The Vision
Radar is a dark web scraping platform built for Redbelts, an Australian cybersecurity firm. It continuously monitors dark web marketplaces and forums, identifying threats and data breaches relevant to clients — and launching real-time alerts to Chief Security Officers before damage is done.
My Role & Impact
As freelance Tech Lead, I led the creation of the platform from scratch, coordinating a small team of contractors. I designed the scraping architecture, defined the alert pipeline, and ensured the system could operate reliably in the unpredictable landscape of dark web sources.
- Architected the scraping and indexing engine
- Built real-time alerting system for CSOs
- Led a team of contractors through design to delivery
- Navigated the unique technical challenges of dark web data collection
Key Features
- Dark web monitoring: Automated scraping of marketplaces, forums, and paste sites
