An academic journal article on doxing was recently published by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago and New York University. It is available for reading at this current link: https://www.cs.uic.edu/~psnyder/static/papers/fifteen-minutes.pdf as well as attached to this post.

The article draws from information posted pastebin, 4chan /pol/, 4chan /b/, 8ch /pol/ and 8ch /baphomet/ with no mention of the Farms. Reasons cited for doxing in the article included competitive, justice, revenge, and political, with a total disregard for lulz.

"Hackers" (as defined by having a hackforums.net account in their dox), gamers, and celebrities were cited at the most frequently doxed. "Deviants" were not even discussed.

Thanks to @Un Platano for bringing this offense to our attention

they should have asked 8ch /r34/
 
Why do we dox?

Because it’s fun.
 
Seriously what the fuck is that even supposed to be ? It looks like one of those notes you could find in Slender.

Because autistic idiots and fucktards need to have their anonimity stripped away. Of course they tend to do it themselves but eh.

We dox because it bothers them a lot, even though it is essentially meaningless. We tell them who they are, because they told us already, and yet, somehow, that repetition of facts offends them. It’s a nifty trick. It never gets old.

This is trash and reads more like a blogpost or a popular magazine article. Their "dox measurement pipeline" method is trash, the methods section does more to discredit this as scholarly work than to confirm it. They could have easily gone deeper here. Example??

we measured the effect of doxing on online social networking accounts.

How?

The final step in our dox measurement pipeline was to monitor the online social networking accounts that were referenced in the dox files for changes in their openness, or status
Click to expand...

Too many factors confound this and make this invalid. People change their social media account status all the time, and sometimes doxing only results in lockdown for a day/week. These dumb niggers should have actually contacted some doxed people and did interviews. I don't think it would be that hard for someone with a .edu address to find 10 people who would want to whine about being doxed.

Also,

The second step in our pipeline was to filter down the hundreds of thousands of text files collected from pastebin.com, 4chan.org and 8ch.net and extract only the dox files for further consideration.

What is the point of going through all this? There arent "hundreds of thousands of files" that would be collected in 13 weeks on /b/, /pol/, /baphomet/ and the pastebins posted there. Unless they are calling every single post made a file, I don't see it. You could just spend a little time every few days scanning the sites by eye and be more accurate.

Then they are just speculating in section 5. Again, interviews or surveys would have been better. On the other side of it, this is only a conference paper, so they are probably gonna go deeper. I'd keep an eye out for something else from these idiots.

One other dumb thing they do here is in their discussion they bring up SWATting. This is obviously some shit attempt to get attention for their trash. Here.

The relationship between doxing and SWAT-ing is plain (the latter is a way of increasing the harm caused by the former), and well documented by internet security press [22, 24]. The main issue is that police forces lack a way of distinguishing between sincere reports of violence and fraudulent reports of violence by those wishing to further harm doxing victims.
Click to expand...

There really isn't a strong relationship between doxing as a process and SWATting. I would even argue that people who freely let their dox float out there to some extent are more likely going to be SWATted. Hell, you don't even need dox to get someone SWATted. Lame, guys.

How the fuck is anyone even named that? If your parents name you that, you should be legally allowed to kill them.

If you name yourself that, though, you should kill yourself.
