Graphic display of security threats based on indications of access to 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:
retrieving data from one or more events in a data store having time stamps that fall within an identified time period, each of the one or more events including information relating to an access to a domain name; displaying a visual representation of the retrieved data in a scatter plot for the identified time period that includes selectable points, each selectable point representing a domain name, each selectable point in the scatter plot is positioned to reflect (i) an age since a registration time with a registrar for the domain name represented by that selectable point, and (ii) an access count indicating how many times the domain name was accessed; determining one or more domain names represented by a selectable point in the scatter plot that is a potential security threat based at least in part on both (i) a number of accesses to each of the domain names determined from the one or more events, and (ii) how recently each of the domain names was registered with a registrar; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
