Hi Community,
ThreatQ currently has the ability to parse PDFs, CSVs, and other plain text files for IOCs. How useful would it be to add support for parsing Excel files?
Here are some additional questions that will help us understand how you may use ThreatQ and how you could benefit from an Excel parser:
- Do the Excel files that you import have a standard format/columns?
- How often are you wanting to import & parse Excel files?
- Would you benefit from being able to automate this parsing job (assuming the formats are standard)?
- Do the Excel files that you import have multiple sheets?
- Are you often wanting all sheets parsed, or generally just one?
- How important is it that context from the same row is stored with the corresponding IOC?
- Where are you receiving these Excel files from?
- You don’t need to expose any specific names, but just generally (i.e. commercial vendors, OSINT sources, gov agencies, etc.)
Interested to hear some thoughts!
