I know some people often wonder if an Application Id they see in logs is a first-party Microsoft app, I wrote this KQL to pull down the list of apps from the MS Learn doc itself and create a table from it, so you can then query it and join to it etc - github.com/reprise99/Sentine…

Regex: when you want to match some characters, but not too many characters, but also maybe some other characters, but not those characters, unless they're followed by these other characters... you know what, never mind, let's just use brute force. 🤯🤯🤯

Log parsing is the process of analyzing and extracting relevant information from log data. It is a critical component of security monitoring and threat detection.

The choice of parsing method depends on the specific use case, the types of data being analyzed. You need all of the above available to engineers to quickly and effectively get data in front of your analysts

It drives me bonkers that not all SIEMs support this and why I really like analytics platforms as the basis for threat detection/response.

SIEM technology is like that one annoying co-worker who always has something to say but never really delivers.

The billions of dollars of investment into ChatGPT and OpenAI will be worth every cent even if all I ever use it for is to solve my regex problems.

by the end of the day detection is about reducing FPs to spot bad, any evaluation that doesn't account for that to me its just scratching the surface (and indirectly participate in alerts fatigue and ++ SOC analysis cost).

Anyone know of a Phishtank equivalent for malware. Something that has subjects, senders, attachment names?
