Zerofox2TH: ZeroFOX Alert Feeder for TheHive

Earlier today, the French (but nonetheless happy) Chefs of TheHive’s code kitchen released DigitalShadows2TH, an alert feeder for TheHive that can consume incidents and intel-incidents from Digital Shadows, a Threat Intelligence provider and feed them as alerts to your favorite Security Incident Response Platform.

We are glad to do the same for ZeroFOX, a social media monitoring platform, with Zerofox2TH. If you are a ZeroFOX customer with a valid API subscription and use TheHive for managing your security incidents and investigating them, you can now feed alerts generated by ZeroFOX to TheHive. Ain’t that joli?

Zerofox2TH is released under an AGPLv3 license (read: free and open source). To use it, you’ll need Python 3, the requests and pillow libraries as well as TheHive4py. You also need TheHive 2.13 or better, with an account on your SIRP that can create alerts.

Please read the README file to learn how to install, configure and run this alert feeder.

DigitalShadows2TH: Digital Shadows Alert Feeder for TheHive

Thanks to its REST API and alerting framework, TheHive can receive alerts from multiple sources: email notifications, SIEMs, IDS/IPS and, of course, one or several MISP instances.

While the integration with MISP is native and very easy to configure, teams need to develop their own code to feed alerts from other sources to TheHive, leveraging whenever possible TheHive4Py, a very handy Python library to interact with the API.

If you are a TheHive user and a Digital Shadows customer, you can now fetch any incident or intel-incident raised by their Searchlight service using DigitalShadows2TH, a free, open source alert feeder for TheHive freshly cooked by your friendly and so Frenchy Chefs behind TheHive Project.

To use DigitalShadows2TH, you’ll need Python 3, the requests library and TheHive4py. You also need a Digital Shadows subscription and TheHive 2.13 or better with an account on your SIRP that can create alerts.

Please read the README file to learn how to install, configure and run this alert feeder.

Mellifera 13.2: Stats, Security & More

The release of Mellifera 13 (TheHive 2.13.0) marked our move away from Elasticsearch v 2.x to 5.x. While we tried to test this major version as thoroughly as possible, some users were bitten by an ugly bug that made the metrics chart in the Statistics view basically useless.

This bug occurs only if you have freshly installed TheHive 2.13.0 or 2.13.1. If you migrated from a previous version, you would have no issue.

The problem was quickly identified. However, to correct it in Mellifera 13.2 (TheHive 2.13.2), a minor version released today, we had to force a database migration.

At the first connection to TheHive 2.13.2, a migration of the database will be asked. This will create a new ElasticSearch index (the_hive_11). See the Updating guide. TheHive 2.13.2 also fixes the following issues:

  • #331: fix an error when trying to merge cases containing custom fields
  • #347: non-IOC observables counted as IOC, and IOC word displayed twice in the stats view under the Observables tab
  • #356: update the Play framework to 2.6.6 to correct a security issue with the previous version

Download & Get Down to Work

If you have an existing installation of TheHive, please follow the migration guide.

If you are performing a fresh installation, read the installation guide corresponding to your needs and enjoy. Please note that you can install TheHive using an RPM or DEB package, use Docker, install it from a binary or build it from sources.

Mellifera 13.1 Released

Following the release of Mellifera 13 last week, some users reported problems getting the platform working correctly. They couldn’t browse a case’s tasks. TheHive Chefs reproduced the bug and corrected swiftly in Mellifera 13.1 (TheHive 2.13.1), which is now available. Please note that the identified bug happens only when you haven’t upgraded TheHive from an earlier version.

Is ES 2.x still supported?

Mellifera 13 introduced the support of Elasticsearch 5.x and has been thoroughly tested with version 5.5 (5.6 should be probably work just fine). Given the numerous changes between ES 2.x and ES 5.x, we do not support both versions. Hence, and starting from Mellifera 13, only ES 5.x is supported.

Download & Get Down to Work

If you have an existing installation of TheHive, please follow the migration guideThis is paramount to ensure a good transition from earlier versions. You have been warned.

If you are performing a fresh installation, read the installation guide corresponding to your needs and enjoy. Please note that you can install TheHive using an RPM or DEB package, use Docker, install it from a binary or build it from sources.

$ sudo pip install thehive4py --upgrade

If you are just getting started with TheHive4py, you can forgo the --upgrade at the end of the command above.

