Cybersecurity risk assessment from Tweets

Using the script to get Tweets

To use the script as is,

1. Make sure to have all the requirements installed (e.g., run pip install requirements.txt or conda install --file requirements.txt)
2. Make sure a valid .xlsx file exists in the /data folder, containing 2 sheets, for vendors and keywords
3. From a terminal, run python get_tweets.py [BEARER_TOKEN] Notes:

• if you do not have your Bearer Token already saved, go to The Twitter Developer Dashboard, click on you project --> 'Keys and tokens' and click on "Regenerate" for Bearer Token; copy and save that token;
• you do not need to add anything else (e.g., apostrophes/quotation marks) to the token; simply paste it

Alternatively, instead of step 1, you can modify the get_tweets.py to include desired vendor/keywords. For this, delete the lines where 'VENDORS'/'KEYWORDS' are assigned values and replace them with python lists of strings, e.g.:
VENDORS = ['vendor_name_1', 'vendor_name_2'] KEYWORDS = ['keyword_1', 'keyword_2', 'keyword_3']
Steps 2 and 3 are the same.
