How I Use Grey Noise - Aaron DeVera
Summary: In a GreyNoise video session, independent security researcher Aaron DeVera described building an edge service that queries GreyNoise for a benign, malicious, or unknown classification on each request, with the API lookup adding latency of under 400 milliseconds versus 57 milliseconds without it. DeVera, technical subject matter expert for New York's Cyber Abuse Task Force, uses the setup to enrich traffic to client sites - including a group providing therapy for victims of cyber stalking - with GreyNoise data streamed through Kafka into a data warehouse alongside ip-info and ua-parser enrichments.
What you should know: DeVera's use case is identifying who visits a stalking victim's site roughly 20 times a day or DDoS-es their blog, and he cautions against treating GreyNoise as the sole oracle for detection decisions - a reminder that the classification feeding your alerting is one input among many when a restraining order is on the line.
