MISP

Not long ago, the MISP project announced the ability to export NIDS rules created from events/indicators:

We can leverage this functionality by quickly and easily setting up an automated mechanism to pull NIDS rules from a MISP instance and add them to our local rules for Security Onion. To do so, we just need to follow the simple steps below.

Warning

Please keep in mind we do not officially support this integration, so installation is at your own risk.

Installation

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/weslambert/securityonion-misp

Run the setup script:

sudo securityonion-misp/so-misp-setup

Update rules (if desired):

sudo rule-update

Confirm rules in place:

grep -i misp /etc/nsm/rules/downloaded.rules

You should now be up and running!

MISP rules will be downloaded via cron-job at the interval specified in /etc/cron.d/download-misp.
