This thesis looks at how Discord intelligence could be done, discussing not only the technical aspects but also different practices that must be followed to be able to admit collected evidence to courts of law, with a focus on those in the European Union’s Member States.
A rise in crime through Discord has resulted in tools for extraction of Discord logs from computers being made, but a framework for collecting evidence from live communications specialized to the use of intelligence is yet to be made. Thus, this thesis aims to address this by providing information to law enforcement and intelligence agencies that need to collect evidence from a live Discord server but are unsure about where to start.
The unsure future of intelligence for Discord is commented on, both from organizations with Discord’s assistance (in the thesis, referred to as Discord intelligence with escalated privileges), as well as parties that for different reasons may not be able to acquire Discord’s assistance and must perform intelligence as a normal end-user (Discord intelligence without escalated privileges).
