Deception-led exploitation intelligence

Know the moment attackers start exploiting what you run.

Our decoys pose as the products in your stack. When an exploit lands, huntback maps it to the CVE and alerts you, then scans the attacker's own servers and collects the tools they left exposed.

Free plan, no card. Add your own decoys when you want them.

1,982CVEs detected on the wire

Each has a network signature, so an attempt on a decoy is tagged as it lands.

396,049CVE pages

Every CVE gets a permalink with EPSS, KEV status and our own sightings.

139kAttack events captured

Full requests from the decoy fleet, not log lines.

52,865Hostile CIDRs mapped

Networks traced from decoy hits back to the infrastructure behind them.

Exploited this week

What attackers are hitting on our decoys right now.

Ranked by attempts our decoys captured in the last seven days, not by CVSS. Each CVE links to its record with the payload, the sources and the fix.

Early, with evidence. PHP2Shell probes reached our decoys five hours before PHP shipped the security release. Read the write-up →

Evidence, not a score

Every alert opens a record you can check.

A CVSS number tells you what could happen. A huntback record shows what did happen on our decoys, who did it, and what they were carrying.

  • The request itself. The payload as captured, with the exploit marker highlighted.
  • Who sent it. Source IPs and networks, each with its own public page.
  • What they left exposed. Open directories and panels on attacker servers, scanned back.
  • What to do now. KEV status, public exploits and scanner templates, and the fixed version.

Loot

We visit the attacker's server and bring back what is on it.

When a decoy is hit, huntback follows the source home. Open directories, staging panels and payload hosts get scanned, and every file we can reach is archived, hashed and tagged.

  • Files, not just IPs. Webshells, phishing kits, exploit scripts, C2 configs and miners, as the attacker left them.
  • Tagged and hashed. Each file gets a type, a SHA-256 and the families or techniques it matches.
  • One host, one zip. Download everything recovered from an IP in a single archive for your sandbox.
  • New leads inside. IPs and domains found in the files feed the pivot graph.

How it works

From the first probe to the attacker's toolkit.

01Lure

Decoys answer like real F5, Ivanti, PHP or ERP servers.

02Capture

The whole request chain is kept, not a log line.

03Map

Signatures tie each request to a CVE and score what is new.

04Hunt back

We scan the source and archive its files as loot.

05Deliver

Alerts, CVE pages, API, MCP, STIX/TAXII and SIEM export.

Built by threat hunters who run the decoy fleet themselves. Research published every week, with IOCs you can download.
