Abstract:
In this talk I will review our highly-acclaimed NSF-funded Hacker Web research, which develops advanced data, text and web mining techniques to explore the international underground hacker community. Selected research in identifying key hackers, important hacker assets, and emerging threats in the carding community will be presented. Via collaboration with the intelligence community and the industry, we have also developed tools and datasets for assisting the law enforcement and security analytics community.
