INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------- # For Ubuntu 16.04-server with Webmin preinstalled # Assuming you created the subdomanin misp.yourserver.tld to where MISP will be installed # and that the user "misp" is in the sudoers group # and that you have already configured SSL with Lets Encrypt on the subdomain 1/ Minimal Ubuntu install ------------------------- # Login as misp # Make sure your system is up2date: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade 2/ Install LAMP & dependencies ------------------------------ Once the system is installed you can perform the following steps: # Install the dependencies: (some might already be installed) sudo apt-get install curl gcc git gnupg-agent make python openssl redis-server sudo vim zip python3 # Stop MySQL and install MariaDB (a MySQL fork/alternative) # MariaDB will replace MySQL and it will work with the latests versions of Webmin without modifications # WARNING: Databases and data may be lost! It is assumed you are installing on a new server with no existing DBs sudo service mysql stop sudo apt-get install mariadb-client mariadb-server # Secure the MariaDB installation (especially by setting a strong root password) sudo mysql_secure_installation # Install PHP and dependencies sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php php php-cli php-crypt-gpg php-dev php-json php-mysql php-opcache php-readline php-redis php-xml php-gd # Apply all changes sudo systemctl restart apache2 3/ MISP code ------------ # Assuming you created the subdomanin misp.yourserver.tld # Download MISP using git in the /home/misp/public_html/. git clone https://github.com/MISP/MISP.git /home/misp/public_html/MISP cd /home/misp/public_html/MISP git checkout tags/$(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`) # if the last shortcut doesn't work, specify the latest version manually # example: git checkout tags/v2.4.XY # the message regarding a "detached HEAD state" is expected behaviour # (you only have to create a new branch, if you want to change stuff and do a pull request for example) # Make git ignore filesystem permission differences git config core.filemode false # install Mitre's STIX and its dependencies by running the following commands: sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev python-setuptools cd /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/files/scripts git clone https://github.com/CybOXProject/python-cybox.git git clone https://github.com/STIXProject/python-stix.git cd /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/files/scripts/python-cybox sudo python3 setup.py install cd /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/files/scripts/python-stix sudo python3 setup.py install # install mixbox to accommodate the new STIX dependencies: cd /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/files/scripts/ git clone https://github.com/CybOXProject/mixbox.git cd /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/files/scripts/mixbox sudo python3 setup.py install # install PyMISP cd /var/www/MISP/PyMISP sudo python3 setup.py install 4/ CakePHP ----------- # CakePHP is included as a submodule of MISP, execute the following commands to let git fetch it: cd /home/misp/public_html/MISP git submodule init git submodule update # Once done, install CakeResque along with its dependencies if you intend to use the built in background jobs: cd /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app php composer.phar require kamisama/cake-resque:4.1.2 php composer.phar config vendor-dir Vendor php composer.phar install # Enable CakeResque with php-redis sudo phpenmod redis # To use the scheduler worker for scheduled tasks, do the following: cp -fa /home/misp/public_html/MISP/INSTALL/setup/config.php /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Plugin/CakeResque/Config/config.php 5/ Set the permissions ---------------------- # Check if the permissions are set correctly using the following commands: sudo chmod -R 750 /home/misp/public_html/MISP sudo chmod -R g+ws /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/tmp sudo chmod -R g+ws /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/files sudo chmod -R g+ws /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/files/scripts/tmp 6/ Create a database and user ----------------------------- # Enter the mysql shell sudo mysql -u root -p MariaDB [(none)]> create database misp; MariaDB [(none)]> grant usage on *.* to misp@localhost identified by 'XXXXdbpasswordhereXXXXX'; MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on misp.