Explanation
WHOIS retrieval (B) and URL reputation queries (E) are standard enrichment actions built into threat intelligence platforms (like Splunk SOAR, Microsoft Sentinel, or similar SIEM/SOAR tools) because they query well-established external data sources - domain registrars and reputation feeds - using native, out-of-the-box commands requiring no custom development.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A (Calculate malware family): Malware classification requires sandbox analysis or ML-based tools, not a simple built-in TI command.
- C (Identify duplicate layouts): This is a UI/design concept with no relevance to threat intelligence enrichment.
- D (Extract user roles): This is an identity/directory operation (e.g., querying Active Directory), not a threat intelligence enrichment step.
Memory tip: Think "external threat data you can look up with a single query" - WHOIS tells you who owns a domain/IP, and URL reputation tells you how dangerous a link is. Both are passive lookups against known threat intel sources, which is exactly what built-in enrichment commands are designed for.
