mukul975 cb8d79e068 Map all 754 skills to MITRE ATT&CK v19.1
- Add validated mitre_attack frontmatter to all 754 skills (286 distinct
  techniques), verified against MITRE ATT&CK v19.1 via the official
  mitreattack-python library: 0 revoked, deprecated, or invalid IDs
- Curate precise per-skill technique IDs for forensics, malware-analysis,
  threat-intel, and red-team skills (e.g. DCSync -> T1003.006,
  Kerberoasting -> T1558.003, Pass-the-Ticket -> T1550.003)
- Reconcile v19.1 tactic restructuring: Defense Evasion split into
  Stealth (TA0005) and Defense Impairment (TA0112); revoked T1562.*
  family and T1070.001/.002 remapped to active equivalents (T1685.*)
- Normalize word-split tags across 35 skills (remove filename-derived
  stopword tags, add semantic cybersecurity tags)
- Add api-reference.md for 3 skills that were missing it
- Update README ATT&CK section with accurate v19.1 tactic distribution

# Implementing SIEM Use Case Tuning
## Overview
SIEM use case tuning reduces alert fatigue by systematically analyzing detection rules for false positive rates, adjusting thresholds based on environmental baselines, creating context-aware whitelists, and measuring detection efficacy through precision/recall metrics. This skill covers tuning workflows for Splunk correlation searches and Elastic detection rules, including statistical baselining, exclusion list management, and alert-to-incident conversion tracking.
## When to Use
- When deploying or configuring implementing siem use case tuning capabilities in your environment
- When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
- When building or improving security architecture for this domain
- When conducting security assessments that require this implementation
## Prerequisites
- Splunk Enterprise/Cloud with ES or Elastic SIEM with detection rules enabled
- Historical alert data (minimum 30 days) for baseline analysis
- Python 3.8+ with `requests` library
- SIEM admin credentials or API tokens
## Steps
1. Export current alert volumes per detection rule from SIEM
2. Calculate false positive rate per rule using analyst disposition data
3. Identify top noise-generating rules by volume and FP rate
4. Build environmental baselines for thresholds (e.g., login counts, process spawns)
5. Create whitelist entries for known-good entities (service accounts, scanners)
6. Adjust rule thresholds using statistical analysis (mean + N standard deviations)
7. Measure tuning impact via before/after precision and alert-to-incident ratio
## Expected Output
JSON report with per-rule tuning recommendations including current FP rate, suggested threshold adjustments, whitelist entries, and projected alert reduction percentages.
