RST Noise Control

Trusted subtraction — the known-good verdict that decides whether anything downstream should act on an indicator at all, across IPs, domains, URLs, and hashes.

should anything act on this?

The question asked before enforcement, across every indicator type — not just IPs.

Can be integrated with various SIEM, SOAR, and TIP

MS Updates, CDP, CDN, Public DNS, etc

Well-known IPs, Domains, URLs, and hashes

Key Usage

RST Noise Control can be integrated with various SIEM, SOAR, and TIP solutions. In SIEM and SOAR it can be used to stop alerting on indicators that were mistakenly added as an IoC for detection or prevention by one of the security vendors. In TIP a bulk API can be utilised to check indicators right after those are collected from various TI sources to ensure you are not improting noisy ones.

Info_fill

Decreased false positives in real-time detection

Credit card_fill

Alleviating the SOC system's workload by filtering out irrelevant data and false indicators from connected feeds

Pipe_fill

Enhanced efficiency, saving analysts valuable time when managing incidents

The question nobody else asks

Scanner-noise tools cover IPs at the perimeter. Noise Control asks a broader question across every indicator type: should anything downstream act on this at all? Known-good detection for software, files, IPs, domains, URLs and hashes — live benign intelligence, not a static allow-list. The industry built an economy around known-bad; this is the trusted known-good layer. See how we score →

Benign intelligenceA category, not a feature — false-positive reduction across your whole pipeline.

Inside the known-good

Known-good is harder to build than known-bad

A malicious indicator only has to be observed once to be worth publishing. A benign one has to be proven — from more than one vantage point, against software we have actually profiled, and re-proven every time the estate behind it changes. That work is the product.

01

Resolved from the whole world, not one data centre

We take the domains that genuinely carry traffic — Tranco and Cisco Umbrella rankings, per-country Cloudflare DNS top lists, public NTP pools — and resolve them continuously from nodes in different regions, keeping every answer as a real observed mapping.

Why it mattersAnycast and CDN estates hand back different addresses in Frankfurt than in Singapore. Resolve from one place and you allowlist one slice of a provider while quietly mislabelling the rest.

02

Software profiled, not assumed

We stand up clean golden images of the operating systems our clients actually run and hash every binary they ship, then combine that with NIST NSRL releases, generic Windows executables and analyst submissions. A few of the images currently profiled:

Windows Server 2025Ubuntu Server 26.04 LTSRHEL 10Amazon Linux 2023NSRL 2024.03 → 2026.x& more, plus manual submissions
03

Allowlists that retire, not accumulate

Around 76 dedicated fetchers refresh cloud, CDN, scanner, search-engine and bot ranges on a schedule — AWS, Azure, Akamai, Cloudflare, Shodan, Censys, Googlebot, OpenAI and the rest — each mapped to its own ruleset with its own verdict.

Why it mattersRanges get returned and reissued. An allowlist that only ever grows will keep vouching for infrastructure its original owner gave up years ago, so superseded entries are dropped rather than kept.

The detail nobody else handles

NSRL cannot be used raw. NIST's reference set is the standard known-good hash corpus — and it also catalogues Kali Linux, Mimikatz and a long shelf of offensive-security tooling. Load it unfiltered into a noise filter and you have just told your SOC that Mimikatz is benign. We strip dual-use and red-team software out of every release before a single hash becomes a benign verdict.
