How Machine Learning Can Help Identify Web Defacement CampaignsWebsite defacement — the act of visibly altering the pages of a website, notably in the aftermath of a political event to advance the political agenda of a threat actor— has been explored in our various research works. We broke down top defacement campaigns in a previous paper and, in another post, emphasized how machine learning in our security research tool can help Computer Emergency Readiness Teams (CERTs)/Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) and web administrators prepare for such attacks. The latter took off from the analysis done in our most recent paper, Web Defacement Campaigns Uncovered: Gaining Insights From Deface Pages Using DefPloreX-NG. Here we expound on why machine learning (ML) was an ideal method for our analysis to better understand how web defacers operate and organize themselves.
