Use when the user wants to generate or keep repository documentation up to date via OpenWiki (langchain-ai/openwiki) — an LLM-driven CLI that writes a wiki for a codebase (or a personal knowledge base from Notion/Gmail/Slack/X/web search) and keeps it fresh via a scheduled CI pull request. Examples: "set up OpenWiki for this repo", "keep the docs updated automatically", "generate an agent wiki".
augmented-reality-from-scratch Use when implementing the core AR pipeline (camera pose estimation, marker tracking, projection overlay) from first principles — not when just using ARKit/ARCore/Unity's AR framework as a black box. Triggers on: 'build augmented reality from scratch', 'marker-based AR tracking', 'camera pose estimation', 'implement fiducial marker detection', 'AR projection matrix math', 'markerless AR tracking'. Covers marker-based vs markerless tracking, pose estimation, and the projection math to overlay 3D content on a camera feed.

Collecting Indicators of Compromise
When to Use
During active incident response to identify and block adversary infrastructure
Post-incident to document all observed adversary artifacts for future detection
When sharing threat intelligence with ISACs, sector partners, or law enforcement
When building detection rules in SIEM, EDR, or network security tools
When enriching IOCs with threat intelligence context for risk scoring
Do not use for behavioral TTP analysis without accompanying technical indicators; use MITRE ATT&CK mapping for behavioral characterization.
Prerequisites
Access to incident evidence sources: SIEM logs, EDR telemetry, memory dumps, disk images, network captures
Threat intelligence platform (MISP, OpenCTI, ThreatConnect) for IOC management and sharing
IOC enrichment tools: VirusTotal, OTX (AlienVault Open Threat Exchange), Shodan, DomainTools
STIX 2.1 knowledge for structured IOC representation
Sharing agreements with relevant ISACs (FS-ISAC, H-ISAC, IT-ISAC) or sector partners
Workflow
Step 1: Identify IOC Categories
Collect indicators across all categories from incident evidence:
Network Indicators:
IP addresses (C2 servers, staging servers, exfiltration destinations)
Domain names (C2 domains, phishing domains, DGA domains)
URLs (malware download, C2 check-in, exfiltration endpoints)
JA3/JA3S hashes (TLS client/server fingerprints)
User-Agent strings (custom or unusual HTTP headers)
DNS query patterns (tunneling signatures, DGA patterns)
Host Indicators:
File hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 of malware, tools, scripts)
File paths (known malware installation directories)
Registry keys (persistence mechanisms, configuration storage)
Scheduled tasks and service names (persistence)
Mutex/event names (malware instance synchronization)
Named pipes (C2 communication channels, e.g., Cobalt Strike)
Email Indicators:
Sender addresses and domains (spoofed or attacker-controlled)
Subject lines and body content patterns
Attachment names and hashes
Embedded URLs
Email header anomalies (SPF/DKIM/DMARC failures)
Step 2: Extract IOCs from Evidence Sources
Systematically extract indicators from each evidence source:
From SIEM/Log Analysis:
# Extract unique destination IPs from firewall logs
index=firewall action=blocked
| stats count by dest_ip
| where count > 100
# Extract domains from DNS query logs
index=dns query=*evil* OR query=*c2*
| stats count by query
vol -f memory.raw windows.netscan | grep ESTABLISHED
vol -f memory.raw windows.memmap --pid 3847 --dump
strings -n 8 pid.3847.dmp | grep -E "(http|https)://"
Sandbox Report IOC Extraction:
- Dropped files: 3 (hashes extracted)
- DNS queries: update.evil[.]com, cdn.malware[.]net
- HTTP connections: POST to https://185.220.101[.]42/gate.php
- Registry modified: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\svcupdate
- Mutex created: Global\MTX_0x1234ABCD
- Named pipe: \\.\pipe\MSSE-1234-server
Step 3: Enrich IOCs with Context Add threat intelligence context to each indicator:
IOC Enrichment Report:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
IP: 185.220.101.42
VirusTotal: 12/89 vendors flag as malicious
Shodan: Open ports: 443, 8443, 80
Geolocation: Netherlands, AS208476
First Seen: 2025-10-01
Threat Intel: Associated with Qakbot C2 infrastructure
