Decentralized Websites
Decentralized websites are hosted on a decentralized network, such as the Interplanetary File System (IPFS), and accessed using a Web3 domain. They are not hosted on a single server, but rather on a network of computers. This makes them more resistant to censorship and downtime. However, it also introduces new security challenges, as decentralized websites can be more difficult to secure than traditional websites.
ThreatNG can help organizations discover, assess, and monitor decentralized websites associated with their brand or organization. Here's how ThreatNG can help:
External Discovery and Assessment:
Domain Intelligence: ThreatNG can identify Web3 domains similar to an organization's existing ones. This allows organizations to quickly identify any decentralized websites that may be impersonating their brand or attempting to phish their users. For example, if a malicious actor creates a decentralized website with a Web3 domain that closely resembles a legitimate organization's domain, ThreatNG can alert the organization and help it take action.
Sensitive Code Exposure: ThreatNG can scan code repositories for references to decentralized websites. This can help organizations identify any decentralized websites associated with their organization, even if they are not publicly known.
Alerts: ThreatNG can be configured to monitor and register new Web3 domains that could be used for decentralized websites. This allows organizations to avoid potential threats and take action before damage occurs.
Domain Intelligence: This module can be used to investigate suspicious Web3 domains and identify any red flags that might indicate they are associated with decentralized websites. This includes analyzing the domain's registration details, website content, and associated smart contracts.
Working with Complementary Solutions:
Decentralized Website Security Scanners: ThreatNG can integrate with decentralized website security scanners to analyze the security of decentralized websites and identify potential vulnerabilities.
Examples of ThreatNG Helping:
ThreatNG identifies a decentralized website that is impersonating a legitimate organization. This allows the organization to take action to protect its users from phishing attacks.
ThreatNG discovers a vulnerability in a decentralized website that could allow attackers to steal user data. This enables the organization to take action to patch the vulnerability and protect its users.
