threatingestor 1.0.0b8

Extract and aggregate IOCs from threat feeds.

An extendable tool to extract and aggregate IOCs from threat feeds.

Integrates out-of-the-box with ThreatKB and MISP, and can fit seamlessly into any existing worflow with SQS, Beanstalk, and custom plugins.

Currently used by InQuest Labs IOC-DB: https://labs.inquest.net/iocdb.

Overview

ThreatIngestor can be configured to watch Twitter, RSS feeds, or other sources, extract meaningful information such as malicious IPs/domains and YARA signatures, and send that information to another system for analysis.

Usage

Create a new config.yml file, and configure each source and operator module you want to use. (See config.example.yml for layout.) Then run the script:

By default, it will run forever, polling each configured source every 15 minutes.

Threat Intel Sources

Looking for some threat intel sources to get started? InQuest has a Twitter List with several accounts that post C2 domains and IPs: https://twitter.com/InQuest/lists/ioc-feed. Note that you will need to apply for a Twitter developer account to use the ThreatIngestor Twitter Source. Take a look at config.example.yml to see how to set this list up as a source.

For quicker setup, RSS feeds can be a great source of intelligence. Check out this example RSS config file for a few pre-configured security blogs.