Confidence: High
TLP: AMBER
Domain: update.evil[.]com
Registration: 2025-10-28 (recently registered)
Registrar: Namecheap
WHOIS Privacy: Yes
VirusTotal: 8/89 vendors flag as malicious
DNS History: Resolved to 185.220.101.42, 91.215.85.17
Confidence: High
TLP: AMBER
Step 4: Score and Prioritize IOCs Assign confidence and risk scores to each indicator:
Score Confidence Level Criteria 90-100 Confirmed Malicious Multiple TI sources confirm, observed in active attack 70-89 Highly Suspicious Single TI source confirms, behavioral analysis supports 50-69 Suspicious Limited TI data, contextually suspicious 30-49 Unconfirmed No TI matches, but anomalous in environment 0-29 Likely Benign False positive indicators or legitimate infrastructure
Step 5: Distribute IOCs for Detection and Blocking Push IOCs to defensive systems for immediate protection:
Firewall/IPS : Block C2 IPs and domainsDNS : Sinkhole malicious domainsEDR : Add file hashes to blocklist, create custom IOC watchlistsEmail Gateway : Block sender domains, attachment hashes, malicious URLsSIEM : Create correlation searches for IOC matchesWeb Proxy : Block URLs and domains in web filtering policy
Step 6: Share IOCs with Partners Package IOCs in STIX 2.1 format for sharing:
{
"type" : "indicator" ,
"spec_version" : "2.1" ,
"id" : "indicator--a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890" ,
"created" : "2025-11-15T18:00:00Z" ,
"modified" : "2025-11-15T18:00:00Z" ,
"name" : "Qakbot C2 Server IP" ,
"indicator_types" : [ "malicious-activity" ] ,
"pattern" : "[ipv4-addr:value = '185.220.101.42']" ,
"pattern_type" : "stix" ,
"valid_from" : "2025-11-15T14:23:00Z" ,
"confidence" : 95 ,
"labels" : [ "c2" , "qakbot" ] ,
"object_marking_refs" : [ "marking-definition--f88d31f6-486f-44da-b317-01333bde0b82" ]
}
Submit to MISP, ISAC portals, and TAXII servers per sharing agreements.
Key Concepts Term Definition IOC (Indicator of Compromise) Technical artifact observed during a security incident that indicates adversary presence (hash, IP, domain, etc.) TLP (Traffic Light Protocol) Standard for classifying the sharing restrictions of threat intelligence: WHITE, GREEN, AMBER, AMBER+STRICT, RED STIX (Structured Threat Information Expression) Standard language for representing cyber threat intelligence in a structured, machine-readable format TAXII (Trusted Automated Exchange of Intelligence Information) Transport protocol for sharing STIX-formatted threat intelligence between organizations Confidence Score Numerical rating (0-100) indicating the analyst's certainty that an indicator is truly malicious IOC Lifecycle Process of creating, validating, distributing, and eventually retiring indicators as they lose relevance Defanging Practice of modifying malicious URLs and domains in reports to prevent accidental clicks (e.g., evil[.]com)
Tools & Systems
MISP : Open-source threat intelligence sharing platform for managing, storing, and distributing IOCsVirusTotal : Multi-engine malware scanning and threat intelligence platform for IOC enrichmentOpenCTI : Open-source cyber threat intelligence platform supporting STIX 2.1 nativelyYeti : Open-source platform for organizing observables, indicators, and TTPsCyberChef : GCHQ's data transformation tool useful for decoding, defanging, and formatting IOCs
Common Scenarios
Scenario: Post-Incident IOC Package for ISAC Sharing Context : After responding to a Qakbot infection that led to Cobalt Strike deployment, the IR team must package all IOCs for sharing with the Financial Services ISAC (FS-ISAC).
Compile all network, host, and email indicators from the investigation
Enrich each IOC with VirusTotal and MISP correlation data
Assign confidence scores based on direct observation vs. secondary correlation
Mark all IOCs with TLP:AMBER for partner sharing
Export as STIX 2.1 bundle and submit to FS-ISAC TAXII feed
Create a human-readable IOC summary report for email distribution
Including internal IP addresses or hostnames in shared IOC packages (information leakage)
Sharing IOCs at TLP:WHITE that should be restricted to TLP:AMBER
Not defanging URLs and domains in human-readable reports
Sharing IP addresses of legitimate CDNs or cloud providers as malicious IOCs
