CyberThreatWiki — The Independent Cyber Threat Encyclopedia

CyberThreatWiki is an independent, neutral encyclopedia of the cyber threat landscape. It covers malware families and ransomware strains, threat actor groups, attack techniques, vulnerabilities and weakness classes, security controls and defensive technology, notable breaches and campaigns, frameworks and regulation, and the tools used to attack and defend systems.

Articles are written for readers with no prior security background and explain concepts from first principles. Where a campaign or intrusion is attributed to a group, the article names the organisation making that assessment rather than asserting it as settled fact. The site publishes no exploit code, no operational attack instructions, and no indicators of compromise. It has no affiliation with any security vendor, agency or organisation it describes.
