Cybersecurity Data Extraction from Common Crawl
Ashim Mahara
TL;DR
This paper introduces Alpha-Root, a cybersecurity dataset derived from the Common Crawl web graph using community detection, enabling direct mining of quality domains from minimal seed sources.
Contribution
It presents a novel method for extracting cybersecurity data by leveraging community detection on the web graph, avoiding iterative content scoring.
Findings
Successfully mined quality domains from the web graph
Achieved efficient extraction starting from only 20 seed domains
Demonstrated effectiveness compared to traditional iterative methods
Abstract
Alpha-Root is a cybersecurity-focused dataset collected in a single shot from the Common Crawl web graph using community detection. Unlike iterative content-scoring approaches like DeepSeekMath, we mine quality domains directly from the web graph, starting from just 20 trusted seed domains.
