pivoting-on-iocs-across-data-sources

Pivots on indicators of compromise across multiple data sources by correlating a seed set of IOCs against logs to find co-occurring indicators, hosts, and timeframes that expand the investigation. Activates for requests to pivot on IOCs, correlate indicators across data sources, or expand an investigation from a seed indicator set.

Pivoting on IOCs Across Data Sources

When to Use

  • You have a seed set of IOCs (IPs, domains, hashes, URLs) and multiple log sources, and you want to find co-occurring indicators, affected hosts, and the activity timeframe.
  • You are expanding an investigation from initial indicators to the full scope.

Do not use raw, undeduplicated matching that floods on common indicators — anchor pivots on the specific seed set and report co-occurrence, not every mention.

Prerequisites

  • A seed IOC list and one or more log sources (CSV/JSON) containing indicator fields.

Workflow

Step 1: Match seeds and gather co-occurrence

python scripts/analyst.py pivot --seeds iocs.txt --logs events.csv

Finds log records matching any seed IOC, then reports the hosts, additional indicators, and time range co-occurring with the seeds.

Step 2: Rank new indicators

Surface newly co-occurring indicators (not in the seed set) ranked by how often they appear alongside seeds — candidates to add to the IOC set.

Step 3: Confirm and expand

Validate promising new indicators and re-run the pivot to widen scope iteratively.

Step 4: Document

Record matched hosts, the timeframe, and the expanded indicator set; defang in output.

Validation

  • Matches are anchored to the seed IOC set.
  • Co-occurring hosts/indicators and the time range are reported.
  • New indicators are ranked by co-occurrence with seeds; output is defanged.

Pitfalls

  • Common indicators (shared CDNs, OS update hosts) inflating co-occurrence — exclude allow-listed.
  • Field/format mismatches (IP vs CIDR, defanged vs plain) missing matches.
  • Time-zone inconsistencies skewing the activity window.
