CACI Darkblue

Unlike providers that purchase dark web data from third parties or merely aggregate it, CACI relies exclusively on its own long-term data collection. This ensures accuracy, integrity, and mission-grade preservation of the collected data in a manner suitable for evidentiary purposes. The datasets come from daily collection in dark web forums, Telegram, 4chan, and other hard-to-access fringe ecosystems.

A key feature of the suite is the integration of DarkPursuit, CACI’s managed attribution system. This module enables users to seamlessly move from pure data analysis to secure, active live access on the dark web—without exposing their identity or internal IT infrastructure. No change of tools or workflows is required for this step.

The platform’s user interface uses machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) methods to accelerate complex OSINT processes and lower the barriers to entry for dark web analysis. With the CluesAI feature, fully referenced intelligence briefings can be generated automatically. This process is up to 20 times faster than conventional manual analysis.

DarkBlue includes targeted functions for de-anonymising online activity. The software links pseudonyms (monikers), email addresses, infrastructure data and crypto wallets to uncover hidden identities and networks. In the area of crypto analysis, cryptocurrency addresses can be attributed to illegal activities. In addition, 30-day transaction overviews can be displayed and direct connections to external blockchain analysis tools can be established.

The platform is primarily used by government and law enforcement agencies and supports, among other things, the following investigative focus areas:

• Drug trafficking: Identification of illegal marketplaces and precursor supply chains.
  
• State threats & terrorism: Identification of cyber actors, propaganda networks, recruitment attempts and extremist channels.
  
• Financial crime: Tracking fraud, money laundering and crypto-based offences to dismantle illegal networks.

• Ransomware & data leaks: Monitoring ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) groups and analysing compromised data in dark web forums.

• Counter-UAS: Identification of new drone technologies and real-time monitoring of global activities in the area of counter-drone (C-UAS).

• CSAM investigations: Supporting law enforcement agencies in uncovering relevant networks to generate actionable investigative leads.

CACI Darkblue is a highly specialized monitoring solution and is not freely available to every company. Sales are strictly focused on qualified entities from security-related ecosystems, as well as companies that fall under the Critical Infrastructure Protection Act (KRITIS).
