sigma VS HELK

Sigma rules https://github.com/SigmaHQ/sigma its value, I get it. Here’s a post https://www.linkedin.com/posts/nasreddinebencherchali_detection-blueteam-sigma-activity-7104868070069817344-mn91?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop detailing that 31 Sigma rules from the Sigma repository are triggering on different stages of the attack as described here https://thedfirreport.com/2023/08/28/html-smuggling-leads-to-domain-wide-ransomware/

Idea: A free and open-source web repository of Sigma detections where users can find, contribute, and suggest edits to detections. All user contributions will go through a StackExchange-style moderation queue. Built-in conversion from Sigma to the query language of your choice.

If you want more ideas/inspiration, or even just a starting point for baseline rule logic check out https://github.com/SigmaHQ/sigma https://github.com/SigmaHQ/sigma and look into the different rules folders there.

Agreed in general. But with stuff like SIGMA, I'd lean towards stuff should going into git. Better version control, your docs can be markdown and live right next to your threat library, you can strap on CI/CD (so you can deploy/run stuff as part of a pipeline). Confluence is a great start, but it doesn't scale well.

I created a Defender Advanced Hunting query based of the Sigma rule https://github.com/SigmaHQ/sigma/blob/master/rules/windows/process_creation/proc_creation_win_rundll32_webdav_client_susp_execution.yml

Utilizing that api and juniper notebooks is exactly why Hunting Elk is the way it from my understanding.

So you can actual do both defensive while practicing offensive. If you can set up a lab system with an attacker, for ease using kali, and defensive systems like a single windows box, or you can go balls to the wall if you have the resources and set up an AD environment and then ship all the logs to a SIEM system like Splunk or HELK (https://github.com/Cyb3rWard0g/HELK). Building off the environment you can also include Mordor (https://github.com/UraSecTeam/mordor)

HELK + Mordor combo https://github.com/Cyb3rWard0g/HELK

On a side note - I somehow have the feeling that you are trying to recreate https://github.com/Cyb3rWard0g/HELK

You can find tools that leverage ELK that aren't necessarily plugins. SIEM looks like it has some free component to it, too: https://github.com/Cyb3rWard0g/HELK https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-siem-free-open

HELK can help for the SIEM and detection part

MISP is a Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP), not a hunting platform. That would be something like HELK
