No doubt you’ve seen it plastered all over our socials. Maybe you’ve even used it yourself!
But following the release of our security analysis tool Dracoeye (we’re just over a month in since going live officially!) we’ve not rested on our laurels. We’ve actually been hard at work developing more features and are now really excited to be able to share the Dracoeye road map with you.
Seeing as it’s my brainchild, I thought I would personally give you a sneak peek into what’s coming up soon and where we’re taking the platform. Read on to find out more!
What is Dracoeye?
We built Dracoeye as a free cyber security tool that helps you check suspect URLs, domain names, IP addresses, email addresses and file hashes with all the major players like VirusTotal, Spamhaus, ThreatFox etc, all via one simple little box. Just paste in your search term and you’ll get a result in less than a second…give or take!
This is a bit of a game changer for those who have to check the reputation of hundreds of pieces of metadata daily. It was always intended to be a massive time saver for SOC Analysts.
Free forever!
This is important, so I’m saying it very loudly: this platform was always intended to be free. The aim is for it to always be free. This tool is supposed to be a good thing for the industry and as such we want to continue in that spirit. We will always keep the core functionality free of charge.
If we do have to charge for any premium features in the future, it’ll only be on those features that cost us too much money to run for free. But we’ll let you know if that gets added to a future Dracoeye road map.
So what’s on the Dracoeye road map?
We actually have a really long list of features on the Dracoeye road map to add into the tool, thanks to internal ideas and also feedback from the industry.
At the moment, you’ll see reputation results from the major IOC (Indicators of Compromise) websites. You’ll also see Geolocations returned, Whois lookups and DNS records. Obviously this depends on what type of lookup you perform. We only show relevant items, so don’t expect to see DNS results if you look up a file hash!
We are expanding these sections of information in the next tranche of updates. You can expect to see:
- Country Reputation
We will be utilising a global cyber threat dataset to expand upon the geolocation functionality that’s already live. If you look up a potentially malicious IP address, this functionality will tell you how much of a threat that country is to yours, and how active that country is on the global stage in terms of international cyber threats. - Website Screenshots
We’ll be able to grab and display a screenshot of any domain or URL you search for. There’s a very strong chance that we’ll add this to the email search too. This will save you from browsing potentially malicious websites in order to check their authenticity. - Reverse DNS for IP lookups
We currently perform DNS lookups on domains. It seems unfair to those running IP address lookups that we don’t do an rDNS lookup, so we’ll get that rolled out too. - SSL information
This is going to be useful in terms of remotely validating a website based upon a URL search in dracoeye.com. If you combine this with the screenshot and reputation checking from the IOC databases, you will have a very clear and comprehensive view as to whether a website is who it says it is.
These are just a handful of things on the Dracoeye road map that you’ll be able to see on dracoeye.com in the near future. We will be publishing a product road map page on the site soon so you’ll be able to get an insight into what’s going on behind the scenes.
I also just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all in the cyber community for your feedback and ideas. You’re helping to shape this tool into being something that’s gone far beyond my original brief. Please do keep giving us feedback; it’s really useful!
Thanks again for embracing this tool; I hope you enjoy using it and I hope you’ll like the new developments!
