Deploy MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) to aggregate, correlate, and distribute threat intelligence feeds from multiple sources for centralized IOC management and automated SIEM integration.
MISP is the leading open-source threat intelligence platform for collecting, storing, distributing, and sharing cybersecurity indicators and threat intelligence. It aggregates feeds from OSINT sources, commercial providers, and sharing communities into a unified platform with automatic correlation, STIX/TAXII export, and direct integration with SIEMs and security tools. This skill covers deploying MISP via Docker, configuring feeds from sources like abuse.ch, AlienVault OTX, and CIRCL, setting up automated feed synchronization, and integrating with Splunk, Elasticsearch, and SOAR platforms.
pymisp library for API interactionMISP stores threat intelligence as Events containing Attributes (IOCs) organized by type and category. Events can have Tags (MITRE ATT&CK, TLP marking, sector tags), Galaxies (threat actor profiles, malware families, attack patterns), and Objects (structured groupings of related attributes). Events are correlated automatically across the instance.
MISP supports three feed formats: MISP format (native JSON events), CSV (comma-separated IOCs), and freetext (unstructured text with automatic IOC extraction). Feeds can be remote (fetched from URLs) or local (uploaded files). MISP ships with 80+ default OSINT feeds including abuse.ch URLhaus, Botvrij, CIRCL OSINT, and malware traffic analysis.
MISP instances can synchronize with other MISP instances via push/pull mechanisms. Sharing groups control distribution (organization only, this community, connected communities, all communities). The TAXII server module enables integration with STIX/TAXII consumers.
