collecting-indicators-of-compromise

collecting-indicators-of-compromise is a skill for Claude Code from 26zl/cybersec-toolkit. It costs 88 tokens per session (2,784 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of collecting-indicators-of-compromise, MIT.

A guide to collecting indicators of compromise, such as suspicious IP addresses, domains, file hashes, URLs, and email artifacts. These are technical clues that can show where an attack came from or what it touched.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during and after incidents to gather indicators from logs, endpoint data, memory, disk images, and network captures, then share or enrich them in threat-intelligence systems.
Why use it?
It turns scattered incident evidence into structured information that security tools and teams can use for detection, blocking, and threat sharing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

collecting-indicators-of-compromise scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/agent.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 273 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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)

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
