Extract and Vet Indicators of Compromise from both formatted and unformatted input data.
This project is still under development, so currently only the functionality for Extracting has been completed. The following indicators can be extracted at this time:
- MD5 Hashes
- SHA-256 Hashes
- IP Addresses
- Domain Names
- Email Addresses
Python 2.7.10 See requirements.txt file.
The program accepts one or more input file paths, and will display the results to the console; optionally, you can provide an output file path.
usage: intel.py [-h] -i INPUT PATH [INPUT PATH ...] [-o OUTPUT FILE] [-e] [-v]
Used for Extracting and Vetting Intel.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i INPUT PATH [INPUT PATH ...], --input INPUT PATH [INPUT PATH ...] one or more paths to input file or URL.
-o OUTPUT FILE, --output OUTPUT FILE optional path to output file.
-e, --extract extract intel from input data.
-v, --vet vet intel from input data.
- Ability to extract email addresses
- Ability to provide PDF file as an input path
- Identification and extraction of file names
- Identification and extraction of Registry Paths/Keys
- Auto-generation of OpenIOC file containing the identified Indicators of Compromise
- Auto-genearation of CybOX file containing the identified Indicators of Compromise
- Vetting the extracted Indicators using several methods, including:
- VirusTotal
- NIST NSRL
- IPVoid
- ThreatExpert
- VX Vault
- urlQuery
- URLVoid
- etc.
- This article has good info about PlugX (Chinese backdoor trojan), and how it was used against Mongolia. The blog post can be copied and pasted to a text file, or you can just give the program its URL:
python intel.py -e -i "http://www.bluecoat.com/security-blog/2013-11-25/plugx-used-against-mongolian-targets"
OR
python intel.py -e -i "/Users/Johnny/Test/plugx_intel.txt"

- We can see that there are a few legitimate domains that need to be excluded (e.g. yahoo.com), but removing those is much simpler than having to copy/paste each of the indicators from the blog.