New Features

  • Add more options to sort, filter and paginate case tasks and observables
  • Add a find_alerts method to allow querying alerts
  • Add support to API Key authentication mechanism

Bug Fixes

  • Added verify parameter to calls

Breaking Changes

  • The `get_case_tasks` method has been made consistent with all the other methods and now returns a `Response` object instead of a JSON dict.

Mellifera 13: Export to MISP, Webhooks, API Keys & ES 5

TheHive Project French Chefs are very happy to announce Mellifera 13 (TheHive 2.13.0), a brand new, all shiny, major version of TheHive.

This new edition of your favorite Security Incident Response Platform (SIRP) has been cooked with great care to bring you a number of key features.

Mellifera 13 now uses ElasticSearch 5.x. We have tested it with v 5.5 but it should work just fine with ES 5.6.

Webhooks

TheHive has now basic support for webhooks. This allows your SIRP to post all the audit trail data to one or multiple webhooks defined in the configuration file. This way, you can listen to any change taking place on the platform and act on it as you see fit: create a ticket in an IT ticketing system, send a message to a Slack channel, display selected events of the audit trail on a screen, wake up your fellow analysts from sleep when a specific type of cases or a given alert is raised & so on. So get some elbow grease and code that Slack bot promptly 😉

Import and Export from Multiple MISP Servers

Mellifera 13 can not only import events from multiple MISP servers but also export cases as events to one or several MISP instances. The exported cases will not be published automatically though as they need to be reviewed prior to publishing.

See how the Share counter on the top right corner has now increased

We strongly advise you to review the categories and types of attributes at least, before publishing the corresponding MISP events. Please also note that only and all the observables marked as IOCs will be used to create the MISP event. Any other observable will not be shared. This is not configurable. For further details, check the documentation.

API Keys

Mellifera 13 introduce a new authentication mechanism: API keys. This auth method is recommended for all programs or scripts, including your SIEM, that raise alerts on TheHive. You can, as an administrator, generate and revoke as many API keys as you want. Existing software using the basic authentication method should be modified to use API keys. But do not panic, while the basic authentication mechanism has been disabled by default, you can still enable it in application.conf.

The ‘alert’ role

A new alert​ role has been added. Only users with this role can create an alert. All existing programs which create alerts must have this role. Otherwise they will no longer work.

C’est La Vie !

Earlier today, we released Mellifera 12.1. Shortly after, we published 3 new Cortex analyzers: WOT, YETI and Cuckoo Sandbox.

It’s time for us to rest. We are closing* TheHive’s code kitchen for most of August 2017 to enjoy all what France has to offer: wine (obviously), literature, beaches, mountains, gorgeous food, and a unique savoir vivre. 

So keep calm and eat croissants.

See you back soon. Au revoir !

Mellifera 12.1 Released

About a month ago, we published Mellifera 12 which brought numerous features such as mini-reports on the observable page, custom fields, alert similarity or template selection during alert imports.

Great, palatable recipes, even if they are cooked by fine French chefs, need to be refined over time and may not be as savoury as intended when they are served in their early days. Quality takes time, although smokeware vendors would have you think otherwise.

Mellifera 12.1 (TheHive 2.12.1) has been released to fix a number of outstanding bugs:

  • #249: renaming of users does not work
  • #254: TheHive does not send the file’s name when communicating with Cortex
  • #255: merging an alert into an existing case does not merge the alert description into the case’s description
  • #257: while TheHive does not let you add multiple attachments to a single task log, the UI makes you believe otherwise
  • #259: fix an API inconsistency. GET /api/case/task/:id/log has been fixed.
    And a new API call POST /api/case/task/:taskId/log/_search  has been added, which accepts a “query” in the request body to filter logs of the task.
  • #268: cannot create an alert if the IOC field is set for a single alert’s attribute.
  • #269: closing a case with an open task does not dismiss it from ‘My Tasks’.

This new minor release adds the following enhancements:

  • #267: fix warnings in the DEB package.
  • #272: in alert preview, similar cases are shown regardless of their status. Merged or deleted ones should not appear in that list.

How About the Test VM?

The test VM has not been updated yet. It still contains Mellifera 12 (TheHive 2.12.0). We will update it in September, probably when Mellifera 13 is released. That version will bring the ability to export cases as MISP events.
