ThreatQ Mapping

The DFIR Report

The DFIR Report feed periodically pulls threat research posts from the The DFIR Report blog, and ingests them into ThreatQ as Report Objects.

GET https://thedfirreport.com/page/1/

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