Dark jargons are benign-looking words that have hidden, sinister meanings and are used by participants of underground forums for illicit behavior. For example, the dark term “rat” is often used in lieu of “RemoteAccessTrojan”. In this work we present a novel method towards automatically identifying and interpreting dark jargons. We formalize the problem as a mapping from dark words to “clean” words with no hidden meaning. Our method makes use of interpretable representations of dark and clean words in the form of probability distributions over a shared vocabulary. In our experiments we show our method to be effective in terms of dark jargon identification, as it outperforms another baseline on simulated data. Using manual evaluation, we show that our method is able to detect dark jargons in a real-world underground forum dataset.
