Over the past few months there have been several Com Network arrests, as well as increased media attention and awareness about the network, its harms and groups. One of the common misconceptions is differentiating the Com Network and 764.

Do you have, or know of, an interesting dataset related to the far-right that you wish was easier to navigate? Let us know and we'll do our best to help! Making data more accessible to journalists, researchers, and the general public is an important part of Decoherence Media's mission.
As part of our investigation into the Rope Culture web server, we created a search interface for Nazi forum scrapes and leaked databases called FashyLeaks. Currently it includes the Iron March and Rope Culture datasets, with many more to come.
We found the exposed web server of Rope Culture, a neo-Nazi online magazine from the same Nazis behind the notorious Iron March forum. It contains hundreds of email addresses of the site’s commenters, emails sent to & from their mail server & the IP address of every visit to the site.
