Censys

Drawing on more than two years of Internet intelligence, Censys ARC examines what's changing, what's staying the same, and what it means for security teams.

From the rapid growth of exposed AI infrastructure to shifting threat actor infrastructure and persistent risks across enterprise software and industrial control systems, the report reveals where the Internet is evolving fastest and where exposures aren't going away.

AI-powered offensive tools are forking and multiplying.

Censys ARC is tracking and fingerprinting emerging tools including ARTEX, CyberStrikeAI, Cairn, PentAGI, and more -- plus emerging forks.

These fingerprints apply across a comprehensive, current map of the Internet, from hosts and web to certs and Active DNS. Consume the freshest IOCs, or leverage our agents to expand them into the full campaign.

"A report published on November 5 by Silas Cutler, principal security researcher at Censys Advanced Research Collective (ARC), has provided further insights into ARTEX's use and the infrastructure surrounding it." - via @InfosecurityMag infosecurity-magazine.com/news/artex-act…

ARTEX is making headlines. What does its infrastructure look like?

Censys ARC identified 1,465 hosts exposing ARTEX consoles. 155 ARTEX hosts also run at least one other threat that Censys detects.
