IOCs (indicators of compromise) are the traces an attack leaves behind that let you detect or confirm it, such as a malicious IP address, a suspicious domain, the hash of a malware file or an unusual change in the Windows registry. Security teams share them and load them into their tools to find attacks in progress.
