THREAT HUNTERS
Threat Hunting is the process of searching for
cyber threats that are lurking undetected in the
network, datasets, and endpoints. The process
involves digging
deep into the environment to check for malicious actors. To avoid such attacks, deep into the environment to check for malicious actors. To avoid such attacks,
threat hunting is critical. Attackers or hackers can remain undetected within the threat hunting is critical. Attackers or hackers can remain undetected within the
network for months, silently collecting data login credentials and gathering your network for months, silently collecting data login credentials and gathering your
con?dential information
Over time, threat hunting and incident response
approaches have improved. Advanced methodologies
are being used by organizations to identify risks
by using professional threat hunters even before
damage or loss occurs. Our Threat Hunting
Professional Online Training Course enhances your
abilities and assists you in comprehending
threats and their goals. Threat Hunting
Professional is an online training course created
by InfosecTrain that teaches you how to seek
risks proactively and become a better-balanced
penetra- tion tester. Our skilled educators will
teach you the fundamentals and procedures
of threat hunting, as well as step-by-step
instructions for hunting for threats across the

InfosecTrain has created a few essential
interview questions and answers that can help
you in the interviews here are they
What is Threat Hunting? Cyber threat hunting is a
type of active cyber defense. Its the practice
of scanning across networks proactively and
repeatedly to find and identify advanced threats

  • Can you differentiate between Threat Hunting and
    Pen Testing?
  • Pen testing reveals how an adversary might get
    access to your environment. It highlights the
    dangers of not protecting the environment by
    demonstrating how various vulnerabilities might
    be exploited and exposing risky IT practices.
  • Is it possible to find nothing in some Threat
    Hunting exercises?
  • Yes, it is theoretically possible to find nothing
    in some threat hunting exercises, but it is not
    a complete waste of time because we may discover
    a few other vulnerabilities that we didnt ever
    experience or thought existed. So, it is always
    good to conduct a thorough threat hunting
    process even if we dont find any potential
    threats.

4 Can we utilize whats detected in the hunt to
  • improve organizations security?
  • Yes, without a doubt. Security teams can use the
    threat data obtained during a hunt to understand
    why they couldnt detect the threats and then
    devise a strategy for detecting the suspicions
    in future attacks. Skilled hunters understand
    that a large part of their job entails gathering
    danger data that can be utilized to develop more
    robust, more effective defenses.
  • What is MITRE ATTCK?
  • MITRE ATTCK means MITRE Adversarial Tactics,
    Techniques, and Common Knowledge, and it is a
    trademark of MITRE (ATTCK). The MITRE ATTCK
    framework is a collected body of knowledge and a
    paradigm for cyber adversary behavior,
    representing the many stages of an adversarys
    attack life cycle and the technologies they are
    known to target.
  • What is the use of Mitre ATTCK?
  • Threat hunters, red teamers, and defenders use
    the MITRE ATTCK paradigm to identify
    cyberattacks better and evaluate an
    organizations vulnerability.

7 What are the different types of Threat
  • Hunting techniques?
  • Different Threat Hunting techniques are
  • Target-Driven
  • Technique-Driven
  • Volumetric Analysis
  • Frequency Analysis
  • Clustering Analysis
  • Grouping Analysis

8 What is the primary goal of Threat Hunting? The
purpose of threat hunting is to keep an eye on
everyday operations and traffic across the
network, looking for any irregularities that
could lead to a full-fledged breach.

10 What is the difference between Threat
Intelligence
  • and Threat Hunting?
  • Threat hunting and threat intelligence are two
    separate security disciplines that can
    complement each other.
  • Subscribing to a threat intelligence feed, on the
    other hand, does not eliminate the requirement
    to threat hunt your network. Even if hazards
    havent been detected in the wild, a competent
    threat hunter can detect them.
  • Can you differentiate between Incident Response
    and Threat Hunting?
  • Threat hunting is a hypothesis-driven process
    that involves looking for threats that have
    slipped through the cracks and are now lurking
    in the network. Incident response is a reactive
    approach that occurs when an intrusion detection
    system recognizes an issue and creates an alert,
    whereas threat hunting is a proactive strategy.
  • What is proactive Threat Hunting?
  • The process of proactively exploring across
    networks or datasets to detect and respond to
    sophisticated cyberthreats that circumvent
    standard rule, or signature-based security
    controls is known as proactive threat hunting.

13 Do you think a Threat Hunter must examine
  • multiple areas?
  • Yes, a threat hunter and the rest of the team
    should be looking into various areas. Just
    because youve come up with a certain theory
    doesnt imply that you should limit your
    investigation to that region. Rather, the threat
    hunter must look into other areas in order to
    acquire a complete picture of your IT system.
    This includes your regular IT systems, virtual
    machines, servers, and even your production
    environment make sure you have the appropriate
    backups in place in these cases.
  • 14What are the two most popular types of Threat
    Hunting exercises?

Continuous Monitor or Testing Mode
On-Demand Investigation Mode

15 What is data leakage?
Data leakage is defined as the separation or
departure of a data packet from the location
where it was supposed to be kept in technical
terms, particularly as it relates to the threat
hunter.
