A dump of this magnitude will aid authorities, academics, and journalists in tracking the identities of anonymous posters and outing real world neo-Nazis from their online hideaways. Often, white nationalists use the same nicknames across several platforms to maintain their personas when sites are shut down for terms of service violations. “Iron March has hosted some of the most dangerous right-wing extremists and featured some of the most extreme far-right content on the surface web in recent years,” said Ryan Scrivens, an assistant professor in the School of Criminal Justice at Michigan State University who studies the far-right. According to a README file posted with the dump, the data came from a user on an active neo-Nazi forum that succeeded IronMarch, who posted a cache they described as comprising “176 Gigabytes worth of videos, images, and literature all straight from ironmarch.” The original download link for the cache is currently dead.
