Concealment Layers for Online Anonymity and Knowledge (CLOAK) is the first publicly available knowledge base on cybercriminal concealment measures. CLOAK has been developed by analyzing many Operational Security (OpSec) guides from both the clear- and darkweb. Its main objective is to combat cybercrime better and support the CTI community. For more information see Github.
Mick Deben holds a Master of Science (MSc) in cybersecurity and has over a decade of experience in cybersecurity. CLOAK was originally developed for his master’s thesis at Leiden University titled: “Hiding through and in cyberspace: Modeling cybercriminal concealment techniques” (under embargo).
