Our code is available on github: https://github.com/ccied/ugforum-analysis . It includes code for extracting information about the type of a post, products bought/sold, the prices of products, and currency exchanges. We have used eight distinct forums to assess our tools: Antichat, Blackhat World, Carders, Darkode, Hack Forums, Hell, L33tCrew and Nulled.
