How To Build And Run A SOC for Incident Response - A Collection Of Resources
How to build a SOC / How to run a SOC
In this resource I'll locate some great resources for SOC, how to build a SOC, how to set-up a SOC and how to run and maintain your SOC once set up. I will also keep the links and tools up to date as I find new & better resources.
Let me know if you have comments or additions please.
1- Starting Point - Some theoretical content:
What is a SOC? A SOC is a Security operations centre, where you have people dedicated to the company's ongoing information security watching and responding. They need the tools to prevent what they can and discover+remediate what they can not. They need the skills to do this.

IP TO ASN via Teamcymru. IP To ASN allows one to map IP numbers to BGP prefixes and ASNs. These services come in various flavors, including whois (TCP 43), dns (UDP 53), HTTP (TCP 80) and HTTPS (TCP 443).
TOTALHASH totalhash provides static and dynamic analysis of malware samples. The data available on this site is free for non commercial use. If you have samples that you would like analyzed you may upload them to our anonymous FTP server.
Malwr malwr is a free malware analysis service and community launched in January 2011. You can submit files to it and receive the results of a complete dynamic analysis back.

Maltrail: Maltrail is a malicious traffic detection system, utilizing publicly available (black)lists containing malicious and/or generally suspicious trails, along with static trails compiled from various AV reports and custom user defined lists
FIDO is an orchestration layer used to automate the incident response process by evaluating, assessing and responding to malware. Fido?s primary purpose is to handle the heavy manual effort needed to evaluate threats coming from today's security stack and the large number of alerts generated by them. As an orchestration platform fido can make using your existing security tools more efficient and accurate by heavily reducing the manual effort needed to detect, notify and respond to attacks against a network.
Fast IR Collector by Sekoialab
This tool collects different artefacts on live windows and records the results in csv files. With the analyses of this artefacts, an early compromission can be detected.
SCOT:
The Sandia Cyber Omni Tracker (SCOT) is a cyber security incident response management system and knowledge base. Designed by cyber security incident responders, SCOT provides a new approach to manage security alerts, analyze data for deeper patterns, coordinate team efforts, and capture team knowledge. SCOT integrates with existing security applications to provide a consistent, easy to use interface that enhances analyst effectiveness.

Volatility autoruns pluginFinding persistence points (also called " auto-Start Extensibility Points", or ASEPs) is a recurring task of any investigation potentially involving malware.To make an analyst's life a BIT easier, I came up with theautorunsplugin.autorunsbasically automates most of the tasks you would need to run when trying to find out where malware is persisting from. Once all the autostart locations are found, they are matched with running processes in memory.
Malcom: Malware Communication Analyzer
Malcom is a tool designed to analyze a system's network communication using graphical representations of network traffic, and cross-reference them with known malware sources. This comes handy when analyzing how certain malware species try to communicate with the outside world.

IRMA Incident Response Malware Analysis. Today's defense is not only about learning about a file, but it is also getting a fine overview of the incident you dealt with: where / when a malicious file has been seen, who submitted a hash, where a hash has been noticed, which anti-virus detects it. IRMA intends to be an open-source platform designed to help identifying and analyzing malicious files.
