  abstract: A compelling, first-hand account of the dark web, from its underground ecosystem, to the people responsible for committing data breaches and leaking data, 21st century's most consequential data breaches, the responses to those attacks, and the impact of dark web data and intelligence gathering and can have in the defense and security of our nation. In Grey Area, veteran hacker and cybersecurity investigations expert Vinny Troia offers an unfiltered, first-person look into the evolving relationship between open-source intelligence (OSINT) and the dark web data ecosystem. Drawing from years of hands-on experience in digital forensics, dark web investigations, and adversarial engagement, Troia explores how publicly available and commercially available information--PAI and CAI--are rapidly becoming the backbone of modern intelligence operations, and how a human intelligence network of known cyber criminals helped identify and stop one of the largest data breaches in known history. This book examines the legal, operational, and ethical dimensions of collecting and exploiting data from the darkest corners of the internet, including leaked databases, breached credentials, and hidden criminal networks. It breaks down how to discover, process, validate, and operationalize this data in real-world contexts--from attribution and threat actor profiling to national security use cases. You'll explore the evolution of OSINT within the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community through exclusive, first-hand accounts from senior officials who helped define its path. You'll also learn how AI and automation tools are being used to validate data at scale, detect disinformation, and supercharge open-source investigations. The book also covers how data is stolen and what happens to it after the theft. Through his direct account as Reddington, Troia provides actual unedited conversations with the cyber criminals responsible for a hack targeting more than 160 companies, including …
