Cyber threat hunting is the process of actively seeking out potential threats in your network and eliminating them before they can cause harm. But, is this a service your organization needs? Hackers are always looking for new vulnerabilities to exploit, and they're becoming increasingly sophisticated in their methods. To protect your business, it's essential to have a comprehensive security strategy in place.
The threat presented by today’s adversaries is as pervasive as it is dangerous — eCrime and state-nexus actors alike are attempting to infiltrate companies and organizations of all sizes and across all verticals. While technology is a powerful tool for performing routine or repeatable analysis, the only way to effectively hunt and contain sophisticated and determined cyber threat actors is to use the expertise and ingenuity of human threat hunters.
TTP hunting is an intelligence-based type of cyber threat hunting that analyzes the latest TTP (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) used by hackers and cybercriminals. TTP threat hunters study the newest tools and technologies used by cybercriminals, learn how to detect new attack trends, and gather enough cyber threat intelligence so that companies can fully protect their attack surface.
Maybe I’m a bit late to the game on this one, but I recently discovered PwnFox and it has quickly one of my favorite tools yet. So, what is PwnFox? To put it simply, it’s a BurpPro extension that works with Firefox. It accomplishes two things. First, it helps containerize up to eight (yes, that’s right… eight!) different sessions within one browser and secondly, it organizes all your proxied traffic in Burp BY COLOR! I’ll dive a bit more into #2 in a second.
