Ever wonder why we build our own open-source tools? It's often to tackle unique challenges other tools can't handle.

In this case, we needed to track and monitor CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures), especially proof-of-concept (PoC) discussions emerging on social networks like Telegram. We're automating the monitoring of these channels, but our goal is to empower analysts, not burden them with manual work.

Check out (annotated screenshots below) how we developed and using the AIL Project @ail_project to automatically:

Link and correlate CVEs with social media posts & references.
Extract text from images using OCR.

This lets our analysts focus on insights, not tedious data wrangling.

AIL Project ( @ail_project )is an open source project combined an extensive integration with MISP Project @misp and other open source tooling that we developed for the past years.

You might be surprised by what can be encoded in a QR code. We've added automatic QR code extraction to the @ail_project for hidden services, social media messages, and any collected images. Many QR codes contain information that can be used for correlation, such as Bitcoin addresses, validation codes, invitation codes, and even XML streams.

Thanks to @terrtia for the tireless testing with the different QR code decoding library.
