Usage

Prerequisites

Plotly is required and can be installed via PyPi. python3 -m pip install plotly

All-In-One Dashboard

The script run_all.py performs the following actions:

1. Downloads the most recent data from RansomWatch
2. Creates multiple plotly .html files for a Pie Chart, Scatter Graph, Bar Chart and Density Heatmap.
3. The file dashboard.html can be used to view all of these .html files in a single view (shown in the screenshot)

Other Options

The following standalone scripts can be leveraged to create a single data visualizations format:

• Bar Graph
• Heatmap
• Scatter Graph

Note: posts.json must be placed into the LeakSiteAnalytics folder for these scripts to work. The most recent leak site data from RansomWatch can downloaded for their repository:
