## What it does

The skill kicks in when you wire up a new feed — ThreatConnect, Recorded Future, Mandiant Advantage, MISP or AlienVault OTX — and need to know what to do with it. It walks a five-step workflow: enumerate sources, score them on update frequency and accuracy, pull data over TAXII 2.1 or a REST API, map indicators to the STIX 2.1 schema, then link them to `threat-actor` and `malware` objects with `relationship` objects.

Next comes deduplication on a composite key of normalized value plus type, and enrichment through VirusTotal, PassiveTotal and Shodan. Enriched indicators get pushed to SIEM, firewalls and EDR, each with its own TTL by indicator type.

You need a TIP to write into, API keys for at least one commercial feed, and the `taxii2-client` library. One thing the skill is blunt about: redistributing RED-classified intelligence breaks sharing agreements. Indicators scoring below 50 confidence should drive detection-only rules, not blocking — otherwise you risk cutting off legitimate traffic.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --path skills/analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills --skill analyzing-threat-intelligence-feeds -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-threat-intelligence-feeds/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- judge the signal-to-noise ratio of a new feed
- normalize mixed IOC formats into one STIX 2.1 schema
- strip duplicates arriving from several feeds at once
- enrich IOCs with VirusTotal, PassiveTotal and Shodan data
- push indicators to SIEM and EDR with per-type TTLs

## Example prompts
- parse this new MISP feed and tell me which indicators to keep
- normalize these IOCs to STIX 2.1 and tie them to a campaign
- check the feed for duplicates and set TTLs for domains and hashes

# Analyzing Threat Intelligence Feeds

## When to Use

Use this skill when:
- Ingesting new commercial or OSINT threat feeds and assessing their signal-to-noise ratio
- Normalizing heterogeneous IOC formats (STIX 2.1, OpenIOC, YARA, Sigma) into a unified schema
- Evaluating feed freshness, fidelity, and relevance to the organization's threat profile
- Building automated enrichment pipelines that correlate IOCs against SIEM events

**Do not use** this skill for raw packet capture analysis or live incident triage without first establishing a CTI baseline.

## Prerequisites

- Access to a Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) such as ThreatConnect, MISP, or OpenCTI
- API keys for at least one commercial feed (Recorded Future, Mandiant Advantage, or VirusTotal Enterprise)
- TAXII 2.1 client library (taxii2-client Python package or equivalent)
- Role with read/write permissions to the TIP's indicator database

## Workflow

### Step 1: Enumerate and Prioritize Feed Sources

List all available feeds categorized by type (commercial, government, ISAC, OSINT):
- Commercial: Recorded Future, Mandiant Advantage, CrowdStrike Falcon Intelligence
- Government: CISA AIS (Automated Indicator Sharing), FBI InfraGard, MS-ISAC
- OSINT: AlienVault OTX, Abuse.ch, PhishTank, Emerging Threats
```
