Darkweb Cyber Threat Intelligence Mining

The important and rapidly emerging new field known as ''cyber threat intelligence'' explores the paradigm that defenders of computer networks gain a better understanding of their adversaries by understanding what assets they have available for an attack. In this book a team of experts examines a new type of cyber threat intelligence from the heart of the malicious hacking underworld - the dark web. These highly secure sites have allowed anonymous communities of malicious hackers to exchange ideas and techniques and to buy/sell malware and exploits. Aimed at both cybersecurity practitioners and researchers this book represents a first step toward a better understanding of malicious hacking communities on the dark web and what to do about them. The authors examine real-world darkweb data through a combination of human and automated techniques to gain insight into these communities describing both methodology and results.
