Consolidate 22 sibling repos into layered organism structure
Place useful parts of the surrounding repos into sica-fondt by layer, per the
body model (Ada = membrane; brain/endocrine/capabilities/knowledge non-Ada):

- brain/        LLM reasoning + providers (dapr, hermes, MoMoA)
- capabilities/ REPRAG sidecars: hermes tools/skills, dapr tools, parallel
                dispatch, A51 channels, and the OSINT cluster
- knowledge/    LORAG corpus: 754 cyber-skills, agency personas, secure-coding,
                MITRE ATT&CK data
- reference/    defensive threat-reference (C3, shhbruh doc) + AdaYaml parser

License handling: AGPL sources (worldosint, advanced_evolution, mercury,
Reticulum) and GPL DeTTECT are SPEC-only clean-room/port descriptions — no
copyleft code copied. MIT/Apache/data parts copied as working trees.

Safety: shhbruh escape/persistence material and C3 covert-C2 kept as reference
only, not wired into the running organism. See CONSOLIDATION.md.

Detailed Hunting Workflow - Hunting For Spearphishing Indicators

Phase 1: Data Collection and Querying

Splunk SPL Query

index=sysmon EventCode=1
| where match(ParentImage, "(?i)(winword|excel|powerpnt|outlook)\.exe$")
| where match(Image, "(?i)(cmd|powershell|wscript|cscript|mshta|certutil)\.exe$")
| table _time Computer User ParentImage Image CommandLine

KQL Query (Microsoft Defender for Endpoint)

DeviceProcessEvents
| where InitiatingProcessFileName in~ ("winword.exe","excel.exe","powerpnt.exe","outlook.exe")
| where FileName in~ ("cmd.exe","powershell.exe","wscript.exe","mshta.exe")
| project Timestamp, DeviceName, AccountName, InitiatingProcessFileName, FileName, ProcessCommandLine

Phase 2: Baseline and Anomaly Detection

Step 2.1 - Establish Normal Behavior Baseline

  • Collect 30 days of historical data for the targeted technique
  • Document expected patterns, frequencies, and legitimate use cases
  • Identify known false positive sources and document exceptions
  • Build statistical baseline (mean, standard deviation) for key metrics

Step 2.2 - Identify Anomalies

  • Compare current activity against the 30-day baseline
  • Flag events exceeding 3 standard deviations from normal
  • Prioritize anomalies by risk score and potential business impact
  • Cross-reference with threat intelligence for known IOCs

Phase 3: Investigation and Correlation

Step 3.1 - Deep Dive Analysis

  • For each anomaly, collect full process tree context
  • Correlate with network activity, file operations, and authentication events
  • Check binary signatures, file hashes, and certificate validity
  • Review user account context and access patterns

Step 3.2 - Attack Chain Reconstruction

  • Map findings to MITRE ATT&CK kill chain stages
  • Identify initial access vector if applicable
  • Trace lateral movement and privilege escalation paths
  • Determine data access and potential exfiltration

Phase 4: Validation and Response

Step 4.1 - True/False Positive Determination

  • Verify findings with system owners and IT operations
  • Check change management records for authorized activities
  • Validate user context (authorized actions vs. compromised account)
  • Document determination rationale for each finding

Step 4.2 - Response Actions

  • For confirmed threats: initiate incident response procedures
  • For detection gaps: create or update detection rules
  • For false positives: tune existing rules and update exclusions
  • Update threat hunting playbook with lessons learned

Phase 5: Documentation and Reporting

Step 5.1 - Hunt Report

  • Summarize hypothesis, methodology, and findings
  • Include all queries executed and their results
  • Document IOCs discovered and detection rules created
  • Provide recommendations for security improvements

Step 5.2 - Knowledge Base Update

  • Add findings to threat intelligence platform
  • Update MITRE ATT&CK coverage heatmap
  • Share detection rules via Sigma format
  • Schedule follow-up hunts for related techniques
