Assessment summary

Cybersecurity channel: breakdowns of vulnerabilities, rootkits, network attacks, and leaks — short notes with an illustration and a link to a detailed article on teletype. The feed has no new posts: the last publication was almost two months ago.

A post here is seen by a larger share of subscribers than in similar catalog channels, but with a base of just over a thousand people and low measurement confidence, views fluctuate greatly from post to post. The reach of a fresh placement is hard to predict — the channel is not currently maintaining an active feed.

About the channel

“The Dark Side of the Internet” is a Russian-language cybersecurity channel, nine years old. Each post is a short note with an illustration and a link to a detailed article on teletype: vulnerability breakdowns, attack stories, and reflections on data protection.

In the catalog, @darknet_links_ru, @tdnbu, and @yourdarknetshow are nearby. This channel is smaller than each of them in subscriber count, but a post here is seen by a larger share of subscribers than in @tdnbu and @yourdarknetshow.

What it publishes:

  • Vulnerability breakdowns: notes about CVEs and holes in software — from Windows to SonicWall network equipment.
  • Attacks and hacks: materials about rootkits, BGP hijacking, phishing, and data leaks.
  • Protection and digital hygiene: posts about bug bounty, metadata, AI biosecurity, and opsec.

Posts are published mainly in the evening and on weekdays; there are no reposts or ads in the feed. The reader should expect short technical notes with links to long articles, not a news stream.

By subscribers, it ranks #96 of 102 channels in the Computer science niche of the catalog.

What grade A+ means

The metrics agree with each other: views and reactions are distributed as usual, and almost no signals lower the index.

Compared with similar channels

Compared with 9 Computer science catalog channels whose metrics look normal. They are a similar size: 427 to 3,115 subscribers.

ERR (reach) higher than 9 of 9
@darknetq 104.5%
similar channels median 40.7%

This is not a niche norm: only catalog channels are included. A high ERR is not always a plus: if the other metrics do not support it, the index goes down.

Data source
Public Telegram data: posts, views, reactions, and channel metadata.
Date or snapshot
2026-10-18
Sample
The latest 40 public posts available at check time.
Calculation method
TG Inspector calculates metrics from the saved snapshot and combines independent signals into a deterministic 0–100 cleanliness index.
Factual result
The @darknetq assessment dated 2026-10-18 uses 40 recent public posts. At that snapshot the channel had 1,059 subscribers, median post views were 1,107, ERR was 104.5%, and the cleanliness index was 97/100.
Limitations
This is a probabilistic assessment based on public data: it describes metrics, not the owner's actions, and is not a real-time measurement.

This automated assessment is probabilistic: it describes the channel's public metrics, not its owner's actions. The index and grade are calculated from public data and are not changed on request. Channel owners can request removal of the page — t.me/obsessed_with_ai.
