False positives
HISTORICAL, HUNT ONLY: do not block on this. These indicators come from published reports and do not meet the bar of the live sweep. 4 indicators. Evidence: 4 listed only by scanner / honeypot feeds (not counted as evidence). No feed sighting date exists for any of them. Screened against reserved space, MISP warninglists (CDN / cloud / scanners / top sites), GreyNoise when enriched, and sinkhole address lists. Re-validate against last_seen before blocking: infrastructure is re-assigned.

How to deploy on Sigma

  1. 1.Convert for your SIEM with sigma-cli / pySigma, e.g. sigma convert -t splunk -p sysmon rule.yml.
  2. 2.Run it as a hunt first: every rule ships as status experimental.
  3. 3.Promote to an alert once a week of results is clean on your data.

Check · The processing pipeline must map the logsource (firewall, dns, proxy, webserver, process_creation) to your field names.
