Need help on extract indicators from Email body

L0 Member

Hello Team,

 

I have developed a playbook which extract indicators like IP,URL,Domain and Hash from Email body.

but in some cases extract indicators and other automation which are available in xsoar cannot extract domains.

can anyone suggest me how to extract domains from Email body.

Extracting domains is a difficult task.  If you consider that a domain can almost be anything separated by a "." it gets very difficult to design a regular expression that can extract that without getting a lot of false positives.

 

Typically the way things are handled by XSOAR out of the box is that we first identify either email addresses (email@domain) or a URL (http://domain/otherstuff) and pull the domains out of those.  If you are able to identify a regular expression that could effectively grab a domain out of a normal email without catching other stuff as well you can create a custom regex in the domain indicator type.  

I'm not sure there's a great solution here I just wanted to help identify why it's a tricky problem!

I hope that helps!

Better open your own discussion than using answered discussion.Till then you can see this nice clip about indicators by palo alto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVGWeYJMDQQ&t=375s 😉
