摘要: Cybercrime is often in the news and at attention of scientifi�c literature as source huge �financial losses or infection large numbers user machines becoming part a botnet. These activities are massive, supported by infrastructures services that reportedly served an active underground economy. Yet, current understanding this phenomenon markets underlying cybercrime economy design fraught with problems cannot possibly sustain effects which we observe read about everyday. This thesis presents systematic analysis of online black market, namely Carders.CC assess potential differences between susceptible to scammers (IRC markets) implement mechanisms reduce problem (forum markets). We �find evolved from equivalent IRC strictly regulated state may greatly favor market trade e�efficiency does not hold for Carders.CC. shows a total failure; reputation implemented correctly hierarchy rewarding communities properly enforced. As result operate move freely making them indistinguishable from normal users. Despite distrusting nature criminals (seen users these markets), they able distinguish "good" "bad" resulting failed market. therefore conclude we virtually no badly regulation enforced forums.
