interesting that attacks come directly from China instead of say some botnets distributed around the world.

I've never posted a link to a Fox News affiliate before... Here goes! http://fox2now.com/2015/07/08/is-st-louis-under-a-cyber-atta... Ok, so.. Norse Corp, the ones that make the map, has offices in St. Louis.
"We are not under attack. We are not going to die. You have to come to work tomorrow." Awesome.
Wow, that FOX site has actually replaced the original article with the one you see now. There's NO mention of the change.

#24Are there any open source map platforms like this for integrating into real time data feeds (i.e. if we want to track sales by region etc...) onto a map? I know about http://cesiumjs.org/ but it was extremely resource intensive heavy last time I tried to use it. EDIT: it looks like they use http://leafletjs.com/ -- looks interesting

Plot twist, you are China.

#27I've seen maps like this discussed[0] on /r/netsec/ and other similar forums and from my understanding, they are mostly useless. It's aggregates some data to make a very pretty site, but doesn't really give you anything actionable. Normally you need to run it through real monitoring tools with various thresholds configured so you can alert the proper teams to act when something odd is going on. [0] http://www.reddit.…
The Norse Map used to have a little "about" section that explained how the map is a general aggregation of data and designed to show at a very high level what is going on, but doesn't provide any deep insight into each attack. The famous disclaimer "for entertainment purposes only" comes to mind, but in reality I think the Norse Map is just a really neat and sort-of functional advertisement for the capabilities of Norse. If you go to http://norsecorp.com, you'll see that the company behind the map is a security firm that wants you to pay for "real-time visibility into global cyber attacks", which means either signing up for their service that alerts you of weird activity on your network, or purchasing their appliance that can help block attacks at the point of entry. I'd conclude that the map is not really meant to actually provide real threat warnings, but rather a way to see into what the Norse Intelligence Service is capable of monitoring.

#29what is norse, and why does it hate st. louis?
What's even funnier is all the attacks aimed at Kirksville. What a funny little one-horse town that is.

You could use Logstash and Kibana to make a similar looking map from actual logs, but i don't think you'd be able to do the shooting animation, but I'm not too well versed in Kibana. Maybe with a plugin?
