Overview
Sooty is a tool developed with the task of aiding SOC analysts with automating part of their workflow. One of the goals of Sooty is to perform as many of the routine checks as possible, allowing the analyst more time to spend on deeper analysis within the same time-frame. Details for many of Sooty's features can be found below.
Sooty is now proudly supported by Tines.com! The SOAR Platform for Enterprise Security Teams.

- Identify if an address is potentially malicious, used for spam, web bots:
- Check if an IP address is a TOR exit node
- Decode Proofpoint URL's, UTF-8 encoded URLS, Office SafeLink URL's, Base64 Strings and Cisco7 Passwords.
- Get file hashes and compare them against VirusTotal (see requirements)
- Perform WhoIs Lookups
- Check Usernames and Emails against HaveIBeenPwned to see if a breach has occurred. (see requirements)
- Simple analysis of emails to retrieve URL's, emails and header information.
- Extract IP addresses from emails.
- Unshorten URL's that have been shortened by external services. (Limited to 10 requests per hour)
- Query URLScan.io for reputation reports.
- Analyze email addresses for known malicious activity and report on domain reputation utilising EmailRep.io
- Create dynamic email templates that can be used as a base for phishing triage response.(.msg only, .eml coming in future update)
- Perform analysis enrichment on phishing mails using the HaveIBeenPwned database, and can identify if an email address has been compromised in the past, when it happened and where the breach occurred. (Requires API Key).

python Sooty.py, or simplySooty.py - Several API Keys are required to have full functionality with Sooty. However, it will still function without these keys, just without the added functionality they provide. Links are found below:
- Replace the corresponding key in the
example_config.yamlfile, and rename the file toconfig.yaml, example layout below: - For PhishTank support, an unique app name is also required as an additional field. Simply update the
config.yamlfile with your unique name.
Launch with Docker
-
docker build -t sooty . && docker run --rm -it sooty
