Incident Response with Threat Intelligence

By: Roberto Martinez

Overview of this book

With constantly evolving cyber threats, developing a cybersecurity incident response capability to identify and contain threats is indispensable for any organization regardless of its size. This book covers theoretical concepts and a variety of real-life scenarios that will help you to apply these concepts within your organization. Starting with the basics of incident response, the book introduces you to professional practices and advanced concepts for integrating threat hunting and threat intelligence procedures in the identification, contention, and eradication stages of the incident response cycle. As you progress through the chapters, you'll cover the different aspects of developing an incident response program. You'll learn the implementation and use of platforms such as TheHive and ELK and tools for evidence collection such as Velociraptor and KAPE before getting to grips with the integration of frameworks such as Cyber Kill Chain and MITRE ATT&CK for analysis and investigation. You'll also explore methodologies and tools for cyber threat hunting with Sigma and YARA rules. By the end of this book, you'll have learned everything you need to respond to cybersecurity incidents using threat intelligence.

Setting up TheHive and creating cases

The first thing you should do before using TheHive is to customize the settings of the VM. To do this, provide the credentials that are configured by default using the following steps:

  1. To connect to TheHive, you just need to navigate from your computer using a web browser to the same IP address assigned to your VM before. For instance, in this case, the IP assigned for me is http://192.168.216.173/.

You will see the following interface where you can connect to the platform using the predefined user account and passwords and review the documentation about how to use TheHive virtual machine.

Click on the link to open TheHive under the Quick connect section, as shown in the following screenshot:
