The assumption that threat hunting is an expensive, time-consuming activity reserved for enterprise organizations and threat researchers is not completely accurate. In June of 2017, I bought a Pastebin account and began hunting malware staged on their platform. For [far] less than I spend on beer in a year, and with just a little Python, I learned all sorts of stuff about threat actors at all levels. In this talk, I will share how I did this and some of the interesting things I learned along the way.
