Turning Behavior Into Detection

  • Raw events are not conclusions. Convert them into scored heuristics and IOCs.
  • Each suspicious behavior gets a weight; sum the weights; threshold the total to a verdict.
  • Extract IOCs for sharing: file hashes, dropped file names, C2 domains/IPs, registry keys, mutexes.
  • This is exactly the behavior scorer you build in Lab 4.
Key Takeaway

A good report ranks behaviors by confidence, not by how many events fired.
