I’ve agreed to give a second talk at the GISEC conference in Dubai next month. Here is the outline:
Title: 24/7 Threat Tracking on Telegram: How to Automate Infostealer Log Monitoring With Python
Synopsis: In this fast-paced session, Matt Edmondson (author of SANS OSINT courses SEC497 and SEC587) takes you behind the scenes of his automated threat-hunting setup on Telegram—one of today’s most active hubs for cybercriminal activity. Drawing from his own Python-based solution, Matt shows how to identify the right Telegram channels to watch, spin up a no-cost monitoring pipeline, and parse vast amounts of infostealer log data for the signals that truly matter to your organization.
Attendees will learn how to tune a monitoring script that runs around the clock, rapidly filter incoming stolen credentials or sensitive information, and focus only on potential threats relevant to their environment. Whether you’re a seasoned OSINT pro or just starting out, this talk will highlight how a mix of resourcefulness, free tooling, and a dash of Python know-how can keep your team one step ahead of attackers—without breaking the bank.
