🚨New post on @THOR_Collective Dispatch🚨 “Aligning Risk Management and Threat-Informed Defense Practices (Part 2)” by Micah VanFossen What happens when you sync risk, controls, and threat intel to drive real-security outcomes. dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/aligning-r... #thrunting #grc

🚨New post on @THOR_Collective Dispatch🚨 Purple teaming isn’t shiny. It’s delays, blockers, tickets & pivots. And that’s okay. open.substack.com/pub/thorcoll... #thrunting #PurpleTeaming

Have you ever run the best hunt of your life and then forget how two weeks later? Same. Meet the PEAK Threat Hunting Template. Built to make your hunts repeatable, reviewable, and impossible to lose. 👉 Read on THOR Collective Dispatch - dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/the-peak-t...

🎤 The Autonomous SOC (Taylor’s Version) Guest post with @kassafras09.bsky.social AI hype is loud. Most teams are just automating chaos. Fix the basics first. Then scale the magic. Read it on @thorcollective.bsky.social Dispatch. dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/the-autono...

In the latest @thorcollective.bsky.social guest post, Sam Hanson breaks down two TTP-driven hunts — KurtLar_SCADA and a weird .NET Modbus binary — proving simple hypotheses > chasing IOCs. IOCs show where the fire was. TTPs show where it will be. dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/hunting-be...

October delivered AI agents, time mastery, and purple team curveballs. From scaling hunts like code to aligning GRC with threat-informed defense, this month’s Dispatch lineup from @thorcollective.bsky.social hit every layer of the stack. Full recap here: dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/dispatch-d...

Finding nothing ≠ failing the hunt. Sometimes “nothing” is the loudest signal that your defenses worked. @jotunvillur.bsky.social breaks down how to measure the quiet wins in in one of my favorite @thorcollective.bsky.social Dispatch posts: dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/measuring-...

In this week’s @thorcollective.bsky.social Dispatch, Sam Hanson lays out how to move beyond indicator-based hunting and build detection muscle that actually scales. 👉 dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/hunting-be...

If tstats gives you speed and eventstats gives you context...timechart gives you shape. This week’s @thorcollective.bsky.social SPL Dispatch breaks down how to use timechart to uncover rhythm, automation, and the a cron job masquerading as “normal.” dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/the-shape-...

Threat hunting falls apart when your “docs” live in Slack threads. Part 2 of the @thorcollective.bsky.social Dispatch Agentic Threat Hunting series covers the first step to scaling: put your hunts in a GitHub repo and give your AI bestie memory. dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/agentic-th...

We at @thorcollective.bsky.social are waking you up before September ends, because a new Ask-a-Thrunt3r episode just dropped with: 2K subscriber milestone 🎉 15 baseline examples The great data vs. data debate Plus: Is Git the future of hunting collab? 🎧: dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/ask-a-thru...

From temporal to behavioral, baselines are the thrunter’s compass. September’s Dispatch from @thorcollective.bsky.social shows how to use them to sharpen the hunt and includes ten baseline hunts you should be running now. 🔗 dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/dispatch-d...

You can’t find weird if you don’t know normal. @thorcollective.bsky.social just dropped 10 baseline hunts you can shine in the dark parts of your env and magnify the adversaries from the noise. Join us for all the thrunting 👉: open.substack.com/pub/thorcoll... #threathunting #infosec

Summertime sadness hit the Dispatch hard: sunscreen > screen time. 🌞 But the hunts never stopped, and this month we’re back with fresh chaos, AI wisdom, and a noob’s-eye view of DEF CON. 👉 Catch the @thorcollective.bsky.social August Dispatch: dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/dispatch-d...

The Quiet War isn’t loud breaches or ransomware. It’s subtle. AI-driven adversaries are blending in and evading detection. Hunters must shift: hunt intent, not just indicators. 👉 New guest post by Damien Lewke on @thorcollective.bsky.social Dispatch: dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/the-quiet-...

What happens when you throw yourself into DEFCON for the very first time? You get Line Con, Noob Village wisdom, hacker merch battles, Flipper Zero impulse buys, Hacker Jeopardy chaos, and the realization that DEFCON is not just a con, it is a community. dispatch.thorcollective.com/p/my-first-d...
