August 2015

 
Hello Zachary:

After an exciting August we are thrilled to take on a jam-packed September complete with webinars, breakfast seminars, and exciting product news. We are having a webinar with the SANS Institute (Making DNS Your Greatest Ally in Active Defense) on September 3rd, which will include our own Tim Helming and cybersecurity analyst Dave Shackelford. Tim will also participate in a webinar with Dark Reading ( Using Threat Intelligence to Improve Enterprise Cyber Defense) on September 16th joined by critically-acclaimed industry analyst Michael Osterman. If you are interested in attending either of these webinars please sign up via the links provided above.
 

As many of you are aware, August was the month of Vegas and cyber security conferences. We were honored to partake in activities at all three conferences: Blackhat, BSides, and DefCon. Tim Helming provided his guide to the cyber galaxy on ferreting out criminal infrastructure and attributing attacks in his BSides presentation titled "Open Up A Can of OSINT On 'Em". For a quick summary of Tim's experience and information on obtaining his presentation (or just for a good pun), check out his most recent blog post.

We're looking forward to Seattle's crisp, cold Fall and releasing our much anticipated cybersecurity investigation platform. For up to date information on DomainTools and industry news, check out our blog and follow us on Twitter via @DomainTools

Sincerely,
DomainTools

But when our presentation abstract, "Open Up A Can Of OSINT On 'Em," was accepted, that sealed the deal. Here are a few impressions and observations on the show and information about our session.

  Krebs: A closer look at the Terracotta VPN research

Brian Krebs recently blogged about a report, published by RSA Research, that uncovered a network of compromised Windows machines being used as VPN exit nodes. Krebs wanted to go deeper, and since he's a power user, one domain was all he needed. This story is typical of the kind of research people do every day with DomainTools. Read More

In case you missed these, here are two of our most popular pieces for learning how to use DomainTools data and tools in your investigations.
 

Go Beyond Whois for a Full Profile of a Domain

Read about the many types of domain intelligence available beyond the Whois record. See how our Domain Profiles can tell you everything about a website and its owner.
