Abstract:
Online social networks serve as platforms facilitating communication, collaboration, and information exchange among hackers. Consequently, the detection and monitoring of hacker communities within these networks have emerged as significant research areas in the field of cybersecurity. Numerous methods have been employed to detect these communities, with some primarily utilizing network structural information and others incorporating user-generated content topics. However, most existing methods rely on probabilistic models such as TF-IDF or LDA to analyze textual similarity, resulting in limited accuracy. In this paper, we introduce a Siamese Attention-augmented Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network aimed at analyzing text similarity among users and evaluating the significance of different users by comparing their text similarity with seed users. Subsequently, a weighted network is constructed, and community detection is performed using a modularity maximization algorithm. To validate the proposed framework, we collected Twitter friendship data and user-generated content from a pre-existing regional hacker group. A comprehensive series of experiments were conducted on this dataset. The experimental results provide strong evidence of the effectiveness of our proposed framework, showcasing its remarkable performance across various indicators such as community quality and topic relevance. Consequently, our framework exhibits promising prospects for practical applications in the field of hacker community detection. © 2023 SPIE.
