mfpandas-racfhound 0.1.1

BloodHound OpenGraph exporter for mfpandas RACF data

mfpandas-racfhound

Transforms a parsed mfpandas IRRDBU00 object into BloodHound OpenGraph JSON for RACF attack path analysis.

Installation

pip install mfpandas-racfhound

Requires Python 3.10+ and mfpandas.

Usage

Parse your IRRDBU00 unload with mfpandas, then pass it to to_bloodhound:

import time
from mfpandas import IRRDBU00
from mfpandas_racfhound import to_bloodhound

racf = IRRDBU00(irrdbu00="/path/to/irrdbu00.dump")
racf.parse()
while racf._state < IRRDBU00.STATE_READY:
    time.sleep(0.1)

graph = to_bloodhound(
    racf,
    apf_libs={"SYS1.LINKLIB", "SYS1.SVCLIB"},
    parmlib_datasets={"SYS1.PARMLIB"},
    proclib_datasets={"SYS1.PROCLIB"},
)

to_bloodhound returns a dict ready for upload to the BloodHound API:

{
    "graph": {
        "nodes": [...],
        "edges": [...]
    }
}

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
racf	mfpandas.IRRDBU00	Parsed IRRDBU00 instance
apf_libs	set[str]	APF library DSNs (uppercase). Used to resolve generic dataset profiles to concrete APF libraries.
parmlib_datasets	set[str]	PARMLIB dataset DSNs
proclib_datasets	set[str]	PROCLIB dataset DSNs

All DSN sets are optional and default to empty. Without them, generic profile resolution against APF/PARMLIB/PROCLIB libraries is skipped.

Writing output to a file

import json

with open("racf_opengraph.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(graph, f)

Uploading to BloodHound

import httpx

resp = httpx.post(
    "https://<bloodhound-host>/api/v2/graphs/upload",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"},
    json=graph,
)
resp.raise_for_status()

mfpandas integration

mfpandas-racfhound can be wired into the mfpandas.IRRDBU00 class as an optional plugin, exposing racf.to_bloodhound() directly without making it a hard dependency:

# In mfpandas IRRDBU00 class:
def to_bloodhound(self, **kwargs):
    try:
        from mfpandas_racfhound import to_bloodhound
        return to_bloodhound(self, **kwargs)
    except ImportError:
        raise ImportError("Install mfpandas-racfhound for BloodHound export support")

Once wired up, users can call:

graph = racf.to_bloodhound(apf_libs={"SYS1.LINKLIB"})

Running tests

pip install pytest
pytest

The test suite uses a self-contained fixture dump built from raw IRRDBU00 records — no external files or mainframe access required.

To run a specific test file:

pytest tests/test_generics.py    # wildcard matching and specificity unit tests
pytest tests/test_integration.py # end-to-end graph output tests
