分析地下论坛中恶意者共享资源的行为,揭示技术高低人群的协作模式。
Characterizing Resource Sharing Practices on Underground Internet Forum Synthetic Non-Consensual Intimate Image Content Creation Communities
- 通过分析28万条4chan评论与7.8万篇Reddit帖子,追踪165天内的资源交换
- 高技术者与新手共享生成与传播非法内容的多种工具和方法
- 发现监管漏洞,提出增强威慑的干预点,适合政策制定者参考
许多制造和传播合成非自愿亲密图像(SNCII)的恶意行为者在互联网论坛中交换资源、策略和生成内容。技术娴熟的个体倾向于聚集在特定社区(如4chan),而技术较低的用户则更活跃于其他平台(如Reddit)。为刻画生态系统中的关键参与者,我们对多个社区进行了整合分析,共分析了282,154条4chan评论和78,308篇Reddit帖子,时间跨度为2025年6月至11月的165天。研究发现:(a) 不同技术水平的用户广泛使用并共享用于生成SNCII的一次性资源,以及用于传播的多种二次资源;(b) 专家与新手之间的知识传递加速了这些非法资源的扩散。基于实证分析,本文识别出现有SNCII监管体系的漏洞,并提炼出若干关键干预点以加强威慑力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Many malicious actors responsible for disseminating synthetic non-consensual intimate imagery (SNCII) operate within internet forums to exchange resources, strategies, and generated content across multiple platforms. Technically-sophisticated actors gravitate toward certain communities (e.g., 4chan), while lower-sophistication end-users are more active on others (e.g., Reddit). To characterize key stakeholders in the broader ecosystem, we perform an integrated analysis of multiple communities, analyzing 282,154 4chan comments and 78,308 Reddit submissions spanning 165 days between June and November 2025 to characterize involved actors, actions, and resources. We find: (a) that users with differing levels of technical sophistication employ and share a wide range of primary resources facilitating SNCII content creation as well as numerous secondary resources facilitating dissemination; and (b) that knowledge transfer between experts and newcomers facilitates propagation of these illicit resources. Based on our empirical analysis, we identify gaps in existing SNCII regulatory infrastructure and synthesize several critical intervention points for bolstering deterrence.
