📜 Playbook — Detection Signature exploitation

1. Direction — frame the requirement for Detection Signature: what decision does this support, by when?
2. Collection — pull the 0 mapped sources (0 free) and the native workbench; capture provenance and observe OPSEC.
3. Processing — normalize, de-duplicate and enrich the collected data.
4. Analysis — correlate against local holdings; apply ACH; assign confidence.
5. Dissemination — open a case, draft a report, share via STIX/MISP.
6. Feedback — set an alert rule / watchlist to monitor for change.

⚡ AI Skills & Automation

Automate unattended via the cron pipeline (collect → ingest → resolve → enrich → score → alert).

🎫 Detection Signature

A YARA detection signature: a rule composed of strings/hex/regex conditions used to classify and hunt malware families and toolkits. It matters as both a detection artifact and an attribution pivot, enabling retro-hunting across corpora and clustering samples to threat actors.

Format: YARA rule syntax: 'rule Name { meta: strings: $a="..." condition: ... }'; validate by compiling with libyara; supports hex ($h={4D 5A}), text, regex, and modules (pe, hash, math, elf).

📡 How it is collected

• Authored from sample analysis
• Community feeds and blog IOC releases
• Vendor/CERT rule packs
• Sandbox-generated candidate strings
• Shared via MISP/threat-sharing groups
• Extracted from open detection repos
