Walkthrough
Indicator Highlighting
Highlight text on any webpage to quickly parse and refang a domain, IP, or URL for Pulsedive threat intelligence enrichment. Perform active or passive scans and easily pivot to Pulsedive for further investigation.
Bulk Parsing
Highlight text containing hundreds, and even thousands, of indicators to parse and refang them, download the list in CSV format, or pass them to Pulsedive Analyze for bulk enrichment.
Threat Enrichment
Highlight exact threat names or aliases, and click the Pulsedive add-on button to retrieve relevant threat overviews from Pulsedive’s dataset where available. Open Pulsedive’s threat profile to retrieve associated indicators, explore TTPs, read latest news, and learn more.
Muting
Remove noise with several muting features for the auto-popup. Temporarily mute for 5 minutes, mute specific sites permanently, or disable the auto-popup right from the add-on sidebar. Easily revert changes to expire the mute timer, remove a site exception, and enable the auto-popup from the sidebar settings. Or, visit the add-on settings page to make changes.
Add-on Button & Settings
Configure how and when the add-on activates. When Auto-Popup on Highlight is enabled, the sidebar will automatically appear when highlighting text containing supported indicators.
If the text contains a single indicator, the indicator must comprise most of the highlighted text. This control is in place to limit unintentional triggering. If the text contains multiple indicators, the sidebar will automatically appear if Bulk Parsing is enabled for the auto-popup.
Advanced Settings
- Select default scan type (Active, Passive)
- Modify the indicator types to trigger the auto-pop up on highlight (IPv4, IPv6, Domain, URL)
- Expand IPv4 CIDR ranges
- Parse email domains, and
- Manually add site exceptions
Closing Notes
Pulsedive's latest add-on update introduces an array of powerful new features and design enhancements to streamline threat intelligence and research for cybersecurity professionals. With new capabilities such as bulk indicator processing, advanced settings, and improved user experience, users can now efficiently parse and enrich threat data across multiple websites more easily. We hope you enjoy the improved functionality and more intuitive, customizable interface!
