Summary
This PR adds a new warning list for Windows binary hashes using data from the winbindex project. This helps prevent false positives when Windows system file hashes are flagged in threat intelligence feeds.
Changes
In threat intelligence and incident response, file hashes (particularly SHA256) are commonly used as Indicators of Compromise (IoCs). However, legitimate Windows system files frequently appear in threat feeds, causing false positives that waste analyst time and reduce trust in automated detections.
The winbindex project by m417z is a comprehensive, continuously updated database that tracks Windows binaries across all major Windows versions and builds.
By implementing this warning list, organizations using MISP for threat intelligence can significantly improve their signal-to-noise ratio, making their security operations more efficient and effective.