* to misp@localhost; MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges; MariaDB [(none)]> exit # Import the empty MISP database from MYSQL.sql sh -c "mysql -u misp -p misp < /home/misp/public_html/MISP/INSTALL/MYSQL.sql" # enter the password you set previously 7/ Apache configuration ----------------------- # Most of it should have been done when you created the subdomain but add these changes as well # Under :80> # ServerName # add Redirect permanent / https:// ServerSignature Off # Closing tag # Under :443> # ServerAdmin admin@ # ServerName # etc... # find the document root and change it as follows DocumentRoot /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/webroot # The Directory tag should be changed to: # The rest should't require modifications. Restart Apache sudo service apache2 restart 9/ MISP configuration --------------------- # There are 4 sample configuration files in /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Config that need to be copied cp -a /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Config/bootstrap.default.php /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Config/bootstrap.php cp -a /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Config/database.default.php /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Config/database.php cp -a /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Config/core.default.php /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Config/core.php cp -a /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Config/config.default.php /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Config/config.php # Configure the fields in the newly created files: vim /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Config/database.php # DATABASE_CONFIG has to be filled # With the default values provided in section 6, this would look like: # class DATABASE_CONFIG { # public $default = array( # 'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql', # 'persistent' => false, # 'host' => 'localhost', # 'login' => 'misp', // grant usage on *.* to misp@localhost # 'port' => 3306, # 'password' => 'XXXXdbpasswordhereXXXXX', // identified by 'XXXXdbpasswordhereXXXXX'; # 'database' => 'misp', // create database misp; # 'prefix' => '', # 'encoding' => 'utf8', # ); #} # 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 vim /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Config/config.php # example: 'baseurl' => 'https://', # alternatively, you can leave this field empty if you would like to use relative pathing in MISP # 'baseurl' => '', # 'email' => 'anemail@yourdomain.tld, set an email address that will be used for gpg # and make sure the file permissions are still OK chmod -R 750 /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/Config # Generate a GPG encryption key. mkdir /home/misp/public_html/MISP/.gnupg chmod 700 /home/misp/public_html/MISP/.gnupg # If you get no satisfaction with your entropy install this: sudo apt-get install haveged pv #Generate entropy for the next step, open a new shell and run the following command: haveged -n 0 | pv > /dev/null # It should start saying something like "Writing unlimited bytes to stdout" # let it run and go back to the previous shell gpg --homedir /home/misp/public_html/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 # You can now Ctrel+C the running haveged in the other shell # and return to the "install" shell # Export the public key to the webroot sh -c "gpg --homedir /home/misp/public_html/MISP/.gnupg --export --armor YOUR-KEYS-EMAIL-HERE > /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/webroot/gpg.asc" # To make the background workers start on boot chmod +x /home/misp/public_html/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 /home/misp/public_html/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 /home/misp/public_html/MISP/ sudo chown -R misp:misp /home/misp/public_html/MISP/ # 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: # /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/tmp/logs/error.log # /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/tmp/logs/resque-worker-error.log # /home/misp/public_html/MISP/app/tmp/logs/resque-scheduler-error.log # /home/misp/public_html/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 # MISP has a feature for publishing events to Kafka. To enable it, simply run the following commands apt-get install librdkafka-dev php-dev pecl install rdkafka find /etc -name php.ini | while read f; do echo 'extension=rdkafka.so' | tee -a "$f"; done # For the experimental ssdeep correlations, run the following installation: # installing ssdeep wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ssdeep/ssdeep-2.13/ssdeep-2.13.tar.gz tar zxvf ssdeep-2.13.tar.gz cd ssdeep-2.13 ./configure make sudo make install ssdeep -h # test #installing ssdeep_php sudo pecl install ssdeep # You should add "extension=ssdeep.so" to mods-available - Check /etc/php for your current version echo "extension=ssdeep.so" | sudo tee /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/ssdeep.ini sudo phpenmod ssdeep sudo service apache2 restart Optional features: misp-modules ------------------------------- # If you want to add the misp modules functionality, follow the setup procedure described in misp-modules: # https://github.com/MISP/misp-modules#how-to-install-and-start-misp-modules # Then the enrichment, export and import modules can be enabled in MISP via the settings.
