EUREKHA: Enhancing User Representation for Key Hackers Identification in Underground Forums
- 将用户发言转为文本序列,用微调LLM提取特征。
- 融合图神经网络建模用户关系,准确率提升6%,F1值增10%。
- 适合网络安全、犯罪情报分析人员使用。
暗网论坛是网络犯罪活动的聚集地,提供匿名性并规避常规监管。恶意参与者在此交流非法知识、工具与策略,驱动各类网络威胁,包括黑客技术、被盗数据、恶意软件及零日漏洞交易。识别这些行动背后的关键人物(即关键黑客)至关重要,但仍是复杂挑战。本文提出EUREKHA(Enhancing User Representation for Key Hacker Identification in Underground Forums),将每位用户建模为文本序列,经微调的大语言模型(LLM)进行领域适配,作为特征提取器。提取的特征输入图神经网络(GNN)以建模用户间结构关系,显著提升识别精度。同时,采用BERTopic从用户内容中提取个性化主题,实现每个用户的多文本表示,并优化最具代表性的序列选择。实验表明,微调后的LLM优于现有方法;结合GNN后,准确率较现有方法提高约6%,F1-score提升约10%。EUREKHA在Hack-Forums数据集上验证,代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Underground forums serve as hubs for cybercriminal activities, offering a space for anonymity and evasion of conventional online oversight. In these hidden communities, malicious actors collaborate to exchange illicit knowledge, tools, and tactics, driving a range of cyber threats from hacking techniques to the sale of stolen data, malware, and zero-day exploits. Identifying the key instigators (i.e., key hackers), behind these operations is essential but remains a complex challenge. This paper presents a novel method called EUREKHA (Enhancing User Representation for Key Hacker Identification in Underground Forums), designed to identify these key hackers by modeling each user as a textual sequence. This sequence is processed through a large language model (LLM) for domain-specific adaptation, with LLMs acting as feature extractors. These extracted features are then fed into a Graph Neural Network (GNN) to model user structural relationships, significantly improving identification accuracy. Furthermore, we employ BERTopic (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers Topic Modeling) to extract personalized topics from user-generated content, enabling multiple textual representations per user and optimizing the selection of the most representative sequence. Our study demonstrates that fine-tuned LLMs outperform state-of-the-art methods in identifying key hackers. Additionally, when combined with GNNs, our model achieves significant improvements, resulting in approximately 6% and 10% increases in accuracy and F1-score, respectively, over existing methods. EUREKHA was tested on the Hack-Forums dataset, and we provide open-source access to our code.
