MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;
MariaDB [(none)]> exit

# Import the empty MISP database from MYSQL.sql
sudo -u www-data sh -c "mysql -u misp -p misp < /var/www/MISP/INSTALL/MYSQL.sql"
# enter the password you set previously


7/ Apache configuration
-----------------------
# Now configure your Apache webserver with the DocumentRoot /var/www/MISP/app/webroot/

sudo cp /var/www/MISP/INSTALL/apache.misp.ssl /etc/apache2/sites-available/misp-ssl.conf

# Be aware that the configuration files for apache 2.4 and up have changed.
# The configuration file has to have the .conf extension in the sites-available directory
# For more information, visit http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html

# If a valid SSL certificate is not already created for the server, create a self-signed certificate:
openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -days 365 -nodes -x509 \
-subj "/C=<Country>/ST=<State>/L=<Locality>/O=<Organization>/OU=<Organizational Unit Name>/CN=<QDN.here>/emailAddress=admin@<your.FQDN.here>" \
-keyout /etc/ssl/private/misp.local.key -out /etc/ssl/private/misp.local.crt

# Otherwise, copy the SSLCertificateFile, SSLCertificateKeyFile, and SSLCertificateChainFile to /etc/ssl/private/. (Modify path and config to fit your environment)

============================================= Begin sample working SSL config for MISP
<VirtualHost <IP, FQDN, or *>:80>
        ServerName <your.FQDN.here>

        Redirect permanent / https://<your.FQDN.here>

        LogLevel warn
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/misp.local_error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/misp.local_access.log combined
        ServerSignature Off
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost <IP, FQDN, or *>:443>
        ServerAdmin admin@<your.FQDN.here>
        ServerName <your.FQDN.here>
        DocumentRoot /var/www/MISP/app/webroot
        <Directory /var/www/MISP/app/webroot>
                Options -Indexes
                AllowOverride all
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>

        SSLEngine On
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/private/misp.local.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/misp.local.key
#        SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/ssl/private/misp-chain.crt

        LogLevel warn
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/misp.local_error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/misp.local_access.log combined
        ServerSignature Off
</VirtualHost>
============================================= End sample working SSL config for MISP

# activate new vhost
sudo a2dissite default-ssl
sudo a2ensite misp-ssl

# Restart apache
sudo systemctl restart apache2


8/ MISP configuration
---------------------
# There are 4 sample configuration files in /var/www/MISP/app/Config that need to be copied
sudo -u www-data cp -a /var/www/MISP/app/Config/bootstrap.default.php /var/www/MISP/app/Config/bootstrap.php
sudo -u www-data cp -a /var/www/MISP/app/Config/database.default.php /var/www/MISP/app/Config/database.php
sudo -u www-data cp -a /var/www/MISP/app/Config/core.default.php /var/www/MISP/app/Config/core.php
sudo -u www-data cp -a /var/www/MISP/app/Config/config.default.php /var/www/MISP/app/Config/config.php

# Configure the fields in the newly created files:
sudo -u www-data vim /var/www/MISP/app/Config/database.php
# login, port, password, database

# Important! Change the salt key in /var/www/MISP/app/Config/config.php
# The salt key must be a string at least 32 bytes long.
# The admin user account will be generated on the first login, make sure that the salt is changed before you create that user
# If you forget to do this step, and you are still dealing with a fresh installation, just alter the salt,
# delete the user from mysql and log in again using the default admin credentials (admin@admin.test / admin)

# Change base url in config.php
sudo -u www-data vim /var/www/MISP/app/Config/config.php
# example: 'baseurl' => 'https://<your.FQDN.here>',
# alternatively, you can leave this field empty if you would like to use relative pathing in MISP
# 'baseurl' => '',

# and make sure the file permissions are still OK
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/MISP/app/Config
sudo chmod -R 750 /var/www/MISP/app/Config

# Generate a GPG encryption key.
sudo -u www-data mkdir /var/www/MISP/.gnupg
sudo chmod 700 /var/www/MISP/.gnupg
sudo -u www-data gpg --homedir /var/www/MISP/.gnupg --gen-key
# The email address should match the one set in the config.php / set in the configuration menu in the administration menu configuration file

# And export the public key to the webroot
sudo -u www-data sh -c "gpg --homedir /var/www/MISP/.gnupg --export --armor YOUR-KEYS-EMAIL-HERE > /var/www/MISP/app/webroot/gpg.asc"

# To make the background workers start on boot
sudo chmod +x /var/www/MISP/app/Console/worker/start.sh
sudo vim /etc/rc.local
# Add the following line before the last line (exit 0). Make sure that you replace www-data with your apache user:
sudo -u www-data bash /var/www/MISP/app/Console/worker/start.sh

# Now log in using the webinterface:
# The default user/pass = admin@admin.test/admin

# Using the server settings tool in the admin interface (Administration -> Server Settings), set MISP up to your preference
# It is especially vital that no critical issues remain!
# start the workers by navigating to the workers tab and clicking restart all workers

# Don't forget to change the email, password and authentication key after installation.

# Once done, have a look at the diagnostics

# If any of the directories that MISP uses to store files is not writeable to the apache user, change the permissions
# you can do this by running the following commands:

sudo chmod -R 750 /var/www/MISP/<directory path with an indicated issue>
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/MISP/<directory path with an indicated issue>

# Make sure that the STIX libraries and GnuPG work as intended, if not, refer to INSTALL.txt's paragraphs dealing with these two items

# If anything goes wrong, make sure that you check MISP's logs for errors:
# /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/error.log
# /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/resque-worker-error.log
# /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/resque-scheduler-error.log
# /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/resque-2015-01-01.log // where the actual date is the current date


Recommended actions
-------------------
- By default CakePHP exposes its name and version in email headers. Apply a patch to remove this behavior.

- You should really harden your OS
- You should really harden the configuration of Apache
- You should really harden the configuration of MySQL/MariaDB
- Keep your software up2date (OS, MISP, CakePHP and everything else)
- Log and audit


Optional features
-------------------
# MISP has a new pub/sub feature, using ZeroMQ. To enable it, simply run the following command
sudo pip install pyzmq
# ZeroMQ depends on the Python client for Redis
sudo pip install redis
