A black and white image of the U.S. Capitol building with devil horns on the central rotunda spire, surrounded by a rainfall of eyeball illustrations. Text reading DDOSECRETS is placed underneath the central portion of the building.

Continuing our work to archive data related to the January 6 coup attempt in Washington D.C. and the online activities of global white supremacy movements, we are publishing 4.5 GB of data from the .Win networks of sites.

This data was collected and has been indexed for searches by the researchers from SMAT (Social Media Analysis Toolkit). The raw data hasn't previously been made available to journalists and researchers. Thank you to SMAT, for this new resource.

From Mother Jones:

The posters’ deleted content included maps of the Capitol, manifestos about their intentions upon arriving, discussion about flouting D.C.’s strict gun laws, and praise of extremist groups like the Proud Boys.
