Clusters and elements to attach to MISP events or attributes (like threat actors)

misp-galaxy

MISP galaxy is a simple method to express a large object called cluster that can be attached to MISP events or attributes. A cluster can be composed of one or more elements. Elements are expressed as key-values. There are default vocabularies available in MISP galaxy but those can be overwritten, replaced or updated as you wish.

Existing clusters and vocabularies can be used as-is or as a template. MISP distribution can be applied to each cluster to permit a limited or broader distribution scheme.

Vocabularies are from existing standards (like STIX, Veris, MISP and so on) or custom ones.

The objective is to have a comment set of clusters for organizations starting analysis but that can be expanded to localized information (which is not shared) or additional information (that can be shared).

Available clusters

• clusters/android.json - Android malware galaxy based on multiple open sources.

• clusters/banker.json - A list of banker malware.

MISP Integration

Starting from MISP 2.4.56, galaxy is integrated within the MISP threat sharing platform and users can directly benefit from the available clusters to attach them to the MISP event.
