Title
AZSecure Hacker Assets Portal: Cyber threat intelligence and malware analysis
Abstract
Cyber threats pose grave national security dangers to the US. Many cyber-attacks today are executed with ever-growing collection of malicious tools. Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and malware analysis portals aim to provide knowledge and tools to help prevent and mitigate attacks. However, current CTI and malware analysis portals and techniques have been criticized for being too reactive as they rely on data collected from past cyber-attacks. Online hacker forums provide a novel source of data that can inform a proactive CTI and malware portal. This research demonstrates the AZSecure Hacker Assets Portal. This portal collects and analyzes malicious assets directly from the largely untapped and rich data source of online hacker communities by utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. This paper explores the development and evolution of the AZSecure Hacker Assets Portal. We also present key portal functionalities such as asset searching, browsing, and downloading, source code visualizations and code comparison analytics, and an interactive CTI dashboard.
