# analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence A skill that scores cyber-campaign evidence against competing hypotheses and returns a confidence level for attribution. Useful when an incident report has to defend its conclusion. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 464 installs · ★ 35034 - Author: mahipal - License: Apache-2.0 · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/tree/HEAD/skills/analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-08-31 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence ## What it does The skill walks an analyst through a fixed process. Evidence gets collected by category first: infrastructure overlap, TTP consistency, malware code similarity, operational patterns, language artifacts, victimology. Each item carries a confidence weight. Then ACH takes over. Every piece of evidence is marked consistent, inconsistent or neutral against each candidate actor. Consistent evidence adds to the score, inconsistent subtracts twice as much. The hypothesis with the fewest contradictions wins, not the one with the most matches. The final score maps to HIGH, MODERATE or LOW confidence. Ready-made Python functions ship with it: an `AttributionAnalyzer` class for tracking evidence and ranking hypotheses, a comparison of two campaigns across IPs, domains, ASNs and registrars, and TTP matching through `attackcti`. You need Python 3.9+ with `attackcti`, `stix2` and `networkx`, plus access to MISP or OpenCTI. Skip the threat intel platform and the comparison steps have nothing to compare against. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --path skills/analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills/tree/HEAD/skills/analyzing-campaign-attribution-evidence/SKILL.md ## When to use it - pull scattered incident evidence into one picture - decide how confidently an actor can be named - check two campaigns for shared infrastructure - test an actor hypothesis against contradicting facts - justify a confidence level in a client report ## Example prompts - work through the evidence for this campaign and score the attribution confidence - compare infrastructure between the two campaigns: IPs, domains, ASNs - run ACH across three actor hypotheses and show me where they conflict ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

This skill covers collecting and weighting attribution indicators using the Diamond Model and ACH (Analysis of Competing Hypotheses), analyzing infrastructure overlaps, TTP consistency, malware code similarities, operational timing patterns, and language artifacts to build confidence-weighted attribution assessments. ## When to Use - When investigating security incidents that require analyzing campaign attribution evidence - When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain - When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type - When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques ## Prerequisites - Python 3.9+ with `attackcti`, `stix2`, `networkx` libraries - Access to threat intelligence platforms (MISP, OpenCTI) - Understanding of Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis - Familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK threat group profiles - Knowledge of malware analysis and infrastructure tracking techniques ## Key Concepts ### Attribution Evidence Categories 1. **Infrastructure Overlap**: Shared C2 servers, domains, IP ranges, hosting providers ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 6984c6695c22f421 The third-party file has ended.
