Collect and organize victim postings from ransomware data leak sites through tracking feeds. Analyze group activity over time, compare sector and country patterns, and produce threat reports with risk assessments and defensive recommendations.
Develop network monitoring for signs that may precede ransomware encryption. Uses detection rules, linked log events, and threat intelligence to identify suspicious activity and define how alerts should be investigated, prioritized, and escalated.
Create a ransomware response playbook aligned with CISA guidance and NIST CSF, a cybersecurity framework. Organize preparation, detection, containment, recovery, and lessons learned into actionable checklists for readiness reviews and simulated incident exercises.
Set up decoy files on endpoints and shared folders to detect possible ransomware activity. Monitor modifications, deletions, and renaming with file monitoring tools, connect events to alerts, and test whether the detection and response process works.
Use when you need to check whether an organisation/domain has been claimed by a ransomware group, profile a specific ransomware group (TTPs, leak-site infra, IOCs, YARA), or aggregate ransomware victim claims by country/sector/timeframe. Backed by ransomware.live's leak-site scrapes — 27k+ victims across 330+ groups. Commonly invoked by /domain-investigation, /ransomware-ecosystem, /threat-actor-profiling, and detection-engineering workflows. Reads $RANSOMWARE_LIVE.

Build a ransomware response playbook for security monitoring teams, covering detection, containment, eradication, and recovery. Include log queries, decision trees, evidence collection, backup restoration, and incident reviews to prepare consistent procedures before an attack occurs.
Analyze how ransomware encrypts files and manages keys to assess whether decryption is feasible. Examine implementation weaknesses, check existing decryptors, and document recovery options with technical reasons for the assessment.
Detects early-stage ransomware indicators in network traffic before encryption begins, including initial access broker activity, command-and-control beaconing, credential harvesting, reconnaissance scanning, and staging behavior. Uses network detection tools (Zeek, Suricata, Arkime), SIEM correlation rules, and threat intelligence feeds to identify ransomware precursor patterns such as Cobalt Strike beacons, Mimikatz network signatures, and RDP brute-force attempts. Activates for requests involving pre-ransomware detection, network-based ransomware indicators, or early warning ransomware monitoring.

Build real-time detection for ransomware encryption by combining changes in data randomness with file modification rates, renames, and process activity. Define behavioral scores and response thresholds, then check detection accuracy and monitoring overhead.
Deploy decoy files and monitor changes, renames, and deletions for early signs of ransomware. This skill guides Python monitoring, email, Slack, and syslog alerts, plus simulated file operations to verify that the detection and notification pipeline works.
Investigate ransomware payment addresses using public blockchain records. Trace transfers, group addresses likely controlled by the same entity, identify links to exchanges or mixing services, and organize findings into a report for incident responders and investigators.
Analyze Zeek and NetFlow records for ransomware-related activity, including regular callbacks to attacker infrastructure, TOR connections, and possible data exfiltration. Combine indicators into risk scores and structured reports with timelines to support threat hunting and incident investigation.
Deploys canary files (honeytokens) across file systems to detect ransomware encryption activity in real time. Uses strategically placed decoy documents monitored via file integrity monitoring or OS-level watchdogs to trigger alerts when ransomware modifies or encrypts them. Activates for requests involving ransomware canary deployment, honeyfile setup, deception-based ransomware detection, or file integrity monitoring for encryption.

Builds a structured ransomware incident response playbook aligned with the CISA StopRansomware Guide and NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Covers preparation, detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident phases with actionable checklists. Activates for requests involving ransomware response planning, CISA compliance, incident response playbook creation, or ransomware preparedness assessment.
