Threat Intel Sources
Looking for some threat intel sources to get started? InQuest has a
Twitter List with several accounts that post C2 domains and IPs: https://twitter.com/InQuest/lists/ioc-feed. Note that you will need to apply for a Twitter developer account to use the ThreatIngestor Twitter Source. Take a look at config.example.yml to see how to set this list up as a source.
For quicker setup, RSS feeds can be a great source of intelligence. Check out this example RSS config file for a few pre-configured security blogs.
