extracting-iocs-from-malware-samples
Extracts indicators of compromise (IOCs) from malware samples, including file hashes, network indicators (IPs, domains, URLs, PCAP indicators), host artifacts (file paths, registry keys, mutexes), and behavioral patterns, using tools like CyberChef, then defangs and exports them in standard threat-intel formats. Use for IOC extraction, threat indicator harvesting, or building detection content from a sample.

# Extracting IOCs from Malware Samples
## When to Use
- A malware analysis (static or dynamic) is complete and actionable indicators need to be extracted for defense teams
- Building blocklists for firewalls, proxies, and DNS sinkholes from analyzed samples
- Creating YARA rules, Snort/Suricata signatures, or SIEM detection content from malware artifacts
- Contributing to threat intelligence sharing platforms (MISP, OTX, ThreatConnect)
- Tracking malware campaigns by correlating IOCs across multiple samples
**Do not use** for IOCs from unverified sources without validation; false positives in blocklists can disrupt legitimate business operations.
