Why this tool?

ThreatPinch helps to speed up collecting information from common resources like CVE databases or public WHOIS data. As it works from the browser, it is a helpful addition for people who have to perform forensics, security monitoring, or system administration. For example, getting the owner of a domain and IP address becomes almost instant knowledge.

How it works

This security tool is a wrapper around API's. Whenever a particular piece of information is highlighted, the format the selected text is compared to a set of known formats. Depending on the type of data, the right queries are then performed. Such a query could be a CVE lookup for packages, or a WHOIS lookup for domains.

Usage and audience

ThreatPinch Lookup is commonly used for information gathering or threat hunting. Target users for this tool are pentesters, security professionals, and system administrators.
