Incident Response

A comprehensive guide to proactive threat hunting covering hypothesis-driven hunting methodologies, the threat hunting maturity model (HMM0 through HMM4), structured hunting frameworks using MITRE ATT&CK, data source requirements for effective hunts (EDR telemetry, network flow, DNS logs, authentication events, cloud audit trails), hunt playbook development, statistical and machine learning techniques for anomaly detection, tool comparison (Elastic, Splunk, CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Sentinel, Velociraptor), hunt team composition, measuring hunt effectiveness through true positive rates, mean time to detect improvements, and novel finding counts, and building a sustainable threat hunting program that scales.
