Guide Sections
Threat Actors
Major APT groups, nation-state actors, cybercrime syndicates, and hacktivists with their known TTPs.
TTPs & MITRE ATT&CK
Deep dive into tactics, techniques, and procedures using the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
IOC Analysis
Indicators of compromise: file hashes, IPs, domains, YARA rules, and threat hunting techniques.
Intelligence Sources
Threat feeds, intelligence platforms, dark web monitoring, and community resources.
Threat Modeling
STRIDE, PASTA, DREAD, and attack trees for proactive threat identification.
Essential Tools
MITRE ATT&CK
Knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations.
VirusTotal
Analyze suspicious files, domains, IPs and URLs to detect malware and breaches.
Shodan
Search engine for Internet-connected devices and exposed infrastructure.
AlienVault OTX
Open threat exchange platform for sharing threat intelligence.
YARA
Pattern matching swiss army knife for malware researchers.
Maltego
Interactive data mining tool for link analysis and threat intelligence.
🎯 Threat Intelligence for Red Teams
Understanding real-world threat actor TTPs helps you design more realistic attack simulations. Emulate known adversaries to test if defenses can detect and respond to actual threats.
