The upcoming ASGARD version 1.5 comes with a IOC management section in which you can manage your own set of IOCs in text files, YARA and Sigma rules.You can then select each of the folders when creating a new scan run with THOR or SPARK. Selecting one of these folders...
Sigma is a rule format for threat detection in log files. It is for log data what "Snort rules" are for network traffic or "YARA signatures" are for file data. It is easy to write and read. Writing a Sigma rule is a matter of minutes. On the right you can see a simple...
The new version of "thor-util" (used with THOR/SPARK) / "spark-core-util" (used with SPARK Core) support a feature that allows a user to convert any scanner log file into a convenient report. Convert THOR / SPARK / SPARK Core scan logs into HTML reports Convert a...
