analyzing-threat-actor-ttps-with-mitre-navigator
Map advanced persistent threat (APT) group tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to the MITRE ATT&CK framework using the ATT&CK Navigator and attackcti Python library. The analyst queries STIX/TAXII data for group-technique associations, generates Navigator layer files for visualization, and compares defensive coverage against adversary profiles. Activates for requests involving APT TTP mapping, ATT&CK Navigator layers, threat actor profiling, or MITRE technique coverage analysis.
What this skill does
# Analyzing Threat Actor TTPs with MITRE Navigator
## Overview
The MITRE ATT&CK Navigator is a web application for annotating and visualizing ATT&CK matrices.
Combined with the attackcti Python library (which queries ATT&CK STIX data via TAXII), analysts
can programmatically generate Navigator layer files mapping specific threat group TTPs, compare
multiple groups, and assess detection coverage gaps against known adversaries.
## When to Use
- When investigating security incidents that require analyzing threat actor ttps with mitre navigator
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+ with attackcti and stix2 libraries installed
- MITRE ATT&CK Navigator (web UI or local instance)
- Understanding of STIX 2.1 objects and relationships
## Steps
1. Query ATT&CK STIX data for target threat group using attackcti
2. Extract techniques associated with the group via STIX relationships
3. Generate ATT&CK Navigator layer JSON with technique annotations
4. Overlay detection coverage to identify gaps
5. Export layer for team review and defensive planning
## Expected Output
```json
{
"name": "APT29 TTPs",
"domain": "enterprise-attack",
"techniques": [
{"techniqueID": "T1566.001", "score": 1, "comment": "Spearphishing Attachment"},
{"techniqueID": "T1059.001", "score": 1, "comment": "PowerShell"}
]
}
