Hunt threats and engineer detection rules from telemetry
Runs hypothesis-driven threat hunts and turns findings into Sigma or YARA detection rules mapped to ATT&CK, validated with Atomic Red Team.

Why it matters
Proactively hunt for adversary activity in security telemetry and write validated detection rules mapped to ATT&CK techniques, reducing dwell time and false positives across your SIEM and endpoint monitoring stack.
Outcomes
What it gets done
Build hypothesis-driven hunt queries against Sysmon, Windows Security, and endpoint logs to surface anomalous behavior
Write and convert Sigma/YARA detection rules with documented data sources and false-positive mitigation
Stack and correlate events across hosts to identify lateral movement, living-off-the-land techniques, and persistence
Validate detection logic using Atomic Red Team tests and historical log replay in authorized lab environments

Overview
Threat Hunting & Detection Engineering
This skill runs hypothesis-driven threat hunts and turns findings into Sigma or YARA detection rules mapped to ATT&CK techniques, using Sysmon and Windows Security event data, SIEM queries, and osquery. Use it to proactively hunt for adversary activity in telemetry or to write and validate detection rules, running live tests only against historical logs or in an authorized lab with Atomic Red Team.
What it does
This skill runs hypothesis-driven threat hunting and turns the results into detection rules. It starts by forming a specific hypothesis tied to named telemetry sources and explicit success criteria - for example, an attacker using living-off-the-land techniques for lateral movement, hunted through Sysmon event IDs 1/3/10 and Windows Security 4624/4648, with success defined as finding an anomalous parent process or a rare account log source. From there it baselines normal admin behavior and query patterns, looks for anomalies such as new services, encoded PowerShell, or unusual outbound traffic, and correlates signals like the same account logging into multiple hosts in a short window. Confirmed findings are formalized as a Sigma rule that documents its false-positive surface, its data-source field mapping, and a link to a response playbook.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use it to proactively hunt for adversary activity in telemetry, or to write and validate detection rules mapped to ATT&CK techniques. Do not use it to run attack simulations against unauthorized production systems - Atomic Red Team testing is explicitly scoped to an authorized lab only, or to replaying historical logs to verify recall.
Inputs and outputs
Input is telemetry - Sysmon and Windows Security event logs, general SIEM data - plus, where relevant, IOCs handed over from a malware-analysis pass or artifacts from a forensics case. Output is a documented hypothesis with its conclusion, and a Sigma detection rule that names its false-positive surface and its required data-source fields.
Integrations
Sigma CLI / sigmac converts rules across SIEM query languages; YARA covers file and memory matching; an ELK- or Splunk-style SIEM runs the queries; osquery supports endpoint-side hunting; Atomic Red Team validates detections, but strictly in an authorized lab.
Who it's for
Detection engineers and threat hunters who want a repeatable path from a stated hypothesis to a documented Sigma rule, and who hand off a confirmed intrusion to forensics or a malware sample to malware-analysis rather than working every angle themselves.
