The crimebot tool for forum scraping and the crimebb dataset resulting
from that scraping are described in this paper:
"CrimeBB: Enabling Cybercrime Research on Underground Forums at Scale"
https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sp849/files/2018-crimebb.pdf

The tool and the datasets are available through the Cambridge Cybercrime
Centre.

Best wishes,

Daniel
