Notas do episódio

Search "dark web" and you get the same spooky iceberg explainer a thousand times over. Useless if you already run infrastructure. This is the one nobody makes: how a blue team actually does dark web monitoring — how you watch for your company's leaked credentials, catch Tor traffic leaving your own network, and turn a scary alert into a defensible plan.Built for the IT pro moving into defense: sysadmins, network engineers, help desk, cloud, and infrastructure folks. Most of what makes dark web monitoring work isn't hacker magic — it's the network and endpoint fundamentals you already touch every day, pointed in a new direction.⏱️ CHAPTERS0:00 Your login might already be for sale0:50 Who this is for1:30 Surface, deep, and dark web — the version a defender needs3:20 Why you can't just Google your leaked data5:20 The 4 signals real monitoring watches for7:50 Detecting the dark web on your OWN network10:20 DIY vs. professional monitoring — the honest answer11:50 Turn the alert into a plan: Inventory → Threats → Controls → Scale14:10 You're not starting from zero📩 KEEP IT SAFE — our free weekly newsletterOne practical, no-hype breakdown like this for IT pros moving into defense, every week:https://www2.blueteam-academy.com/keep-it-safe-signup🎓 TRAIN WITH BLUE TEAM ACADEMYLearn the full Threat & Control Method — the decision process a working defender uses, taught for people coming from IT:https://www2.blueteam-academy.com/from-it-to-cybersecurity/📖 READ THE FULL BREAKDOWNhttps://blueteam-academy.com/blog/dark-web-monitoring-blue-team/🔗 SOURCES & REFERENCES- MITRE ATT&CK — Valid Accounts (T1078): https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1078/- MITRE ATT&CK — Multi-Factor Authentication (M1032): https://attack.mitre.org/mitigations/M1032/- MITRE ATT&CK — Account Use Policies (M1036): https://attack.mitre.org/mitigations/M1036/- NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 — IA-2, AC-17- Deep/dark web size estimates: Trend Micro (2026)Subscribe / follow Blue Team Academy for a new breakdown each week.
