An Indicator of Compromise (IoC) is an observable that suggests malicious or suspicious activity — typically IPs, domains, hashes, or URLs. In Reyhford’s domain, IoCs are usually source IPs (and related metadata) that probed or attacked ICS honeypots.

IoCs in an OT context

Traditional IT IoCs often mean “this host was seen in malware C2.” ICS honeypot IoCs more often mean:
  • Internet-wide industrial scanning
  • Targeted reconnaissance against Modbus/S7/BACnet/IEC 104/EtherNet/IP/ATG
  • Write or command attempts against emulated controllers
That is still actionable: blocklists, firewall rules, CERT advisories, and hunting queries for the same sources on your perimeter.

What we attach to each IoC

Through enrichment, Reyhford indicators may include:
  • Protocol / port context
  • MITRE ATT&CK for ICS technique tags
  • Confidence score
  • Sensor / region of observation
  • Timestamps for first/last seen style analytics

How to use them
