ORG THREAT INTEL TURNED INTO RUNS

This playbook separates the threat-feed items usable against you from the ones you can stop carrying.

What you get

Explore the
platform.

  • Verdict per item

    Every intel item comes back used, did not work, or not yours.

  • Command trail

    Each verdict shows the command that ran and the output it returned.

  • Graph node per item

    Matched items become typed nodes on the asset they belong to, linked back to the evidence.

  • Ruled-out items

    Items that matched no owned asset, or failed when attempted, are recorded as such.

Where it stops

The playbook establishes whether an intelligence item is usable against you. Everything past that verdict belongs to someone else.

  • It does not act on what it finds

    Cracken does not rotate the credential, revoke the token, take the host down or file the ticket.

  • No attribution

    The playbook does not confirm that chatter naming your organisation belongs to the group it claims to belong to.

  • No sourcing from criminal marketplaces

    Cracken does not purchase data, operate personas, or infiltrate forums.

  • No detection scoring

    Proving an item is usable is not proving your SOC saw the attempt, and this playbook does not grade detection rules.

  • No full-surface sweep

    The run starts from one intelligence item, not from your whole external estate — that is External Attack Surface Discovery.

Who this is for

Start testing

  • Threat Intelligence Analyst

    You're spending hours manually checking whether threat actor campaigns apply to your stack. You need automated correlation so you're alerted when something in a feed maps directly to a live exposure.

  • SOC Lead / Detection Engineering

    You need to test your detection gaps against the actual techniques threat actors are using right now.

  • CISO / Head of Threat Management

    You want your threat intelligence investment to produce actions, not reports. Cracken closes the loop from intel to validated finding.

Questions

How is threat intelligence validation different from a threat intelligence platform?

A threat intelligence platform aggregates, normalizes and enriches indicators, then hands them to an analyst who decides whether they matter. Threat intelligence validation runs the indicator against an authorized target inside your estate and returns whether it worked. Cracken does the second, and takes the first as an input.

Do I need my own threat feed for this?

The Org Threat Intel playbook works from intel already reachable inside your workspace: GitHub and GitLab secret-scanning alerts through the connected integration, Shodan host and certificate data, and certificate transparency records. A feed you already license can be pushed in through a webhook automation, which creates an operation on each inbound call.

Will Cracken try a leaked credential against production?

Cracken attempts a credential only against a target inside your scope allowlist, and only at the autonomy level the operator set for that run — approval on every action through to hands-off. A target outside the allowlist stops the run rather than being attempted.

Is this breach and attack simulation?

No. Breach and attack simulation replays canned attack behaviour to score your controls against a library. This playbook takes one specific intelligence item about your organisation and tries to use it against your real estate. Cracken is not a BAS product and does not grade detection rules.
