IntelliFind

Rapid7 continuously monitors the clear, deep, and dark web inspecting thousands of sources and tens of millions of web pages with proprietary crawlers.

While the Threat Command and TIP IOCs provide tactical intelligence, IntelliFind search gives you operational intelligence.

Use the IntelliFind search module to:

  • Search company-specific assets and mentions (matching results) across the entire intelligence surface.
  • Perform complex searches to find relevant findings and relevant context.
  • For example, you can search for a result that contains both a specific threat and your company name.
  • Proactively track threat actors and view their activity.
  • Automate searches via Threat Command RESTful APIs.
  • Use IntelliAlert to automatically trigger alerts when results match specific query criteria.

Access to IntelliFind is limited to users with a subscription to the TIP module.

The following table describes the IntelliFind view and ways to filter and view IntelliFind results:

SectionDescription
testYou can show results from specific sources as well as filter the results according to the report date, matching assets, and tags. When using the top row filter buttons, a mention must match ALL of the filters to be displayed. Within each filter, a mention can match ANY of the selected criteria.
testMention information: See the following table.
testResults with identical content and source type are grouped together under the latest mention. To see those, click View Similar Mentions. When a matched result is part of a thread (either as an original post or as a comment about a post), all of the thread posts and comments are grouped together in the Threads tab. To see those, click View Thread. When an alert has been triggered for a result, its severity and alert type is indicated in the display. To see the alert in the Alerts page, click Go To Alert. When multiple alerts have been triggered for the same source URL, you can see them all in the Alerts page by clicking View Related Alerts. You can elevate a result to an alert by clicking Create Alert. You can also use IntelliAlert to automatically trigger alerts when results match specific query criteria.
