Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The first step would be to clone the Sigma repository and install sigmatools either from the repository or through pip install sigmatools."

A block of code is set as follows:

from attackcti import attack_client
lift = attack_client()
enterprise_techniques = lift.get_enterprise_techniques()
for element in enterprise_techniques:
    try:
        print('%s:%s' % (element.name, element.x_mitre_data_sources))
    except AttributeError:
        continue

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

[default]
exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/1|30)
exten => s,2,Voicemail(u100)
exten => s,102,Voicemail(b100)
exten => i,1,Voicemail(s0)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

git clone https://github.com/Neo23x0/sigma/ pip install -r tools/requirements.txt

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select System info from the Administration panel."
