to the public and one must request an
invitation to join. Also, the majority of these groups focus their discussions on
speci�c topics and practices, such as DDOS attacks, social media hacks, data theft,
etc.

However, not all hacker forums are a hotbed of criminal activity as often depicted
in the media. Some hacker communities work for social causes like highlighting
oppressive governments or providing censorship-free platforms for citizens.

Torum
Torum claims to be a non-pro�t cybersecurity forum that was launched in 2017.

Hack Forums
Hack Forums is a hacker forum on the clearnet that you can access without a Tor
browser. The site claims to have over half a million users which would make it one
of the largest hacker communities online. In order to access any of the threads,
registration is mandatory.

While not your typical dark web hacker forum if you consider its stringent
registration procedures, the site is not without its merits. To begin with, users can
access a number of security and hacking tools for free. This includes BIP39. Epoch
Converter, Base64 Encoder/Decoder, Hash Encryption and many more. You can
browse and share posts about basic and advanced hacking, website hacking, as well
as access hacking tutorials.

Interestingly, the forum strives to remain on the right side of the law and,
therefore, restricts the sharing of any personally identi�able information. Also, the
forum logs, monitors, and shares IP addresses and other private details with law
enforcement agencies. While useful if you are looking for information the forum is
not anonymous, unlike its .onion counterparts.
