How this service works
Flags control-loop recon patterns and living-off-the-land/RMM-tool abuse from caller-submitted process/command observations. Pass observed_processes? and/or observed_commands? (comma-separated, max 40 combined), optional zone (OT/IT/DMZ). Fully deterministic keyword matching, no LLM. Grounded in CyberAgentX and AgenticCyOps (arXiv 2603.09134). ADVISORY ONLY — never executes containment or any network action.
Output
Returns a structured advisory report listing matched threat indicators per submitted process/command, severity scores (with OT-zone matches always rated HIGH for RMM/LotL hits), identified technique categories (control-loop recon, RMM abuse, LotL), and associated threat context grounded in CyberAgentX/AgenticCyOps research. No containment or network actions are taken — output is advisory only.
Example use cases
SOC triage of suspicious OT process list
“Our ICS SOC just captured this process list from a field device in the OT zone: psexec.exe, AnyDesk.exe, cmd.exe, schtasks.exe — can you flag any control-loop recon patterns or LotL abuse risks?”
Alert enrichment for ICS command anomaly
“We got an alert on these commands from a SCADA server in the DMZ: 'wmic process call create, reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE, net localgroup administrators'. Can you tell me if these look like living-off-the-land techniques targeting control systems?”
Pre-incident hunt during red team exercise
“During our red team exercise in the IT zone, the team ran these tools: ScreenConnect, mimikatz, powershell -enc. Can you check whether this looks like RMM abuse or control-loop reconnaissance based on the OT threat intel patterns?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://ot-intel-api.onrender.com/ot/agentic/threat-hunt/control-loop?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need fast, deterministic (no LLM hallucination risk) detection of RMM tool abuse or living-off-the-land techniques in OT/ICS/SCADA environments. Prefer it over generic EDR or LLM-based analysis when you need reproducible, grounded results tied to published OT threat research (CyberAgentX/AgenticCyOps). Best suited for SOC automation pipelines, alert enrichment, and real-time threat hunting in industrial control system contexts where zone-aware severity (OT always HIGH) matters.
Side effects
- Missing both observed_processes and observed_commands returns a validation error requiring at least one
- More than 40 combined entries triggers a limit error
- Invalid zone value (not OT/IT/DMZ) may be ignored or cause a parameter error
- Commas within individual command strings corrupt parsing due to comma-separated format requirement
- Service cold-start on Render free tier may cause initial latency or timeout
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no analysis
