| Information Gathering | Scanning | Attacks that send requests to a system to discover weaknesses. This also includes testing processes to gather information on hosts, services and accounts. This includes fingerd, DNS querying, ICMP, SMTP (EXPN, RCPT, etc) port scanning. |
| Information Gathering | Sniffing | Observing and recording of network traffic (i.e. wiretapping). |
| Information Gathering | Social Engineering | Gathering information from a human being in a non-technical way (e.g., using lies, tricks, bribes, or threats). |
| Intrusion Attempts | Exploitation of Known Vulnerabilities | An attempt to compromise a system or to disrupt any service by exploiting vulnerabilities with a standardised identifier such as CVE name (e.g., using a buffer overflow, backdoor, cross site scripting) |
| Intrusion Attempts | Login Attempts | Multiple brute-force login attempts (including guessing or cracking of passwords). This IOC refers to a resource, which has been observed to perform brute-force attacks over a given application protocol. |
| Intrusion Attempts | New Attack Signature | An attack using an unknown exploit. |
| Intrusions | Privileged Account Compromise | Compromise of a system where the attacker has gained administrative privileges. |
| Intrusions | Unprivileged Account Compromise | Compromise of a system using an unprivileged (user/service) account. |
| Intrusions | Application Compromise | Compromise of an application by exploiting (un)known software vulnerabilities, e.g., SQL injection. |
| Intrusions | System Compromise | Compromise of a system, e.g., unauthorised logins or commands. This includes attempts to compromise honeypot systems. |
| Intrusions | Burglary | Physical intrusion, e.g., into a corporate building or data centre. |

| Intrusion | Burglary | Physical intrusion, e.g., into a corporate building or data centre. |
| Availability | Denial of Service | Denial of Service attack, e.g., sending specially crafted requests to a web application which causes the application to crash or slow down. |
| Availability | Distributed Denial of Service | Distributed Denial of Service attack, e.g., SYN flood or UDP-based reflection/amplification attacks. |
| Availability | Misconfiguration | Software misconfiguration resulting in service availability issues, e.g., DNS server with outdated DNSSEC Root Zone KSK. |
| Availability | Sabotage | Physical sabotage, e.g., cutting wires or malicious arson. |
| Availability | Sabotage | Intentional actions maliciously threatening to, attempting to or actually damaging a system or component with the aim of disrupting the availability of a service. These can happen both at logical and physical levels, from malicious firewall rules dropping all traffic, to wire-cutting, bomb threats or arson. |
| Availability | Outage | An outage caused, for example, by air conditioning failure or natural disaster. |
| Information Content Security | Unauthorised Access to Information | Unauthorised access to information, e.g., by abusing stolen login credentials for a system or application, intercepting traffic or gaining access to physical documents. |
| Information Content Security | Unauthorised Modification of Information | Unauthorised modification of information, e.g., by an attacker abusing stolen login credentials for a system or application, or ransomware encrypting data. Also includes defacements. |

| Fraud | Phishing | Masquerading as another entity in order to persuade the user to reveal private credentials. This IOC most often refers to a URL, which is used to phish user credentials. |
| Vulnerable | Weak Cryptography | Publicly accessible services offering weak cryptography, e.g., web servers susceptible to POODLE/FREAK attacks. |
| Vulnerable | DDoS Amplifier | Publicly accessible services that can be abused for conducting DDoS reflection/amplification attacks, e.g., DNS open-resolvers or NTP servers with monlist enabled. |
| Vulnerable | Potentially Unwanted Accessible Services | Potentially unwanted publicly accessible services, e.g., Telnet, RDP or VNC. |
| Vulnerable | Potentially Unwanted Accessible Service | Potentially unwanted publicly accessible services, e.g., Telnet, RDP or VNC. |
| Vulnerable | Information disclosure | Publicly accessible services potentially disclosing sensitive information, e.g., SNMP or Redis. |
| Vulnerable | Vulnerable System | A system which is vulnerable to certain attacks, e.g., misconfigured client proxy settings (such as WPAD), outdated operating system version, or cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. |
| Other | Uncategorised | All incidents which don't fit in one of the given categories should be put into this class or the incident is not categorised. |
