This skill covers designing TIP architecture using open-source tools (MISP, OpenCTI, TheHive, Cortex), configuring feed ingestion pipelines, establishing enrichment workflows, implementing STIX/TAXII interoperability, and building analyst dashboards for CTI operations. ## When to Use - When deploying or configuring building threat intelligence platform capabilities in your environment - When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements - When building or improving security architecture for this domain - When conducting security assessments that require this implementation ## Prerequisites - Docker and Docker Compose for deploying platform components - Python 3.9+ with `pymisp`, `pycti`, `thehive4py` libraries - Elasticsearch/OpenSearch cluster for data storage - Redis and RabbitMQ for message queuing - Understanding of STIX 2.1 data model and TAXII 2.1 transport - API keys for enrichment services (VirusTotal, Shodan, AbuseIPDB) ## Key Concepts ### TIP Architecture Components 1. **Collection Layer**: Feed ingestion from OSINT, commercial, and internal sources 2. **Storage Layer**: Elasticsearch/OpenSearch for indexed CTI data with STIX 2.1 schema 3. **Analysis Layer**: OpenCTI for knowledge graph analysis and MISP for IOC correlation 4. **Enrichment Layer**: Cortex analyzers for automated IOC enrichment 5. **Response Layer**: TheHive for case management and incident response integration 6. **Sharing Layer**: TAXII server for outbound intelligence sharing ### Platform Integration Points - **MISP <-> OpenCTI**: Bidirectional sync via OpenCTI MISP connector - **OpenCTI <-> TheHive**: Alert/case creation from high-confidence indicators - **TheHive <-> Cortex**: Automated analysis and enrichment of case observables - **All <-> SIEM**: Real-time IOC push to Splunk/Elastic via API or Kafka ## Workflow ### Step 1: Deploy Platform with Docker Compose ```yaml version: '3.8' services: # --- Storage Layer --- elasticsearch: image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.12.0 environment: -

" f"Active: {conn['active']} - " f"Type: {conn['connector_type']}" ) def sync_misp_to_opencti(self): """Verify MISP-OpenCTI sync is operational.""" # OpenCTI MISP connector handles this automatically # Check connector status connectors = self.opencti.connector.list() misp_connector = [ c for c in connectors if "misp" in c["name"].lower() ] if misp_connector: print(f"[+] MISP connector active: {misp_connector[0]['active']}") else: print("[-] MISP connector not found - configure in Docker Compose") ``` ### Step 3: Build Enrichment Pipeline with Cortex ```python import requests class CortexEnrichment: """Integrate Cortex analyzers for automated enrichment.""" def __init__(self, cortex_url, cortex_key): self.url = cortex_url self.headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {cortex_key}"} def list_analyzers(self): """List available Cortex analyzers.""" resp = requests.get( f"{self.url}/api/analyzer", headers=self.headers, timeout=30, ) if resp.status_code == 200: analyzers = resp.json() for a in analyzers: print(f" {a['name']}: {a.get('description', '')[:60]}") return analyzers return [] def analyze_observable(self, observable_type, observable_value, analyzer_id): """Submit an observable for analysis.""" job = { "data": observable_value, "dataType": observable_type, "tlp": 2, "message": "TIP automated enrichment", } resp = requests.post( f"{self.url}/api/analyzer/{analyzer_id}/run", json=job, headers=self.headers, timeout=30, ) if resp.status_code == 200: return resp.json() return None def get_job_report(self, job_id): """Get the report for a completed analysis job.""" resp = requests.get( f"{self.url}/api/job/{job_id}/report", headers=self.headers, timeout=60, ) if resp.status_code == 200: return resp.json() return None ``` ### Step 4: Implement Analyst Dashboard Metrics ```python class TIPMetrics: """Collect platform metrics for analyst dashboards.""" def __init__(self, misp, opencti): self.misp = misp self.opencti = opencti def get_platform_stats(self): """Collect statistics across all platform components.""" stats = {} # MISP stats misp_stats = self.misp.get_server_statistics() stats["misp"] = { "total_events": misp_stats.get("event_count", 0), "total_attributes": misp_stats.get("attribute_count", 0), "active_feeds": len([ f for f in self.misp.feeds() if f.get("Feed", {}).get("enabled") ]), } # OpenCTI stats via GraphQL stats["opencti"] = { "total_indicators": self.opencti.indicator.list( first=0, withPagination=True ).get("pagination", {}).get("globalCount", 0), "total_reports": self.opencti.report.list( first=0, withPagination=True ).get("pagination", {}).get("globalCount", 0), } return stats ``` ## Validation Criteria - All platform components (MISP, OpenCTI, TheHive, Cortex) deployed and accessible - MISP-OpenCTI bidirectional sync operational - At least 3 OSINT feeds ingesting data - Cortex analyzers configured and returning enrichment results - Platform metrics dashboard showing real-time statistics - STIX/TAXII export functional for intelligence sharing ## References - [OpenCTI Documentation](https://docs.opencti.io/) - [MISP Project](https://www.misp-project.org/) -
