MISP Feed Generator

CrowdSec

📚 Documentation 💠 Hub 💬 Discourse

This Remediation Component generates MISP Feed from CrowdSec decisions. It exposes this Feed over HTTP/S. This can be used to feed CrowdSec decisions to MISP using the "Feeds" functionality of MISP.

Quick Start

Installation using pip

Make sure you've Python 3.6+ installed. Using virtualenv is recommended. Run the following command to install the feed generator.

pip install crowdsec-misp-feed-generator

Installation using docker:

Refer to docker hub docs

Configuration

Run the following command to generate the base configuration file:

crowdsec-misp-feed-generator -g > crowdsec-misp-feed-generator.yaml

This will generate a configuration file named crowdsec-misp-feed-generator.yaml in the current directory.

You need to edit this file to configure the feed generator. Make sure you give the correct LAPI key and URL. You can generate a LAPI key using the following command on the machine with CrowdSec installed.

cscli bouncers add crowdsec-misp-feed-generator

Please refer to configuration reference section for more details on the configuration options.

Running the feed generator

After configuring the feed generator, you can run it using the following command:

crowdsec-misp-feed-generator -c crowdsec-misp-feed-generator.yaml

This will start the feed generator and expose the feed over HTTP/S, on the configured port and address.

Setting MISP to use the feed

You can now configure MISP to use this feed. To do this:

  1. Navigate to the "Feeds" tab in MISP.

MISP Feeds

  1. Click on the "Add Feed" button.

MISP Add Feed

Fill the form with appropriate details. Don't forget to set the authentication if you've enabled it in the feed generator configuration.

  1. That's it! You can now use the feed in MISP. You can test it by clicking on the "Fetch now" button in the actions column. Few events should be added to MISP.
