About Wiestell

Free, Open-Source Threat Intelligence for Everyone

What is Wiestell?

Wiestell is a free, open-source threat intelligence platform designed for security analysts, SOC teams, incident responders, and cybersecurity researchers. It aggregates and correlates data from the world's most trusted open-source threat intelligence feeds, giving defenders a single place to investigate indicators of compromise (IOCs) quickly and without cost.

Why We Built It

Threat intelligence has historically been locked behind expensive enterprise subscriptions. While excellent open-source feeds exist — URLhaus, ThreatFox, AbuseIPDB, AlienVault OTX, and others — accessing them individually is slow and fragmented. Wiestell was built to solve that: one platform, one search, all feeds.

Our goal is to make actionable threat intelligence accessible to every defender, regardless of budget — from a solo analyst at an NGO to a mature SOC team.

What Wiestell Checks

For any IP address, domain, URL, or file hash you submit, Wiestell queries and correlates data from the following open-source intelligence sources:

URLhaus

Malware distribution URLs and download sites

ThreatFox

Indicators of compromise associated with malware families

MalwareBazaar

Malware sample hashes and metadata

Feodo Tracker

Botnet command-and-control server indicators

AbuseIPDB

Crowdsourced IP abuse reports

AlienVault OTX

Open threat exchange indicators and pulses

PhishTank

Verified phishing URLs

Emerging Threats

Community-maintained IP and domain blocklists

Blocklist.de

Attack source IPs from honeypot networks

VirusTotal

Multi-engine file, URL, and domain reputation

Meet the Founder

Gary(son) Pereira

Gary(son) is a cybersecurity leader with 11 years of experience spanning professional practice and advanced academic research. He holds an M.Sc. in Computer Forensics and Cyber Security from the University of Greenwich, London, and currently serves as Lead Security Engineer in the fintech sector at Oakbrook Finance.

Garyson built Wiestell out of the conviction that high-quality threat intelligence should be freely available to every defender — not just organisations with enterprise budgets. Drawing on his day-to-day work leading threat intelligence programmes, SOC workflows, and security automation, he designed Wiestell to aggregate the best open-source feeds into a single, fast, and accessible platform.

Expertise

In his professional role, Garyson leads the implementation of a threat intelligence-driven Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework, enhancing organisational resilience against evolving cyber threats. His work spans the full spectrum of modern security engineering:

Threat Intelligence & Detection

Threat Intelligence, Threat Hunting, MITRE ATT&CK-mapped detections, IOC enrichment and correlation

Incident Response & Automation

Incident Response, SOAR automation, automated alert triage pipelines, SOC workflow design

Cloud & Infrastructure Security

Cloud-native Kubernetes security, Zero Trust design, secure architecture reviews, system design

Governance, Risk & Compliance

NIST CSF, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, OWASP Top 10, CIS Controls, UK Cyber Essentials, vendor risk assessments
