Security threat detection of newly registered domains

摘要

Domain names are determined for each computational event in a set, each event detailing requests or posts of webpages. A number of events or accesses associated with each domain name within a time period is determined. A registrar is further queried to determine when the domain name was registered. An object is generated that includes a representation of the access count and an age since registration for each domain names. A client can interact with the object to explore representations of domain names associated with high access counts and recent registrations. Upon determining that a given domain name is suspicious, a rule can be generated to block access to the domain name.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
extracting a set of accessed domain names from a set of events by applying a late binding schema to the set of events; identifying a respective registration time for each accessed domain name in the set of accessed domain names, wherein the respective registration time is indicative of when the accessed domain name was registered with a registrar or when the accessed domain name was first detected within the set of events; identifying a subset of accessed domain names in the set of accessed domain names for which the identified respective registration time of each accessed domain name in the subset is recent relative to times for other accessed domain names in the set of accessed domain names; determining, for each accessed domain name in the subset, an access count corresponding to how many times the set of events indicates that the accessed domain name in the subset was accessed; causing display of information relating to the access count; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
