Threat Intelligence Tradecraft

This is a work in progress

Intent:

• Create an opensource/free curriculum for learning threat intelligence tradecraft to include:

• 1: Cyber Threat Intelligence and Requirements
• 2: Intrusion Analysis
• 3: Collection Sources
• 4: Analysis and Dissemination of Intelligence
• 5: Higher-Order Analysis and Attribution

• Note: I plan on heavily modeling after/emulating content from commercially available courses

Short Term Goals:

• Utilize entirely free (as in beer) or OSS tools
• Deliver via step by step guides, articles,presentations
• ETA: ~June 2018 (no real idea when this will be done)

Long Term Goals:

• Develop Vagrantfile/VM for module exercises
• Develop MOOC format using openedX with tests

Super Long Term Goals:

• Host Website with MOOC

• Create booklet/document format to be used as a digital or printable portable guide

• Develop Videos (maybe)

• Contact: If you would like to help me in this project please shoot an email to: [email protected]
