FEBRUARY 2015

 
Hello Zachary:

We're off to a running start this new year, with exciting things happening here at DomainTools. In addition to releasing Bulk Parsed Whois, we've already participated in 3 events in the first 5 weeks of the year. Since retailers were a big target for hackers in 2014, we went to NRF's Big Show to gauge the industry's focus on cybersecurity. It turns out many of our own retail customers represent retail well, as they have been identifying IOC's based on domain intelligence for years.

If you too are looking to learn how to use OSINT data to improve your Threat Intelligence and Incident Response operations, we've recorded an Effective Internet Investigations session we presented at HTCIA  last year. It's a very detailed and practical video of our Best Practices training session. But cybersecurity doesn't always have to be serious, it could be fun and games too. And we certainly had fun reviewing hacker movies from the 80s and from the 90s .

As always, keep your eyes peeled as we have big changes and big announcements planned for the first half of 2015. Maybe some new products, new content, new data, and a new look. And maybe some more fun.

Sincerely,
DomainTools

Hacker Movies
  Part 2: Hackers (and Cybersecurity) Go Mainstream

As the hacker counterculture emerged and cybersecurity became a realistic household concern, movies followed suit. We continued our hacker movie review series by looking at three movies from the grungy 90s: one about encryption and cracking, one about the digital footprint and identity theft, and one about the hacker lifestyle and how Angelina met her first husband. Read More
