Censys Launches Threat Hunting Solution to Proactively Track and Defend Against Targeted Adversaries

This solution helps security teams hunt faster, accelerate investigations and eliminate threats before they attack

ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Censys, known for its best-in-class Internet visibility, is launching a new solution specifically designed to enable threat hunting teams to track adversary infrastructure. The Censys' Threat Hunting solution is part of Censys' recently released Internet Intelligence platform, which provides security teams across the enterprise with the Internet visibility that they need to protect themselves from today's adversaries. While Censys has been a long time favorite for threat hunting teams, the new Threat Hunting solution is a purpose-built module that empowers security teams to shift from reacting to alerts and compromises to proactively uncovering and mitigating threats before they can cause harm.

The new Censys Threat Hunting module directly integrates into existing security operations products, enhancing detection pipelines and enabling security teams to be more proactive in their threat hunting. It automatically turns Censys Internet Map data into structured, actionable insights that can be used by security teams to identify malicious infrastructure used by adversaries to target their organization. With the new solution, security teams will be able to accelerate threat detection & investigations and seamlessly pivot from findings to proactively hunt for new and emerging malicious infrastructure. 

"One of the biggest pain points for us threat hunters is the inability to acquire timely and relevant data that enables them to proactively defend against targeted threats", said Silas Cutler, Principal Security Researcher at Censys, who has helped architect the new solution. "The new Censys Threat Hunting module solves that challenge by delivering real-time visibility to existing malicious infrastructure and the ability to find, pivot, and track known and emerging threats targeting their organization anywhere on the Internet."

The platform eliminates data overload and provides threat hunters with a central place to view all threat hunting data, including a list of all the known threats and a heat map of where those threats live. In addition, the Censys Threat Hunting Module features:

• Censys Threats Dataset: This dataset includes detections for red team tools, fingerprints and detections for malware operations. It also offers extended context on threats, such as descriptions, alternative names, actors, and reference links
  
  
• CensEye: Allows threat hunters to identify and correlate malicious infrastructure by detecting hosts and web properties with similar characteristics. This capability allows analysts to uncover adversarial assets and track evolving threats faster and with better precision
  
  
• Live Discovery and Scanning: Security teams now gain real-time threat detection and validation of on-demand scanning capabilities. Live scans expose previously unknown configurations, while rescans systematically analyze existing services and endpoints to confirm potential threats and track configuration drift
  
  
• Exploration Dashboards: The platform gives users interactive dashboards that offer visibility into threat frameworks, which allows security teams to explore data and trends, uncover anomalies and begin investigations effectively
  
  
• Certificate & Host History Visualization: By exploring historical relationships between hosts and certificates, hunters can build weaponization timelines, uncover tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and view historical attributes to leverage in detections.
  
  
• Advanced Pivoting and Contextual Hashes- threat hunters can quickly expand their related indicators by using helpful configuration-based hashes such as JARM, JA3, JA4+, and favicon hashes to build a comprehensive view of related infrastructure.

The new Censys Threat Hunting Module gives organizations unprecedented visibility, context, and historical insights to every Internet facing asset, including known and emerging adversarial infrastructure," said Brad Brooks, CEO of Censys. "With the new module, enterprise security teams and government agencies can proactively hunt for sophisticated threats targeting their organization using the Industry's most accurate and comprehensive Internet Intelligence data set.

Censys Launches Threat Hunting Solution to Proactively Track and Defend Against Targeted Adversaries

PANAMA CITY, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoin for two pizzas. It was not only the first real-world Bitcoin transaction in crypto history but also the beginning of consensus-building in the Web3 world.

Sixteen years later, Bitcoin has become a major global asset, and Bitcoin Pizza Day has evolved into one of the most symbolic cultural totems in Web3.

As another Pizza Day arrived on May 22, HTX DAO transformed this holiday rooted in pure geek culture into a Web3 cultural celebration spanning five major cities worldwide. The event signaled a comprehensive upgrade in HTX's global service ecosystem while also reflecting a profound shift in the mindset of today's crypto investors.

Five-City Synergy: Upgrading Global Service Capabilities

If the early crypto world resembled a niche utopia built by internet natives, today's Web3 ecosystem has entered a truly global era. The boundaries of the industry have been redefined time and again, and crypto culture is moving from on-chain communities to the broader real world.

This time, HTX DAO chose a deeply community-driven approach possible, bringing the festivities to five key cities across the globe to create a borderless celebration of Web3 consensus, each with its own local flair.

Community Deliveries: Crypto-native, peer-to-peer, city-wide pizza deliveries brought hot pizzas personally delivered to community members.

Interactive Gatherings: DIY pizza feasts in bustling commercial districts allowed young Web3 enthusiasts to debate AI, on-chain finance, and the industry's upcoming major narratives while kneading dough and adding toppings.

Cultural Pop-Ups: Cultural pop-up events in parks featured customized Huobao installations and pizza boxes, which became some of the coolest viral attractions in town.

Premium VIP Experiences: High-end VIP Pizza Day celebrations blended exclusivity with community spirit. Participants enjoyed private Ferrari chauffeur services as well as an upscale dinner party featuring wine, steak, and pizza. As guests engaged in deep conversations, and ideas clashed over market trends, asset allocation, and industry cycles, the event preserved the freedom of crypto culture while showcasing a premium service model as crypto finance matures.

If the five-city offline celebration mirrored one side of HTX DAO's global ecosystem services, it also highlighted a broader shift in market sentiment across today's Web3 landscape.

At the HTX DAO Global Pizza Day event, community members engaged in detailed discussions centered around asset allocation and coin-margined yield generation. Interest in HTX Earn's APYs rose considerably, signaling that a clear turning point in the industry narrative has arrived.

From FOMO to Stable Yield: Crypto Finance Enters a New Asset Management Era

The crypto world has never been short of tales of overnight wealth. In the past few years, market sentiment was dominated by FOMO, with investors frantically chasing the next 100x token or 1,000x Alpha asset.

However, as the industry wades deeper into uncharted regulatory waters and faces ongoing macroeconomic volatility, the underlying investor psyche is quietly shifting. As the frenzy fades, veteran builders and crypto whales alike are shifting away from speculative hype and moving toward pragmatism.

This transformation is directly reflected in both real exchange data and user demand.

Recently, HTX DAO Ambassador and HTX spokesperson Molly revealed that, based on user benefit surveys and interviews with top-tier clients, APY Booster Coupons have become one of the most requested perks. This trend suggests that users' perception of crypto asset management is shifting, with a growing priority placed on stable yield generation.

In many ways, this is a sign that the crypto industry is maturing.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at HTX DAO's global Pizza Day celebration aligns perfectly with this transition in market sentiment: the excitement is still alive, but rationality is returning; the dreams remain, but long-termism is becoming the new consensus.

The Pizza Will Be Gone, But Consensus Will Last Forever

From the very first real-world Bitcoin transaction 16 years ago to today's HTX DAO Global Pizza Day, this celebration serves not only as a heartfelt tribute to crypto history but also as a symbol of consensus. The evolution toward rational conversations regarding stable yield generation highlights a maturing market that deeply resonates with global users.

Sixteen years on, pizza flavors have changed, and market cycles have come and gone. Yet, HTX DAO's commitment to standing alongside its community members through every bull and bear market remains unchanged, as does the unwavering belief in a decentralized world and consensus around steady progress.
