**What it does.** Uses PyMISP (the official MISP REST API library) to create events with structured IOCs (IPs, domains, hashes, URLs), enrich them with MITRE ATT&CK tags and galaxy clusters, manage sharing groups and distribution levels, search existing intelligence, and export in STIX 2.1 format. Use when creating, enriching, or sharing threat intelligence events on a MISP instance, or integrating IOC feeds with other platforms.

# Performing Threat Intelligence Sharing with MISP

## Overview

MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) is an open-source threat intelligence platform designed for collecting, storing, distributing, and sharing cybersecurity indicators and threat information. PyMISP is the official Python library for interacting with MISP instances via the REST API, enabling programmatic event creation, attribute management, tag assignment, galaxy cluster attachment, and feed synchronization. This skill covers using PyMISP to create events with structured IOCs (IP addresses, domains, file hashes, URLs), enrich events with MITRE ATT&CK tags, manage sharing groups and distribution levels, search for existing intelligence, and export in STIX 2.1 format for interoperability with other platforms.


## When to Use

- When conducting security assessments that involve performing threat intelligence sharing with misp
- When following incident response procedures for related security events
- When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
- When validating security controls through hands-on testing

## Prerequisites

- MISP instance (v2.4+) with API access enabled
- Python 3.9+ with `pymisp` (`pip install pymisp`)
- MISP API key (Settings > Auth Keys)
- Understanding of MISP data model (Events, Attributes, Objects, Tags, Galaxies)
- Knowledge of TLP marking and sharing protocols

## Steps

1. Install PyMISP: `pip install pymisp`
2. Initialize `ExpandedPyMISP(url, key, ssl=True)` connection
3. Create a `MISPEvent` with info, distribution level, threat level, and analysis status
4. Add attributes via `event.add_attribute(type, value)` for IPs, domains, hashes
5. Apply TLP tags and MITRE ATT&CK technique tags
6. Publish the event with `misp.publish(event)`
7. Search existing events with `misp.search(controller='events', value=..., type_attribute=...)`
8. Enable and configure threat feeds for automatic IOC ingestion
9. Export events in STIX 2.1 format for cross-platform sharing
10. Validate sharing group configuration and sync server settings

## Expected Output

A JSON report summarizing events created, attributes added, tags applied, feed sync status, and any correlation hits against existing intelligence, with event IDs and distribution metadata.

# MISP / PyMISP API Reference

## Installation

```bash
pip install pymisp
```

## Connection Setup

```python
from pymisp import PyMISP, MISPEvent, MISPAttribute

misp = PyMISP(
    url="https://misp.example.com",
    key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    ssl=True
)
```

## Core PyMISP Methods

| Method | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `misp.add_event(event)` | Create new event |
| `misp.update_event(event)` | Update existing event |
| `misp.publish(event)` | Publish event for sharing |
| `misp.delete_event(event_id)` | Delete an event |
| `misp.search(controller, value, type_attribute)` | Search events/attributes |
| `misp.get_event(event_id)` | Retrieve single event |
| `misp.add_tag(event, tag)` | Add tag to event |
| `misp.search_index(published=True)` | Search event index |

## Creating Events

```python
event = MISPEvent()
event.info = "APT Campaign - Phishing IOCs"
event.distribution = 1        # 0=Org, 1=Community, 2=Connected, 3=All
event.threat_level_id = 2     # 1=High, 2=Medium, 3=Low, 4=Undefined
event.analysis = 0            # 0=Initial, 1=Ongoing, 2=Complete

event.add_attribute("ip-dst", "203.0.113.50", to_ids=True, comment="C2 server")
event.add_attribute("domain", "evil.example.com", to_ids=True)
event.add_attribute("sha256", "a1b2c3d4...", category="Payload delivery")
event.add_tag("tlp:amber")
event.add_tag("mitre-attack-pattern:T1566 - Phishing")

result = misp.add_event(event)
```

## Searching Intelligence

```python
# Search by attribute value
results = misp.search(controller="attributes", value="203.0.113.50", type_attribute="ip-dst")

# Search events by date range
results = misp.search(controller="events", date_from="2025-01-01", date_to="2025-12-31")

# Search with tags
results = misp.search(controller="events", tags=["tlp:white", "ransomware"])
```

## MISP Attribute Types

| Type | Example | Category |
|------|---------|----------|
| `ip-dst` | `203.0.113.50` | Network activity |
| `domain` | `evil.example.com` | Network activity |
| `url` | `https://evil.com/payload` | Network activity |
| `sha256` | `a1b2c3...` | Payload delivery |
| `md5` | `d41d8c...` | Payload delivery |
| `email-src` | `attacker@evil.com` | Payload delivery |
| `filename` | `malware.exe` | Payload delivery |
| `regkey` | `HKLM\...\Run\evil` | Persistence mechanism |

## Distribution Levels

- `0` - Your organisation only
- `1` - This community only
- `2` - Connected communities
- `3` - All communities
- `4` - Sharing group

## CLI Usage

```bash
python agent.py --input events.json --output report.json
python agent.py --input events.json --misp-url https://misp.example.com --api-key KEY
```
