Sony Hack Attribution Generator

So there are quite a few conflicting stories out there about who hacked Sony and many "experts" being asked to weigh in with their opinion. Do you need a quick story you can pull out of your hat to explain the Sony hack at a party or job interview?

Just fire this bad boy up and read the output.

Are you just making stuff up?

It is not "made-up" per se. This attribution generator uses aggregated information from the VCDB and DBIR databases from Verizon that accumulate private and public data breach information from a great number of companies around the worlds.

It uses the aggregated likelihood of the types of breach actors (i.e. "internal", "external" or "partner"), and more detailed information about the source of the breach actor (such as "organized crime", "activitst", "state-sponsored", etc.). You can review (and tweak if you like) the breach info on freqs.csv.

We also do a similar likelihood estimation on reported origin countries of the attacks. Vou can also review this information on countries.csv.

Since it is unlikely that any further evidence on this case will be released to the public, it is really a guessing game now. At the very least, you can now have some data-driven guesses to share your own attribution story to the press.

Most of the details, quotes and IOCs are purely made up for flavor. If we have quoted you as a real person, we probably like you and think you made good arguments against the original attribution.

Technical deployment details

Dependencies

The Project is written to use Sinatra and since I normally write in Rails, I threw in a content_for tag that Sinatra doesn't support. Rather than rewrite the app, I just used the sinatra-contrib gem. So you need to install that too. Oh and facets so I could get the titlecase function. The easiest thing to do is just run

bundle install

to get all the dependencies installed.
