Project description

Welcome to IntelMQ!
===================

**IntelMQ** is a solution for IT security teams (CERTs, CSIRTs, abuse
departments,...) for collecting and processing security feeds (such as
log files) using a message queuing protocol. It's a community driven
initiative called **IHAP** (Incident Handling Automation Project) which
was conceptually designed by European CERTs/CSIRTs during several
InfoSec events. Its main goal is to give to incident responders an easy
way to collect & process threat intelligence thus improving the incident
handling processes of CERTs.

IntelMQ's design was influenced by
[AbuseHelper](https://github.com/abusesa/abusehelper)
however it was re-written from scratch and aims at:

- Reduce the complexity of system administration
- Reduce the complexity of writing new bots for new data feeds
- Reduce the probability of events lost in all process with
persistence functionality (even system crash)
- Use and improve the existing Data Harmonization Ontology
- Use JSON format for all messages
- Integration of the existing tools (AbuseHelper, CIF)
- Provide easy way to store data into Log Collectors like
ElasticSearch, Splunk, databases (such as PostgreSQL)
- Provide easy way to create your own black-lists
- Provide easy communication with other systems via HTTP RESTFUL API

It follows the following basic meta-guidelines:

- Don't break simplicity - KISS
- Keep it open source - forever
- Strive for perfection while keeping a deadline
- Reduce complexity/avoid feature bloat
- Embrace unit testing
- Code readability: test with unexperienced programmers
- Communicate clearly
