Description

Using the data collected over the past year and using Kibana these two ES|QL query to summarize the data, this shows the list of the most uploaded threat to two DShield sensors (local and cloud) over the past year. I have sorted the activity by months that shows the evolution of files uploaded to the sensors each month. The activity peaked during the winter months (Dec 2025 - Feb 2026) and started decreasing in March 2026 for each sensor.

Technical Analysis

The report analyzes one year of file upload activity to two DShield sensors, local and cloud-based, using Elasticsearch queries and Kibana dashboards. It categorizes uploaded files by type and tracks their monthly volume, noting a peak in winter 2025-2026 followed by a decline. The data is enriched with VirusTotal threat indicators and hashes, providing insight into the types of potentially malicious files encountered by the sensors. The file types include ELF binaries, scripts (Shell, Powershell, DOS batch), HTML, JavaScript, and others. The analysis is based on aggregated telemetry data and does not identify a specific vulnerability or active exploit. It serves as a statistical overview of threat file trends observed by the DShield sensors.

Potential Impact

There is no direct impact from a vulnerability or exploit described in this report. The content is an observational analysis of threat file uploads to DShield sensors over a year. It provides situational awareness on the types and frequency of potentially malicious files encountered but does not indicate an active security threat or vulnerability requiring immediate action.

Mitigation Recommendations

No remediation or patch is applicable as this is an observational report rather than a vulnerability or exploit. Organizations using DShield sensors can continue to monitor threat file uploads as part of their threat intelligence and incident response processes. No urgent action is required based on this analysis.
