BlackHatChat is one of the most popular hacking chat rooms on the dark web, This chat platform is ideal for legal discussions and information sharing within the cybersecurity community. LE CHAT is designed to work seamlessly with Tor, without requiring JavaScript, and is fully customizable to suit your needs. In this guide, we'll focus on how you can customize and set up your chat exactly like BlackHatChat on the clear net.

Step 1: Start Apache and MySQL Servers

Before diving into the customization and setup process, ensure that both Apache web server and MySQL server are running on your system. Use the following commands to start the services if they are not already running:

Start Apache Web Server

sudo systemctl start apache2

Verify Apache's status to ensure it's running:

sudo systemctl status apache2

Start MySQL Server

sudo systemctl start mysql

Check MySQL's status to confirm it's running:

sudo systemctl status mysql

Step 2: Clone the LE CHAT Repository

If you prefer to host it in your Apache web server's HTML directory, use the following command:

cd /var/www/html

Clone the LE CHAT repository from GitHub to your local machine using Git:

git clone https://github.com/DanWin/le-chat-php.git

This command will download the LE CHAT script and its files to your current directory.

Step 3: Create MySQL Database and User

Access your MySQL command-line interface (CLI) and create a database and user for the chat application:

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password when prompted, then execute the following commands within the MySQL CLI:

CREATE DATABASE lechatdb;
CREATE USER 'lechatuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON lechatdb.* TO 'lechatuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Replace 'your_password' with a strong password for the 'lechatuser' MySQL user.

Step 4: Configure LE CHAT and Run Setup

Navigate to the LE CHAT directory and edit the configuration file to reflect your database settings and desired chat options:

cd le-chat-php
nano chat.php

Modify the database settings and other configurations as needed.
