Parse [indicators of compromise](https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/Indicators-of-Compromise-IOC) from text. You can test this project here: [http://ioc-finder.hightower.space/](http://ioc-finder.hightower.space/).

## Capabilities

Currently, this package can the following items in a given text:

- IP address (IPv4 and IPv6)
- Email addresses (both standard format (e.g. `[e-mail]`) and an email with an IP address as the domain (e.g. `test@[192.168.0.1]`))
- Domain names (support for Unicode domain names (e.g. `ȩxample.com`) is coming soon)
- URLs (URLs with and without schemes)
- File hashes (md5, sha1, sha256, and sha512)
- Registry Key paths (e.g. `"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows`)
- Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) (in multiple formats such as `asn1234` and `as 1234`)
- CVEs (e.g. `CVE-2014-1234`)
- CIDR ranges (currently ipv4 ranges; ipv6 ranges coming soon)
- Google Adsense Publisher IDs
- Google Analytics Tracker IDs
- Bitcoin addresses (P2PKH, P2SH, and Bech32)
- XMPP addresses (basically, this captures email addresses whose domain names contain "jabber" or "xmpp")
- MAC addresses
- SSDeep Hashes
- Others... if you have any requests, [let me know](https://github.com/fhightower/ioc-finder) (or you can contact me [here](https://hightower.space/contact/) to make private suggestions)!

Also provides some helpful features like:

- Option to parse domain name from a URL
- Option to parse domain name from an email address
- Option to parse IP address from a CIDR range
- Option to parse URLs without a scheme (e.g. without `https://`)

## Installation

To install this package:

```
pip install ioc-finder
```

## Usage

This package can be used in [python](#Python) or via a [command-line interface](#Command-Line Interface).

### Python

The primary function in this package is the `ioc_finder.find_iocs()` function. A simple usage looks like:

```python
from ioc_finder import find_iocs
text = "This is just an example.com https://example.org/test/bingo.php"
iocs = find_iocs(text)
print('Domains: {}'.format(iocs['domains']))
print('URLs: {}'.format(iocs['urls']))
```

#### Inputs

You must pass some text into the `find_iocs()` function as string (the iocs will be parsed from this text). You can also provide the options detailed below.

##### Options

The `find_iocs` takes the following keywords (all of them default to `True`):

- `parse_domain_from_url` (default=True): Whether or not to parse domain names from URLs (e.g. `example.com` from `https://example.com/test`)
- `parse_domain_from_email_address` (default=True): Whether or not to parse domain names from email addresses (e.g. `example.com` from `[e-mail]`)
- `parse_address_from_cidr` (default=True): Whether or not to parse IP addresses from CIDR ranges (e.g. `0.0.0.1` from `0.0.0.1/24`)
- `parse_urls_without_scheme` (default=True): Whether or not to parse URLs without a scheme (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier#Generic_syntax](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier#Generic_syntax)) (e.g. `hightower.space/projects`)

See [test_ioc_finder.py](https://github.com/fhightower/ioc-finder/blob/master/tests/test_ioc_finder.py) for more examples.

#### Output

The `find_iocs()` returns a dictionary in the following structure:

```json
{
"asns": [],
"bitcoin_addresses": [],
"complete_email_address": [],
"cves": [],
"domains": [],
"email_addresses": [],
"google_adsense_publisher_ids": [],
"google_analytics_tracker_ids": [],
"ipv4_cidrs": [],
"ipv4s": [],
"ipv6s": [],
"mac_addresses": [],
"md5s": [],
"registry_key_paths": [],
"sha1s": [],
"sha256s": [],
"sha512s": [],
"ssdeeps": [],
"urls": [],
"xmpp_addresses": []
}
```

For example, running the example code shown at the start of the [usage](#usage) section above produces the following output:

```json
{
"asns": [],
"bitcoin_addresses": [],
"complete_email_address": [],
"cves": [],
"domains": ["example.org", "example.com"],
"email_addresses": [],
"google_adsense_publisher_ids": [],
"google_analytics_tracker_ids": [],
"ipv4_cidrs": [],
"ipv4s": [],
"ipv6s": [],
"mac_addresses": [],
"md5s": [],
"registry_key_paths": [],
"sha1s": [],
"sha256s": [],
"sha512s": [],
"ssdeeps": [],
"urls": ["https://example.org/test/bingo.php"],
"xmpp_addresses": []
}
```

##### Output Details

There are two grammars for email addresses. There is a fairly complete grammar to find email addresses matching the spec (which is very broad). Any of these complete email addresses (e.g. `foo"[e-mail]`) will be sent as output to in `complete_email_addresses` key.

Email addresses in the simple form we are familiar with (e.g. `[e-mail]`) will be sent as output in the `email_addresses` key.

### Command-Line Interface

The ioc-finder package can be used from a command line like:

```
ioc-finder "This is just an example.com https://example.org/test/bingo.php"
```

This will return:

```json
{
"asns": [],
"bitcoin_addresses": [],
"complete_email_addresses": [],
"cves": [],
"domains": [
"example.com",
"example.org"
],
"email_addresses": [],
"google_adsense_publisher_ids": [],
"google_analytics_tracker_ids": [],
"ipv4_cidrs": [],
"ipv4s": [],
"ipv6s": [],
"md5s": [],
"registry_key_paths": [],
"sha1s": [],
"sha256s": [],
"sha512s": [],
"urls": [
"https://example.org/test/bingo.php"
],
"xmpp_addresses": [],
"mac_addresses": []
}
```

Here are the usage instructions for the CLI:

## Credits

This project uses the [ioc_fanger](https://github.com/ioc-fang/ioc_fanger) package to make sure that all indicators in the text are properly [fanged](https://ioc-fang.hightower.space/).

This package was created with [Cookiecutter](https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter) and Floyd Hightower's [python-project-template](https://gitlab.com/fhightower-templates/python-project-template) project template.

Previous iterations of this package were inspired by [https://github.com/mosesschwartz/extract_iocs](https://github.com/mosesschwartz/extract_iocs).

### Other Helpful Projects

You may also be interested in [https://github.com/ioc-fang/ioc_fanger](https://github.com/ioc-fang/ioc_fanger), a project to fang and defang indicators of compromise. For example,

defanging:

```
example.com => example[.]com
https://example.com => hXXps://example[.]com
```

and fanging:

```
example[.]com => example.com
example(.)com => example.com
me AT example(.)com => [e-mail]
```
