Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for evaluating malicious web content for associated threats using specialized web crawling techniques. In aspects, a first set of malicious and/or potentially malicious resource identifiers is identified. The first set of resource identifiers is evaluated to determine at least a second set of resource identifiers associated with the first set of resource identifiers. The second set of resource identifiers are provide to a web crawling component, which scans the second set of resource identifiers using a threat detection component. If any resource identifiers in the second set of resource identifiers are identified as malicious (or potentially malicious), those resource identifiers may be classified and recorded, provided to the web crawling component, and/or added to the first set of resource identifiers in subsequent threat detection analyses.
