CLASSIFIED OPERATION: THREAT HUNTING & LIVE INCIDENT RESPONSE
STATUS: CONCLUDED | AUTHOR: MR. CIPHER-X [C|THE]


🛡️ Operation Abstract

This repository outlines a proactive Threat Hunting and Live Incident Response operation. Leveraging the Sysinternals Suite (Process Explorer, TCPView), the objective was to identify anomalous process behaviors, unearth hidden malware executables, and sever active Command and Control (C2) beaconing mechanisms on compromised endpoints.

🦠 Threat & Mitigation Matrix

Threat Vector Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) Detection Tool Tactical Mitigation / Response
Process Masquerading Fake svchost.exe running from C:\Users\Desktop\ Process Explorer Suspend process thread, map parent-child PID, extract hash.
C2 Beaconing Unauthorized outbound connection on Port 4444 TCPView Terminate connection, log remote IP address, block at firewall.
Privilege Escalation Unsigned binary executing with SYSTEM privileges AutoRuns / ProcExp Revoke permissions, isolate executable for reverse engineering.
