Summary:
This document outlines a summary of various online tools and visualizations designed to track cyber threats such as attacks and DDoS events. These maps include the Norse IpViking, Global Botnet Threat Activity Map by Trend Micro, Digital Attack Map, Akamai Real-Time Web Monitor, Cyber Warfare Real Time Map by Kaspersky, Globe by F-Secure, Virusmap WorldMap, HoneyMap, HoneyCloud, ShadowServer's DDoS Maps, Cyberfeed Live Global Botnet Visualizer, Malevolence maps by TeamCymru, and Spam watcher. These tools provide real-time or near-real-time data on the spread of malicious actors, botnets, spam, and other cyber threats globally. They are used by cybersecurity professionals to monitor potential risks associated with online attacks and understand their impact. Nicholas sent emails discussing these maps, such as the Digital Attack Map and Trend Micro's global botnet map, in relation to Australian targets and interest in integrating ArcSight with HoneyCloud for real-time information about attackers. The document emphasizes tagging content like infections, honeypot, and attack maps to facilitate easier retrieval later on.
Details:
The provided text is a summary of various online maps and visualizations related to cyber threats such as attacks and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) events. These tools are designed to provide real-time or near-real-time data on the spread and activity of malicious actors, botnets, spam, and other forms of cybercrime across the globe. Here is a brief summary of each map:
1. Norse IpViking - An IP address mapping tool that provides visualizations related to attacks.
2. Global Botnet Threat Activity Map by Trend Micro - Shows real-time or near-real-time data on botnets and malware spread.
3. Digital Attack Map - Provides a global map view of cyber threats, with options for animated maps and country selection.
4. Akamai Real-Time Web Monitor - Displays the distribution of web traffic and attacks in real time across the globe.
5. Cyber Warfare Real Time Map by Kaspersky - Maps out the location of various cyber attacks as reported by Kaspersky Lab.
6. Globe by F-Secure, Virusmap WorldMap - Provides a visual representation of malware and attack activity on a global scale.
7. Other maps include HoneyMap, HoneyCloud, ShadowServer's DDoS Maps, Cyberfeed Live Global Botnet Visualizer, Malevolence maps by TeamCymru, and Spam watcher among others, all offering different perspectives on cyber threats worldwide.
These tools are used by cybersecurity professionals, researchers, and organizations to monitor potential risks associated with online attacks and can help in understanding the scope and impact of cyber threats globally.
Nicholas sent a series of emails to the ARST - PreSales Team discussing various online tools and services related to cybersecurity. The first email highlighted a web site called "This web site is cool" which displayed another DDoS attack world map at http://www.digitalattackmap.com/. He also mentioned a partner's company trendmicro with their own global botnet map, and a real-time attack map from http://map.ipviking.com/.
In the second email, Nicholas expressed interest in knowing who within Australia is being targeted by attacks and specifically inquired about a C&C server located in Melbourne. He found these maps fascinating to watch but advised against spending too much time on them.
The third email discussed a project called HoneyCloud, which has a map at http://map.honeycloud.net/. Nicholas asked if ArcSight could integrate with this system since it provides real-time information about attackers. The emails also included various tags and content categorizations related to the topics discussed.
This document is a summary of content tagged with infections, honeypot, and attack maps. It suggests that tagging the content helps make it easier to find later on.
