Documentation
GitHub

Detailed analysis on a 10-year dataset of IoT binaries and their security features. The Cyber ITL focussed on which compiler and toolchain hardenings the vendors use.

CITL identified a number of important takeaways from this study:

• On average, updates were more likely to remove hardening features than add them.
• Within our 15-year data set, there have been no positive trends from any one vendor.
• MIPS is both the most common CPU architecture and the least hardened on average.
• There are numerous duplicate binaries across multiple vendors, indicating a common build system or toolchain.

The Bitcoin monitoring project by the Karlsruher Institute for Technology measures the activity in the Bitcoin network. They report about the origin of peers (ASN, country), the software version used, and report about block and transaction propagation delay.

The BGP hijacking observatory lists potential BGP hijacks. It can observe different kinds of hijacks, e.g., shorter path or more specific prefix. It lists the hijacking time, potential victims and attackers, and the affected prefix.

The Shadowserver Scanning projects performs regular Internet wide scans for many protocols. They scan for four main types of protocols:

1. Amplification protocols, e.g., DNS or NTP
2. Botnet protocols, e.g., Gameover Zeus or Sality
3. Protocols that should not be exposed, e.g., Elasticsearch, LDAP, or RDP
4. Vulnerable Protocols, e.g., SSLv3

The website is a great resource to get general statistics about the protocols, like the number of hosts speaking the protocol, their geographic distribution, associated ASNs, and the historic information.

Shodan performs regular scan on common ports.

Access is free, but requires registration. More results can be gained with a paid account.

The System Security Circus by Davide Balzarotti presents many statistics about the Top-4 security conferences, such as authors and affiliations.

The TLD Apex History is an ICANN project to gather DNSSEC related records for all TLDs.

TeleGeography provides different maps of the Internet. They contain information about submarine cables, global traffic volume, latency, internet exchange points. The data for the Submarine Map and the Internet Exchange Map can also be found on GitHub in text format.

The website lists all known speculation side channel attacks. Each attack contains information about the attacked buffer, the affected vendors, and working state. They are sorted into a hierarchy. Each attack is also linked to proof-of-concepts and the academic papers.

The GitHub repository collects CVEs and proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits for them. It is a good resource to play around with sample exploits.

The website lists docker containers from Docker Hub with known vulnerabilities in it. The top 1000 docker containers from Docker Hub are regularly scanned with Trivy and the results reported here.

A similar tool to scan for vulnerable containers is Clair scanner.

A good deal of different metadata about countries, such as name, country code, languages. It also has a geojson of the country's outline and the flags.

W³Techs crawls a large part of the web, with over 10 million sites (Alexa). It focuses on the technologies used to implement the websites. The website offers various statistics, such as the most used languages, frameworks, web servers, and hosting information.

The website provides download access to domains in many TLDs. Most lists are updated daily. However, not all the lists seem complete. For example, DENIC reports that they manage over 17 million domains, whereas zonefiles.io only reports over 6 million domains.

https://caniuse.rs shows which library functions were stabilized in which Rust version.

The website https://cmd.ms/ provides a shortlink to all Microsoft portal pages. Using various shortcuts in the form of [command].cmd.ms exist and redirect you to the matching cloud portal. For example, https://az.cmd.ms redirects to the Azure portal https://portal.azure.com.

dnsdumpster.com fetches a lot of DNS information belonging to one domain. It checks the authoritative name servers, which records exist, and where the servers are located.

Dnsthought lists many statistics about the resolvers visible to the .nl-authoritative name servers. The data is gathered from the RIPE Atlas probes. There is a dashboard which only works partially.

Raw data access is also available.
