What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps SOC analysts and security engineers interpret raw authentication, network, endpoint, and cloud audit logs to identify suspicious activity, build baselines for anomaly detection, and produce findings that map to verifiable MITRE ATT&CK techniques.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Log source taxonomy: Clarifies what each log source reveals (authentication, DNS, network traffic, endpoint telemetry, cloud audit) and which ATT&CK data sources it supports.
- Event ID and pattern guidance: Interprets common Windows Event IDs (e.g., 4624/4625/4688) and Linux auth patterns (e.g., sudo usage, SSH successes/failures) in security context.
- Anomaly + baseline workflow: Recommends how to define “normal” per NIST SP 800-92 using historical clean data, thresholds, and ongoing updates.
- Cross-source correlation: Provides practical correlation strategies (temporal joins, entity pivoting, kill-chain reconstruction) to reconstruct attacker sequences.
- Reportable outputs: Generates analysis using a structured report format with severity (P1–P4), evidence, and timeline entries mapped to ATT&CK.
Quick Start
Analyze the provided log data for the suspicious activity affecting the user and time window and return a MITRE ATT&CK-mapped report with findings, timeline, baselines, visibility gaps, and recommendations.
