What DarknetSearch and Digital Shadows say they do.

DarknetSearch

DarknetSearch, made in Switzerland by Kaduu, collects leaked data, full stealer logs and underground chatter, and lets you search, monitor and report on all of it in one place. Attack surface discovery, code exposure and domain spoofing detection with takedowns sit in the same workspace, and every feature comes with an API and webhooks.

Digital Shadows

Digital Shadows’ product is now ReliaQuest GreyMatter Digital Risk Protection, an add-on to ReliaQuest’s GreyMatter security operations platform. It monitors the open, deep and dark web for exposed credentials, leaked data, impersonating domains, executive impersonation and attack surface weaknesses, and turns findings into GreyMatter alerts.
