Fidelis Cybersecurity Launches Threat Intelligence Database and Freeware Tools to Help Security Practitioners Find Attackers FasterFidelis Cybersecurity, the leading provider of products and services for detecting and stopping advanced cyberattacks, today announced the availability of a new threat intelligence database and freeware tools designed to help the security community stop attacks and prevent data theft. The new resources, available at no cost, include the Barncat™ Threat Intelligence Database, the ThreatScanner™ tool for finding malware residing on an endpoint, and CCNumberFinder™ to support PCI (News - Alert) DSS compliance. "After years of ongoing research and thousands of hours of incident response engagements, we're eager to give back to the security community by sharing some of the threat intelligence we've curated and free tools we've developed," said Fidelis Cybersecurity Vice President of Threat Research Hardik Modi. "By making these tools and intelligence available to researchers and security analysts, we hope organizations will be able to find and stop attackers faster and more efficiently." The Fidelis Barncat™ Intelligence Database includes more than 100,000 records with configuration settings extracted from malware samples gathered during Fidelis' incident response investigations and other intelligence gathering operations over the past decade. The typical remote access tool (RAT) malware sample includes a large number of configuration elements, including those controlling the behavior of the malware on the host and others related to command-and-control traffic. Barncat is updated with hundreds of new configuration records each day. By providing analysts with this extensive collection of extracted malware configuration settings, Barncat enables security practitioners to identify attackers more accurately and more reliably attribute multiple attacks to common threat actors. Barncat is available for use by CERTs, research organizations, government entities, ISPs and other large commercial enterprises. Access is free, but users must request access and meet specific criteria. Learn more: https://www.fidelissecurity.com/resources/fidelis-barncat. In addition to the Barncat database, Fidelis also announced the availability of two freeware tools:
