It’s a bit of a spiritual successor to the infamous Onion Cloner, but unlike Onion Cloner, it doesn’t suck. WHAT IS IT? Rotten Onions is an extension for mitmproxy made to launch MITM-like phishing attacks on darknet markets and bitcoin anonymizers for the purpose of stealing money from users who are too stupid to check that they’re on the right URL. So the latest tool on the scene is a tool called ‘ Rotten Onions’ I found on a domain that laughably suggests people actually memorised onion domains. Of course dark web scams have not gone away since then, and nor will they any time soon and darknet markets with their high illegal bitcoin turn-over continue to be a popular target. So prolific were the cloned sites, that when in November 2014 Operation Onymous saw 276 onions seized, it turns out that up to 153 of these were cloned sites or other scams.
