Hi Netsec,

Keeping up with the constant stream of cybersecurity news, writeups, and research is hard. So over the past couple of years, we’ve been building Talkback.sh — a smart, searchable infosec library we originally created to support our team, but chose to share it publicly because we figured others in the community would find it useful too. We did an initial blog post about it in early 2024 that ended up here on netsec, however since then it's evolved steadily, so this post summarises at this point in time what it does and how you can use it.

Firstly, what it does:

Talkback automatically aggregates content from:

• 1000+ RSS feeds
• Subreddits, blogs, Twitter/X, and other social media
• Conference/infosec archives (e.g. Black Hat, USENIX, CTFtime, etc.)

Then it enriches and indexes all that data — extracting:

• Infosec categories (e.g. "Exploit Development")
• Topics (e.g. "Chrome")
• MITRE ATT&CK, CVE IDs, and more
• Short focused summaries of the content
• It also archives each resource via the Wayback Machine, takes a screenshot, calculates a rank/score, tracks hosting info via Shodan, and builds out cross-references between related items.

And how you can use it:

The Talkback webapp gives you a few different ways to explore the system:

• Inbox View – a personalised feed
• Library View – with powerful filtering, sorting, and full-text search
• Chronicles – explore content by Week, Month, or Year
• Bookmarks, Tags, etc.
• Custom Newsletters, RSS feeds, and a GraphQL API

We’ve found it incredibly valuable day-to-day, and hope you do too.
