  2. You’ll see a preview, if available.
  3. Click the "Convert file to..." button to extract text information.

Convert IOC to another file type

To convert IOC configuration files to another format, you need STM32CubeMX or other Developer software.

Convert a file to IOC

To convert other file formats to the "Project & Threat Data" file type, you need software like STM32CubeMX or a similar tool.


About IOC files

The .IOC file extension is utilized by two completely distinct domains. In embedded engineering, it serves as a microcontroller configuration project file for STM32CubeMX developed by STMicroelectronics. In the cybersecurity field, it operates as an Indicator of Compromise file formatted in the OpenIOC XML standard originally developed by Mandiant. The primary disadvantage of the STM32CubeMX format is its proprietary nature; it is a rigid project container requiring a heavy software installation just to view pinout configurations or clock trees. On the other hand, while OpenIOC files are simply XML files under the hood, they contain complex schemas that confuse standard text software and demand specialized threat intelligence platforms like OpenIOC Explorer to parse correctly. When dealing with threat intelligence, converting .IOC to XML, JSON, or .STIX makes the threat data readable across universal security tools. For STM32 files, the required conversion target is C and H source code, which historically can only be generated through the official IDE. Because this file format is difficult to open or convert due to these closed hardware ecosystems and rigid cybersecurity schemas, standard online converters typically fail. Often only the original software can properly read or export the data. We can identify the file format, inspect the internal headers, and show the underlying text. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format like the OpenIOC XML schema, viewing or conversion to standard formats may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your IOC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted SVB, HAT and KND files.

The IOC Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our IOC converter.
