# Standards and Frameworks Reference
## IOC Types and Classification
### File-Based IOCs
| Type | Description | Example |
|------|-------------|---------|
| MD5 | 128-bit hash | d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e |
| SHA-1 | 160-bit hash | da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 |
| SHA-256 | 256-bit hash | e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855 |
| Imphash | Import hash | PE import table hash for family grouping |
| SSDeep | Fuzzy hash | Context-triggered piecewise hash for similarity |
| TLSH | Trend Micro LSH | Locality-sensitive hash for near-duplicate detection |
### Network IOCs
| Type | Description | Example |
|------|-------------|---------|
| IPv4 Address | C2 server IP | 192.0.2.1 |
| Domain | C2 domain | malware-c2.example.com |
| URL | Full URL path | https://evil.com/payload.exe |
| JA3/JA3S | TLS fingerprint | Client/server TLS handshake hash |
| JARM | TLS server fingerprint | Active TLS server scanning fingerprint |
| User-Agent | HTTP User-Agent | Custom UA strings in beacons |
### Host-Based IOCs
| Type | Description | Example |
|------|-------------|---------|
| Mutex | Named mutex | Global\{GUID} |
| Registry Key | Registry modification | HKLM\SOFTWARE\...\Run |
| Scheduled Task | Persistence task | schtasks /create ... |
| Service Name | Malicious service | Malicious service installation |
| Named Pipe | IPC mechanism | \\.\pipe\name |
| PDB Path | Debug path | C:\Users\dev\project.pdb |
## STIX 2.1 Indicator Patterns
### Pattern Syntax
```
[file:hashes.'SHA-256' = 'abc123...']
[ipv4-addr:value = '1.2.3.4']
[domain-name:value = 'evil.com']
[url:value = 'https://evil.com/payload']
[file:name = 'malware.exe']
[email-addr:value = 'attacker@evil.com']
[network-traffic:dst_ref.type = 'ipv4-addr' AND network-traffic:dst_port = 443]
```
## YARA Rule Structure
```
rule RuleName {
meta:
author = "Analyst"
description = "Detection rule"
reference = "URL"
date = "YYYY-MM-DD"
hash = "SHA256"
tlp = "white"
strings:
$text = "string" ascii wide nocase
$hex = { 4D 5A 90 00 }
$regex = /pattern[0-9]+/
condition:
uint16(0) == 0x5A4D and filesize < 5MB and any of them
}
```
## PE File Format
- **DOS Header**: MZ signature (0x5A4D)
- **PE Header**: PE signature, machine type, timestamp
- **Optional Header**: Entry point, image base, subsystem
- **Section Table**: .text, .data, .rdata, .rsrc, .reloc
- **Import Table**: DLLs and functions used
- **Export Table**: Functions exported (DLLs)
- **Resource Table**: Embedded resources (icons, strings, configs)

# Malware IOC Extraction Workflows
## Workflow 1: Static Analysis Pipeline
```
[Malware Sample] --> [Hash Generation] --> [PE Parsing] --> [String Extraction] --> [IOC Filtering]
|
v
[YARA Scanning]
|
v
[STIX Bundle]
```
### Steps:
1. **Sample Acquisition**: Obtain sample from MalwareBazaar, VirusTotal, or incident response
2. **Hash Calculation**: Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, imphash, ssdeep hashes
3. **PE Analysis**: Parse headers, sections, imports, exports, resources, timestamps
4. **String Extraction**: Extract ASCII/Unicode strings, apply IOC regex patterns
5. **IOC Filtering**: Remove false positives (private IPs, common DLLs, benign domains)
6. **YARA Classification**: Scan with community and custom YARA rules
7. **Output**: Generate STIX 2.1 bundle with extracted indicators
## Workflow 2: Dynamic Analysis Pipeline
```
[Malware Sample] --> [Sandbox Submission] --> [Detonation] --> [Artifact Collection]
|
+------------+------------+
| | |
v v v
[Network] [File Sys] [Registry]
[PCAPs] [Changes] [Changes]
| | |
+------------+------------+
|
v
[IOC Consolidation]
```
### Steps:
1. **Sandbox Setup**: Configure isolated VM with network monitoring
2. **Sample Submission**: Submit to CAPE/Cuckoo sandbox with execution parameters
3. **Execution Monitoring**: Monitor for 3-5 minutes of runtime behavior
4. **Network Capture**: Extract DNS queries, HTTP/HTTPS traffic, raw connections
5. **File System Analysis**: Identify created, modified, and deleted files
6. **Registry Analysis**: Capture registry key changes for persistence indicators
7. **Process Analysis**: Document spawned processes, injections, privilege escalation
8. **Consolidation**: Merge static and dynamic IOCs into unified report
## Workflow 3: Automated IOC Pipeline
```
[Feed/Alert] --> [Auto-Download] --> [Static Analysis] --> [Sandbox] --> [Enrichment] --> [Share]
|
v
[VirusTotal Check]
|
v
[MISP/OpenCTI Upload]
```
### Steps:
1. **Trigger**: New sample from malware feed, email gateway, or EDR alert
2. **Download**: Retrieve sample securely to analysis infrastructure
3. **Static Scan**: Automated PE parsing, string extraction, YARA scanning
4. **Dynamic Analysis**: Submit to sandbox for behavioral analysis
5. **Enrichment**: Check hashes against VirusTotal, cross-reference with TI platforms
6. **Deduplication**: Remove already-known IOCs from output
7. **Sharing**: Upload new IOCs to MISP/OpenCTI for team consumption
