This skill outlines the development of an automated pipeline to ingest raw Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from various sources. It performs normalization, defanging (e.g., converting 'http://' to 'hxxp://'), and converts indicators into the standardized STIX 2.1 format. The processed, safe indicators can then be securely distributed via TAXII feeds, MISP, and other threat intelligence platforms.

This guide details how to build automated threat intelligence enrichment pipelines within Splunk Enterprise Security. By leveraging the Threat Intelligence Framework, users can ingest, normalize, and correlate Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from diverse external sources (such as TAXII, CSV, and custom APIs). The process uses KV Store collections and lookup searches to enrich raw security events with critical threat context, significantly reducing triage time for SOC teams.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for building automated pipelines that ingest, normalize, and operationalize threat intelligence (TI). It connects diverse sources—including STIX/TAXII feeds, open-source feeds (e.g., Abuse.ch), and commercial TI platforms—into SIEM and security tools. Use this when SOC teams need to automate the entire lifecycle of IOC ingestion, scoring, and real-time matching against network telemetry.

A comprehensive guide on building a unified Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP). This skill covers deploying and integrating multiple core CTI tools (MISP, OpenCTI, TheHive, Cortex) into a single system. Learn to design the architecture, configure feed ingestion pipelines, automate IOC enrichment, and ensure standardized intelligence sharing using STIX/TAXII standards.

A comprehensive system for systematically collecting, categorizing, and enriching Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) from various sources (network logs, memory dumps, email, etc.). It supports the entire incident response lifecycle, ensuring structured data representation using STIX/TAXII formats for robust threat intelligence sharing and defensive system automation.

MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) is an open-source platform designed for gathering, storing, and correlating Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). This skill guides users through deploying MISP using Docker, configuring various threat feeds (MISP, TAXII, CSV), and utilizing the PyMISP Python API. It enables the building of automated pipelines to aggregate diverse threat data, such as IP addresses, domains, and hashes, for enhanced security operations.

This skill provides systematic methods and advanced techniques to deobfuscate multi-layered PowerShell malware. It utilizes Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) analysis, dynamic execution tracing, and specialized tools to reveal hidden payloads, C2 infrastructure, and the original malicious logic. It is essential for security analysts, red teamers, and incident response teams performing deep malware analysis.

This skill guides the comprehensive evaluation and selection of Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs). It assesses vendor capabilities, including STIX/TAXII support, workflow automation, SIEM/SOAR integration, and total cost of ownership. It is essential for procurement decisions, migrating between TIP solutions, or assessing whether the current CTI program meets required maturity levels.

IAM Permission Boundaries are an advanced AWS security feature used to set the maximum permissions an identity-based policy can grant to an IAM entity (user or role). This allows security teams to safely delegate role creation to developers while strictly enforcing least-privilege principles, preventing unintended privilege escalation.

Audits a domain’s email authentication by querying SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS records using dnspython, validating syntax/counts, flagging common spoofing risks, and producing remediation guidance.

This guide demonstrates how to programmatically create, validate, and exchange complex structured threat intelligence objects (Indicators, Malware, Campaigns) using the STIX 2.1 standard and the stix2 Python library. It covers the full lifecycle of intelligence sharing, including defining patterns and publishing data via TAXII 2.1, making it essential for building sophisticated Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIPs) and integrating with SIEM/SOAR systems.

This skill provides a comprehensive guide to integrating STIX (Structured Threat Information eXpression) and TAXII (Trusted Automated eXchange of Intelligence Information). It covers using Python to consume and produce cyber threat intelligence feeds, including server discovery, object fetching, and parsing of STIX 2.1 objects for integration into SIEM and TIP platforms.
