15 hours ago
- Micah Lee released TeleMessage Explorer, an open-source research tool for analyzing the hacked TeleMessage dataset.
- The tool requires the TeleMessage dataset from DDoSecrets and about 530 GB of free space, along with Docker and Python/Poetry.
- Users extract strings from 2,729 heap dump files, then crunch the data into a PostgreSQL database.
- The tool includes a backend API, a Vue.js frontend, and a cruncher script to insert JSON objects into the database.
- TeleMessage Explorer allows searching and browsing groups, users, messages, and attachments, with examples including Signal messages and OAuth2 validations.
- The dataset contains data from various customers, including a White House staffer and messages from groups like 'POTUS | ROME-VATICAN | PRESS GC'.
