IOC Investigation & OSINT is the practice of hunting indicators of compromise — malicious IPs, file hashes, phishing infrastructure — using open-source intelligence, and it's core to Malware Analysts reverse-engineering samples and SOC Analysts triaging alerts in a security operations center. Incident Response Analysts lean on the same techniques to scope a breach's blast radius during live investigations.
