Where to Find a Hacker to Hire
Security analysis services like Rent-A-Hacker are just the start. Companies are learning that they have more comprehensive protection.
Chief among the outsourced security companies is Counterpane Internet Security (thehackerforhire.com), founded by noted cryptographer Bruce Schneier (see “Hot Seat,” April 2000, page 42). Counterpane installs hardware on its customers’ premises that patrols the network for security violations. At one base of operations, Counterpane keeps tabs on clients’ networks 24 hours each day , and therefore the company can act the instant something suspicious arises.
Schneier remains skeptical about his competition: “What hire-a-hacker services do is run a tiger team against your system, which is sweet for locating out what the vulnerabilities are. What we do is alarm monitoring…24–7, real-time.”
To better illustrate the difference, Schneier offers a physical analogy: You might want to rent someone to interrupt into your warehouse to ascertain if you’re vulnerable, but that doesn’t mean you’re getting to fire your burglar alarm company. Both are valuable, but certainly a burglar alarm is more valuable. Experts are expensive, and that they don’t tell you if you’re safe or not. They tell you whether that specific expert was ready to break in thereon particular day using that particular set of tools.
Best sites for hiring a hacker
In this guide we also want to point out you a couple of internet sites where you’ll hire a hacker:
One relatively new but documented website for dark web hackers for hire is
You need Tor browser to access the location . Once you’re there you’ll choose what services you’re curious about , and if you opt to order their hacking service, all you’ve got to try to to is open an account and send them some bitcoins.
These days bitcoins are often bought at many places, just google “where to shop for bitcoins using XYZ” or “Where to shop for bitcoin in country XYZ”.
Another site that gives hacking services is Rent-A-Hacker, it already exists since a few years and is additionally documented on the dark web.
The link to Rent-A-Hacker is:
Again, you would like Tor browser to access the location , see above.
And that is essentially all you would like to understand , which site you select is up to you. all of them provide similar service.
Whatever sort of hacking job you would like them to try to to , as long as you buy it, they’re going to roll in the hay .
They offer DDOS service, general website hacking, smartphone remote , stealing sensitive data or whatever else hackers can do.
Conclusion:
As you could see, it is really not hard to find a hacker for hire on the dark web.
Everything you need is the Tor browser and some money in Bitcoin, which is both easy and intuitive to use these days.
And both Tor and Bitcoin will provide you the needed anonymity for hiring a hacker, they won’t know who you are, and you won’t know who they are.

Our “open forum” on Discord, which allows me to interact with subscribers and others to allow direct questions and chart opinions on just about any stock, continues to grow with more participants every day. It is informative and allows me to share insights as the market is open and moving. The link is: https://discord.gg/ATvC7YZ and I will be there and active from before the open and all day. It’s a great place to share ideas and gain some insights, and we’ve grown to almost 1900 members. I also did this video titled “How to survive being an options trader and not blow up your account,” over the long weekend. I think it’s very informative as a guide to stock selection and option choices. The link is https://youtu.be/Y7H9RpWfLlo Enjoy!!
Tonight’s closing comment video https://youtu.be/gmdS65mok0Q
SECTORS: Earnings played a part in today’s market again. The follow-thru from yesterday’s numbers pushed PYPL +18 (14%) and LYFT +5.66 (21.7%). Today’s numbers were a mix with the hospitality booking firms the biggest losers. BKNG was a miss and after closing $1443.91 +65 it fell as low as 1,381 -63 but bounced back to close $1,440 – only $3.91. Trip Advisor (TRIP) was not quite so lucky. They missed top and bottom lines and after closing $18.72 +.63 it fell to $17.35 and finished $17.86 -.86, but it is down 40% YTD.
Uber reported horrendous numbers and it had closed $30.93 +3.11 on the strength of yesterdays LYFT numbers but the losses increased, and the company posted a loss of $2.9 billion vs. $1.4B expected and the stock fell to $29.50 before the CEO came on the call and spread some BS pixie dust about the last 4 weeks improving, but at the same time withdrew the guidance going forward. He also said that UBER Eats grew, but that they lose money on every delivery. At that point the stock turned and ran up to $34.19 before closing $32.80 + about $5 on the day. Unbelievable.
ROKU reported a beat on revenues but another loss. The stock had closed $137.50 +9.98 and guidance is for no profit in either 2020 or 2021. The stock sold off to $123.11 and finished $123.50 -14.00 (3.73%).
FOOD SUPPLY: was MIXED with TSN +2.62, BGS -.35, FLO +.14, CAG -.60, MDLZ +.02, KHC -.48, CALM +.84, JJSF +1.30, SAFM +5.91 and LANC -2.34.
BIOPHARMA: was HIGHER with BIIB +7.22, ABBV -.96, REGN +6.55, ISRG +24.09, GILD +.38, MYL +.54, TEVA +1.06 (10.11%), VRTX +.94, BHC -1.27, INCY +.39, ICPT -3.34, LABU +.24 and IBB $127.17 +.17 (.13%).
CANNABIS: This group was HIGHER with TLRY +.28, CGC +.16, CRON +.13, GWPH -.02, ACB +.003, PYX +.15, NBEV +.07, CURLF +.11, KERN +.28 and MJ $11.82 +.05 (.42%).
DEFENSE: was HIGHER with LMT -.58, GD +5.79, TXT +.61, NOC +1.11, BWXT +.56, TDY +3.37, RTX -.56 and ITA $146.05 +1.62 (1.12%).
RETAIL was HIGHER with M +.14, JWN +.26, KSS +1.56, DDS +.53, JCP +.004, WMT -.72, TGT +.21, TJX +.84, RL -.90, UAA +.62, LULU +2.87, TPR +.68, CPRI +.79 and XRT $36.53 +.22 (.61%).
FAANG and Big Cap: were HIGHER with GOOGL +26.07, AMZN +19.54, AAPL +4.75, FB +3.71, NFLX +1.74, NVDA +9.21, TSLA +.92, BABA +2.08, BIDU +1.12, CMG +31.46, CAT +.08, BA +7.69, DIS +6.42, and XLK $93.88 +1.85 (2.01%).
FINANCIALS were HIGHER with GS +6.08, JPM +1.51, BAC +.70, MS +1.83, C +1.96, PNC +2.80, AIG +2.25, TRV +2.51, AXP +3.50, V +4.92 and XLF $21.82 +.50 (2.35%).
OIL, $24.83 -.79. Oil was higher over-night and the rally continued early in the day to a slightly lower high of $27.79 before falling back and closing down on the day. The stocks were higher across the board with the XLE $37.09 +.94 (2.6%).
METALS, GOLD: $1,725.80 +37.30. After the recent gains, Gold broke below $1,700 and traded as low as $1683.90 before turning higher and breaking out again. last Wednesday. We are long NEM.
BITCOIN: closed $10010 +670. After breaking out over $7500 we have consolidated and broken over 8,000 and 8,500 and again consolidated. Last night I said “today’s close is the highest since BTC broke down in early March at $9385 and 9390. $10,000-10,250 seems like the next stop.” But I didn’t think it would be today. We still own 400 GBTC with an average of $8.06. GBTC closed $11.98 +1.23 today.
Tomorrow is another day.
