    SPECTERSPECTER

    Find your way around SPECTER

    The header shows Soveryne and SPECTER on the left and your profile button (your initials) on the right. The navigation on the left has six pages:

    SPECTERCVEs

    Narrow it down with a CPE

    A CPE (Common Platform Enumeration) name identifies a product, and optionally a version, in a standard way. The CPE filter finds the CVEs whose recorded applicability matches that product.

    SPECTERThreat intelligence: adversaries, techniques and malware

    Explore its techniques

    Techniques lists the MITRE ATT&CK techniques and subtechniques. In the graph, each technique is drawn as "T1059 · Command and Scripting Interpreter", and a Subtechnique line connects a technique to each of its subtechniques. In List…

    SPECTERSources and source health

    Check where the intelligence comes from

    Source health shows when each source was last brought up to date. Each row is one source, identified by a short source identifier in the Source Id column.
