About the connector
Mnemonic offers passive DNS data to the public. mnemonic has set up a web interface for querying passive DNS data collected in our malware lab. The data is classified as "TLP WHITE," meaning that it may be shared freely. mnemonic also exchanges passive DNS data with selected partners.
This document provides information about the Mnemonic connector, which facilitates automated interactions with Mnemonic using FortiSOAR™ playbooks. Add the Mnemonic connector as a step in FortiSOAR™ playbooks and perform automated operations, such as retrieving DNS information from the Mnemonic public DNS API.
