Threat Hunting

Needle in the haystack. Found

Quickly identify anomalous behavior and catch targeted threats

Overview

Effective threat hunting isn't just about finding more data, it’s about finding the right data. GreyNoise empowers your hunt team to adopt the PEAK Framework by correlating your internal traffic against our real-time map of internet-wide mass scanning.

By using GreyNoise to filter out opportunistic probes, benign scanners, and botnet noise, you reveal the statistically significant anomalies that represent targeted attacks. Stop chasing false positives and focus on the signals that actually threaten your perimeter.

How GreyNoise
Helps You Hunt Smarter

Focus effort on highest risks

Eliminate time-consuming research of benign and opportunistic scanning, allowing hunters to focus on infrastructure actually used by threat actors.

Supports threat research and hypothesis development

Hunters can use GreyNoise to conduct threat research, validate assumptions, and explore attack vectors in order to develop hypotheses.

Correlate isolated incidents

GreyNoise helps threat hunters link isolated incidents to larger campaigns by mapping attacker infrastructure and patterns, connecting logged IPs to those exploiting relevant vulnerabilities.

NAME
Description & Use
HTTP Method
HTTP methods used (e.g., GET, POST). Provides context on attacker request.
Protocol Data
HTTP Path
Web paths targeted during scanning (e.g., /robots.txt, /admin). Reveals reconnaissance goals.
Protocol Data
HTTP Request Authorization
Authorization headers observed in HTTP requests. May reveal brute-force attempts.
Protocol Data
HTTP Request Cookies
Cookies included in HTTP requests. Adds context on reconnaissance or exploit attempts.
Protocol Data
HTTP Request Headers
Headers used in HTTP requests. Useful for tool fingerprinting.
Protocol Data
HTTP Request Origin
Origin IPs or addresses set in HTTP headers. May indicate spoofing.
Protocol Data

Exploitation Intelligence
Exploitation Details Attack Vector
The method attackers use to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., network, local, adjacent). Helps assess exposure across internet-facing vs. internal assets.
Exploitation Intelligence
Exploitation Details EPSS Score
EPSS score (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) associated with the exploitation.
Exploitation Intelligence
Exploitation Details Exploit Found
Indicates whether a working exploit is publicly available. Confirms attacker capability and should increase remediation priority.
Exploitation Intelligence
Exploitation Details Registered in KEV
Whether exploitation has been registered in the KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) database.
