Poster Abstract

This project develops an innovative large language model (LLM) agent designed to efficiently gather high-value cyber threat intelligence from hacker forums, dark web marketplaces, and social media platforms like reddit. The system integrates a fully automated end-to-end workflow that leverages LLM capabilities to analyze textual data, simulate user behaviors, and adapt its search strategy through a continuous feedback loop.
