ThreatQ Mapping

Outpost24 Research Blog

The Outpost24 Research Blog feed periodically pulls news posts from Outpost24 Research Blog's security category and ingests them into ThreatQ as Report objects.

GET https://outpost24.com/blog/category/research-and-threat-intel/page/{{ page }}/

This request returns HTML. The HTML is parsed for the date, links, etc. The blog itself is then fetched.

GET https://outpost24.com/blog/{{ path }}/

The mapping for this feed is based on the information parsed out of the blog's HTML content:

Feed Data Path ThreatQ Entity ThreatQ Object Type or Attribute Key Published Date Examples Notes
N/A Report.Title N/A N/A Black Basta & M_A_G_A: Threat intelligence briefing Feb 2025 Parsed from the HTML
