cti-python-stix2
================

This is an `OASIS TC Open Repository <https://www.oasis-open.org/resources/open-repositories/>`__.
See the `Governance <#governance>`__ section for more information.

This repository provides Python APIs for serializing and de-serializing STIX2
JSON content, along with higher-level APIs for common tasks, including data
markings, versioning, and for resolving STIX IDs across multiple data sources.

For more information, see `the documentation <https://stix2.readthedocs.io/>`__ on ReadTheDocs.

Installation
------------

Install with `pip <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/>`__:

.. code-block:: bash

  $ pip install stix2

Usage
-----

To create a STIX object, provide keyword arguments to the type's constructor.
Certain required attributes of all objects, such as ``type`` or ``id``,  will
be set automatically if not provided as keyword arguments.

.. code-block:: python

    from stix2 import Indicator

    indicator = Indicator(name="File hash for malware variant",
                          indicator_types=["malicious-activity"],
                          pattern_type="stix",
                          pattern="[file:hashes.md5 = 'd41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e']")

To parse a STIX JSON string into a Python STIX object, use ``parse()``:

.. code-block:: python

    from stix2 import parse

    indicator = parse("""{
        "type": "indicator",
        "spec_version": "2.1",
        "id": "indicator--dbcbd659-c927-4f9a-994f-0a2632274394",
        "created": "2017-09-26T23:33:39.829Z",
        "modified": "2017-09-26T23:33:39.829Z",
        "name": "File hash for malware variant",
        "indicator_types": [
            "malicious-activity"
        ],
        "pattern_type": "stix",
        "pattern_version": "2.1",
        "pattern": "[file:hashes.md5 ='d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e']",
        "valid_from": "2017-09-26T23:33:39.829952Z"
    }""")

    print(indicator)

STIX 2.X Technical Specification Support
----------------------------------------

This version of python-stix2 brings initial support to STIX 2.1 currently at the
CSD level. The intention is to help debug components of the library and also
check for problems that should be fixed in the specification.

The `stix2` Python library is built to support multiple versions of the STIX
Technical Specification. With every major release of stix2 the ``import stix2``
statement will automatically load the SDO/SROs equivalent to the most recent
supported 2.X Committee Specification. Please see the library documentation for
more details.
