One of the most common problems faced by CTI analysts is the use of collected data to discover further elements of hostile activity, i.e. the so-called "pivoting". Simply put, pivoting consists in discovering other artifacts such as IP addresses or malware samples through the common points of contact of both elements. In the case of malware, this can […]

In the post about finding information about malware samples in open sources, I briefly mentioned the use of YARA rules and described the basics of using them in the context of HybridAnalysis. However, this tool is important and universal in the work of a CTI analyst, incident responder or threat hunter, that it is definitely worth devoting a separate [...]
Hunting - putting CTI to work
On counterintelligence.pl I have already devoted a lot of space to OSINT and threat intelligence. We must not forget, however, that the interview in its various forms is primarily a supporting function. It supports decision-making, incident response and detection of malicious activity.

It is one of the most widely used sources of information and a common goal of analyst research, but at the same time a technically complex issue. If we are talking about advanced static analysis (of the file itself) and dynamic (observing the behavior of the file after running), it is [...]
