The IOC Stream view is an evolution to the previous Livehunt Notifications view. This view allows users to digest the incoming VT flux into relevant threat feeds that you can study here or easily export to improve detection in your security technologies.

As you can see in the screenshot below, you will see different tabs for the different Threat Feeds: Files, URLs, Domains and IP Addresses.

There is also the Aggregated tab for all the feeds combined and a manage sources link.

In this other article you can check how to subscribe to the new Threat Feeds (Collections and Threat Actors).
