Episode 49: Indicators of Compromise and Threat Hunting
Threat hunting begins where automation ends. In this episode, we break down the lifecycle of Indicators of Compromise (IoCs)—how they are discovered, validated, and applied across tools and teams. From file hashes and domain names to process anomalies and registry keys, IoCs form the forensic breadcrumbs that analysts use to uncover hidden threats and trace attacker behavior.
You’ll also learn how to organize IoCs by severity, frequency, and confidence level, and how to use them in proactive threat hunts to identify dwell time, lateral movement, and persistent access. This episode connects the dots between evidence, behavior, and discovery, empowering you to think like a hunter and not just a responder. It's essential listening for those looking to stand out in the SOC—and score high on the CySA+. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com
