My name is Dr. Mark Hofmann, better known by my nickname "Dr. Darknet".
My motto is "Know your enemy". I learn from the "bad guys" to teach the good side how to protect ourselves. During my dissertation in Psychology I spent years researching the Mind of Hackers.
Here is what I learned:
YouTube Interview: "Dr. Darknet" about the Psychology of Cybercrime and his research
I am especially interested in the "Dark Triad of Personality" (Psychopathy, Narcissism, Machiavellianism) among criminal Hackers.
„Empathy is conditional for me, and I don’t feel guilt. I understand emotion much more than I feel it. I analyze people the same way I analyze systems by ways of vulnerabilities, triggers, behavioral loops, etc. I don’t necessarily seek chaos, but if it’s profitable, I wouldn't flinch either. Emotionally, I am cold. This is not a trait I hide or am ashamed of.” (Black Hat Hacker)
