style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">It is very important to employ threat hunting tools to detect any cyber attacks that may take place in your organization. Most of the security agencies such as the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), NSA (National Security Agency) and CISA (Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency) emphasize the need for organisations to incorporate proactive threat hunting in their cybersecurity framework.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Threat_Hunting\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is Threat Hunting?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Threat hunting refers to the process of proactive analysis to identify cyber threats that might be sneaking around an organization\u2019s infrastructure. The procedure of threat hunting involves deep analysis and monitoring of all the devices and data on the network and seeking malicious actors who might have broken primary security defences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Threat hunting is becoming a part of a crucial strategy to strengthen the defence of an organization. Cybercriminals persistently attempt to evade being detected while exploiting unauthorized access to an organization\u2019s infrastructure. Thus, threat hunting provides a comprehensive set of tools and services to strengthen the cybersecurity of an organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10655\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10655\" style=\"width: 604px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10655\" src=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Ransomware-Detection-1024x641-1.jpg\" alt=\"Source: Duke Today\" width=\"604\" height=\"378\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10655\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Source: Duke Today<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Ransomware_Detection\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is Ransomware Detection?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ransomware has an immensely adverse impact on the finance and reputation of the victim company.

The historical data of attacks is present in the form of threat intelligence. Thus, threat intelligence helps in developing tools that have some parametric attributes such as deep feature extractor, multi-class classifier, etc. These attributes are used to set out a procedure of threat hunting for ransomware detection.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, threat intelligence is also used to develop hypotheses, which helps in predicting threats. Thus, a defence mechanism is integrated in the cyber security infrastructure to detect malware that could lead to a ransomware attack. There is some specific set of methodologies for ransomware detection, which are built upon the concept of threat hunting.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Techniques_of_Ransomware_Detection_through_Threat_Hunting\"><\/span><strong>Techniques of Ransomware Detection through Threat Hunting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"648\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/A-classification-of-malware-detection-techniques.png\" alt=\"A classification of malware detection techniques\" class=\"wp-image-10658\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Threat hunting is a continuous process of looking for threats and the collected information is incorporated into the existing security frameworks. Ransomware threat hunting involves a mixed process of malware analysis and automation. Cybercriminals often hide their attack scripts in the malware software. There is a categorical umbrella of techniques that are used for ransomware\/malware detection. The three types of detection techniques are :<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Signature-based_Ransomware_Detection\"><\/span><strong>Signature-based Ransomware Detection<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this threat hunting procedure, the hash value of ransomware samples is compared with known signatures. This provides a quick and static analysis of the system. It is the first level of defence.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Behaviour-based_Detection_Method\"><\/span><strong>Behaviour-based Detection Method<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behavioral understanding of attackers is important to develop hypotheses. In this method, historical data and attack vectors are recorded to provide information on the Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). This method compares IOCs to the average behavioural baseline. There are three major methods for comparing the detected behaviour with baseline.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Traffic Analysis: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The threat hunters examine the traffic of the network and its connections. The volume of data transmission and its sources are also analysed. They try to identify off-site servers and ransomware decryption keys. This method requires immense time for analysis and it can sometimes yield false positives.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>File System Changes: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This method is useful to detect abnormal file executions and multiple renaming. When there is a surge in multiple executions in a day, it is a cause for alarm. Files containing ransomware scripts can stay in the system for a long period without being executed. Threat hunters look for the creation of a file that has larger entropy than the original file. They also observe the enumeration and encryption of such files.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>API Calls: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This method requires examination of the API calls. This means that it checks the commands that are being executed by the files.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deception-based_Detection\"><\/span><strong>Deception-based Detection<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This technique is based on tricking and baiting attackers. This is carried out using a false server or file repository which is not normally used by users. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/UW8Mnpe8Cniw7cLtCu\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"we are looking for you gif\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Source: Giphy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Proactive_is_the_Key_to_Detection_and_Hunting\"><\/span><strong>\u2018Proactive\u2019 is the Key to Detection and Hunting<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Threat hunting and ransomware detection are part of an essential proactive defence strategy. It means an organization can be defended against every kind of attack. The crucial element of defence is comprehending all the possibilities of attack and developing a defence mechanism.
