Obi-Wan's Oracle: Dark Web Threat Intelligence Feed

Inspired by the deep knowledge and foresight of Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars, and the relentless pursuit of information akin to Asimov's characters in Nightfall, 'Obi-Wan's Oracle' is a niche cybersecurity intelligence project focused on the dark web. Much like an e-commerce scraper gathers pricing data, this project will utilize automated scripts (scrapers) to monitor specific dark web marketplaces and forums known for the trading of stolen credentials, malware kits, and exploit code. The 'Nightfall' element comes into play with the analysis; identifying emerging threats and potential future attacks before they become mainstream, much like the chilling discovery of the 'planet of eternal night.' The 'Star Wars' inspiration provides the narrative: acting as a beacon of knowledge in a shadowy realm, guiding individuals and small businesses through the digital darkness. The system will aggregate and categorize mentions of new ransomware strains, zero-day vulnerabilities being sold, phishing campaign blueprints, and compromised data dumps. This intelligence will then be presented in a digestible, actionable format (e.g., weekly reports, real-time alerts) delivered via a simple subscription model (low cost). The niche lies in focusing on the -emerging- and -forecasting- aspect of dark web threats, rather than just general dark web monitoring. Individuals and small businesses often lack the resources for sophisticated threat intelligence, making this a high-value, low-cost solution. The high earning potential stems from the critical need for proactive cybersecurity, especially for those who are most vulnerable. The implementation involves learning web scraping (Python with libraries like Scrapy or Beautiful Soup), basic data analysis, and setting up a simple subscription platform (e.g., through Gumroad or a custom WordPress site). The 'dark web' access would be handled through Tor proxies and specialized search engines, with a strong emphasis on ethical and legal scraping practices, focusing on publicly accessible (though often hidden) dark web content, not on illegal intrusion.
