threat-hunting SKILL.md skillA
threat-hunting from gensecaihq/wazuh-autopilot is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add gensecaihq/wazuh-autopilot/threat-hunting@v1.1Pins v1.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Run hypothesis-driven threat hunts over Wazuh data using the PEAK framework (hypothesis, baseline, model-assisted), record outcomes, and hand confirmed patterns to detection engineering; use for scheduled hunts or when asked to look for undetected activity.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Threat Hunting Hunting assumes the attacker got past existing detections. NIST CSF 2.0 DE.CM / DE.AE — continuous monitoring and analysis beyond alert-driven work. ## PEAK framework (Prepare → Execute → Act with Knowledge) Three hunt types: 1. **Hypothesis-driven** — test a specific idea about attacker behaviour. 2. **Baseline** — characterize normal, then examine outliers (e.g. rare processes, rare parent-child pairs, rare outbound destinations). 3. **Model-assisted** — use analytics/aggregation (`analyze_alert_patterns`, `get_alerts_aggregated`) to surface anomalies for human-style review. TaHiTI (Targeted Hunting integrating Threat Intelligence) adds: start hunts from current threat intel, and feed results back into intel and detection. ## Hypothesis template ``` Hypothesis: <actor behaviour> is occurring on <scope> and would appear as <observable> in <data source>. ATT&CK: <technique id> Data: <Wazuh rule groups / fields> Time range: <e.g. 14d> Success criteria: <what confirms / refutes> ``` Example: "An attacker has established persistence via cron on Linux servers; this would appear as FIM or audit events on /etc/cron* or /var/spool/cron outside change windows …

How to install
mdr add gensecaihq/wazuh-autopilot/threat-hunting@sha256:84fe81135d1c2425The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
