New Cybersecurity Tools Released: URLFinder and WELA

Two new cybersecurity tools have been released: URLFinder and WELA. URLFinder is a high-speed tool for passive URL discovery, optimized for web asset detection without active scanning. It is designed for penetration testers and security researchers, requiring Go 1.21 for installation. WELA, developed by Yamato Security, audits Windows Event Log settings to ensure compliance with digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) standards. It checks audit policies and log file sizes against Sigma rules and can apply recommended settings automatically. Both tools are aimed at enhancing security practices but do not report any active exploitation or vulnerabilities. They are available for public use and can significantly aid in security assessments.

Key Points: • URLFinder enables passive URL discovery without active scanning. • WELA audits Windows Event Log settings for compliance with DFIR standards. • Both tools are designed for security professionals and are publicly available.
