Learn OSINT for Threat Intel

Footprint Defense

SOCs use OSINT for threat intelligence: collecting indicators of compromise (IPs, domains, hashes), open-source feeds, and adversary TTPs mapped to MITRE ATT&CK to enrich alerts; sharing platforms like MISP pool community intelligence.

Security operations centers turn OSINT outward into threat intelligence. They collect indicators of compromise — malicious IPs, domains, and file hashes — and pull open-source intelligence feeds.

Raw indicators gain meaning when mapped to adversary TTPs in the MITRE ATT&CK framework, letting analysts hunt for behavior rather than chase one-off artifacts. Enrichment adds context so alerts can be prioritized.

Sharing platforms like MISP let communities pool indicators and reporting, so each team benefits from everyone's observations. OSINT, applied this way, powers proactive defense.

IOCs are IPs, domains, and file hashes.

Map adversary TTPs to MITRE ATT&CK.

Share intelligence through MISP communities.

Read the implementation

Connect each part of the code to the concept before you type.

1. Indicators

Indicators of compromise — malicious IPs, domains, and file hashes — are the atomic facts a SOC matches against its telemetry.

iocs: ips-domains-hashes

2. Open feeds

Open-source intelligence feeds supply fresh indicators and reporting without a commercial subscription.

feeds: open-source-intel-feeds

3. Adversary TTPs

Mapping adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures to MITRE ATT&CK turns raw indicators into behavior you can hunt for.

actors: ttps-via-att-and-ck

4. Enrichment

Enrichment adds context — who, what, and how dangerous — so analysts can prioritize alerts instead of drowning in them.

enrichment: context-for-alerts

5. Sharing

Platforms like MISP let communities pool and share indicators, multiplying everyone's visibility into active threats.

sharing: misp-community
