The Archived Content Investigation

Background

Web Archive is an online archive of websites. It was founded in 1996 by Brewster Kahle and Bruce Gilliat. The website allows you to search for websites by keyword. You can also browse websites by topic.

A simple OSINT technique is to use Web Archive to look for very specific keywords of attack techniques, threat actor names, or code samples from malware. You may find old blogs, articles, or forums with key data points that can help with an investigation.
