ttpnav

A package to navigate MITRE ATT&CK data easily.

The inspiration of this Python library is to give users the ability to effortlessly comb through associated items with 1 query, instead of having to make the associations manually.

If a user wants to get information regarding a specific technique, then the user simply needs to use the MITRE Attack ID of the desired technique and all available MITRE CTI information will be available regarding that technique. This includes mitigations, detections, procedure examples, groups using the technique and software/tools using the technique.

Note: Some queries can take 1-2 minutes to complete.

Installation

To use this package, install the ttpnav Python library with pip:

pip install ttpnav

Data Models

All objects should have the below shared data structure.

Type                            :       type
Spec Version                    :       spec_version
STIX ID                         :       id
Created by Reference            :       created_by_ref
Created                         :       created

MITRE Attack ID                 :       external_id

Some objects have additional items that can be referenced. These will be outlined below. The structure of the data allows users to get all associated entities to the item(s) they queried for. The associated data will be extended via additional dictionaries.
