Abstract(in English) In recent years, cyber attack tools and attack agency services are traded in markets called “Dark Web Markets” developed in the dark web. Through dark web markets, it becomes possible for anyone to launch sophisticated attacks. However, few studies focus on the analysis and the utilization of dark web markets. In this research, we focus on Botnet and DDoS attack agency services in dark web markets and investigate, analyze, and discuss the types of services, price quotes, market size, and the impact of transactions on the real world. We also monitor the dark web market and discuss whether it can be applied to prediction and prevention of attacks. Furthermore, in order to alleviate the limit of manual information collection, we are developing a scraping tool that automatically collects information on the dark web market. In this research, we show the countermeasures of the dark web market side, which was discovered by running the scraping tool for statistical analysis of the dark web market. There are three novelty of this research. The first is to develop a tool that can scrape the dark web market and to conduct surveys on actual operation. The second is to clarify that the dark web market side notices and responds to mechanical access focusing on information gathering only. Third, even if the dark web market side has taken measures against scraping, it shows that scraping can be continued by modifying the proposed method of this research.
