Web3 Domain
In cybersecurity, a Web3 domain is a domain name used to identify and locate resources on the decentralized web. It is similar to a traditional domain name but not stored on a centralized server. Instead, it is stored on a blockchain, which is a distributed ledger. This makes Web3 domains more secure and resilient to censorship. However, it also introduces new security challenges, such as the risk of domain name squatting and phishing attacks.
ThreatNG's ability to uncover whether a Web3 domain is taken or available is valuable for managing and securing Web3 domains. Here's how ThreatNG can help:
External Discovery and Assessment:
ThreatNG can discover Web3 domains associated with an organization, even if they are not publicly advertised. This is done through various methods, such as:
Domain Name Permutations: ThreatNG generates variations of an organization's traditional domain names and checks if they are registered as Web3 domains.
DNS Intelligence: ThreatNG analyzes DNS records for hints of Web3 domains connected to an organization.
Dark Web Presence: ThreatNG monitors the dark web for mentions of an organization's potential Web3 domains.
Reporting and Continuous Monitoring:
Technical Reporting: ThreatNG provides detailed reports on the security posture of Web3 domains, including any identified vulnerabilities.
Alerts: ThreatNG can be configured to send alerts when new Web3 domains are registered or changes are detected on existing ones.
Investigation Modules and Intelligence Repositories:
Domain Intelligence: This module allows for in-depth investigation of Web3 domains, including their registration details, associated smart contracts, and content.
Known Vulnerabilities: ThreatNG maintains a repository of known vulnerabilities related to Web3 domains and smart contracts.
Working with Complementary Solutions:
ThreatNG can integrate with other security tools to enhance Web3 domain security. For example:
Blockchain Explorers: Integration with blockchain explorers can provide more context about the Web3 domain, such as its transaction history and ownership.
Web3 Security Scanners: ThreatNG can integrate with specialized Web3 security scanners to perform more in-depth analysis of the domain and its associated smart contracts.
Examples of ThreatNG Helping:
ThreatNG discovers that an organization's unregistered Web3 domain is being used for a phishing scam. The organization can then reclaim the domain and protect its users.
ThreatNG identifies a vulnerability in the smart contract to resolve an organization's Web3 domain. The organization can then update the agreement to mitigate the risk.
Examples of ThreatNG Working with Complementary Solutions:
ThreatNG integrates with a blockchain explorer to identify the owner of a malicious Web3 domain. This information can be used to report the domain to the registrar or take legal action.
ThreatNG integrates with a Web3 security scanner to identify a vulnerability in a dApp hosted on a Web3 domain. The organization can then work with the dApp developer to patch the vulnerability.
