When you play the game of wikis, you reliably source or die

WikiProjects

• I am the principle contributor to H+Pedia, the Humanity+ wiki on transhumanism
• I also contribute to RationalWiki a bit

Various pages I've built have turned into ongoing projects to maintain, providing summaries of topic you can't get elsewhere on the internet.

This is my blog

Tor and Cybercrime

I research and write around cyber crime and dark web sites a fair bit these days, both on Wikipedia for core issues and RationalWiki for where it heads into original research. Some of these resources are pretty well populated as a result.

• Darknet and Dark web - inventorying this emergent territory which is currently underserved by Wikipedia - I wrote a guest article about this! ( I even wrote Skunked term off the back of this! )
• Darknet market - tracking the history and status of the dynamic underground markets that comprise it
• Carding (fraud) - not to be confused with the primary topic of Carding <_< - I wrote a guest article about this!
• List of Tor hidden services - I have populated about half of these

Things I still keep an eye on

• Twitter suspensions - I made this!
• Political party affiliation in the United Kingdom - first ever comparison of political party membership restrictions in the UK
• Cyber-arms industry - the wider market for software exploits
• Transhumanist politics‎ - I track events here
• Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit - Tracking the ongoing operations of the City of London Police, BPI etc. Doesn't exist anywhere else as far as I'm aware

Completed Projects

The following supported the development of https://www.blocked.org.uk/ from the Open Rights Group

• Web blocking in the United Kingdom - the only comprehensive list of UK programmes in existence. Referenced by blocked.org.uk from the Open Rights Group
• List of websites blocked in the United Kingdom - Related topic providing the most detail you'll find about blocked sites anywhere on the internet. It's not GreatFire.org, but it's still pretty good
• List of people suspended from Twitter
• I founded the small Wiki Project Pirate Politics and I'm a member of Pirate Party UK

Completed Pages

These are things I built or did major work on that are in a good state and I don't care about personally maintaining any more.

• Freedom Hosting
• Deep Web (search)
• Block chain (database)
• Cryptocurrency tumbler
• Doxbin‎
• Operation Onymous - seriously, there was no decent central list of sites affected until then
• Bitcoin Fog‎
• BadBIOS
• Notorious markets
• Zero-day (computing) - this used to be a mess!
• Comparison of content-control software and providers
