When we uncover an adversary's Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), we not only make life harder for attackers but also generate a valuable repository of new indicators and patterns to enhance our detection and monitoring systems.
This is the essence of a threat hunter's role!
It begins with a comprehensive analysis and comprehension of threat actors' broader tactics and techniques.
The subsequent step involves identifying potential tools and utilities employed by adversaries to execute these techniques and identifying network and host artifacts associated with their activities.
Once these aspects have been thoroughly investigated, indicators are developed based on observed artifacts, behaviors, patterns, and signatures.
Threat hunters can bridge the gap between understanding an adversary's TTPs and developing actionable detection capabilities.
