Open Source Threat Intelligence

• GOSINT - a project used for collecting, processing, and exporting high quality indicators of compromise (IOCs). GOSINT allows a security analyst to collect and standardize structured and unstructured threat intelligence.
• Awesome Threat Intelligence - A curated list of awesome Threat Intelligence resources. This is a great resource and I try to contribute to it.

Whois

WHOIS information is based upon a tree hierarchy. ICANN (IANA) is the authoritative registry for all of the TLDs and is a great starting point for all manual WHOIS queries.
