Chris Lenk c3a1c3dc3a Include IPython notebooks in Sphinx docs 
Note: The first cell in each .ipynb file contains code to suppress
tracebacks in output cells. Thus cells that generate exceptions will
only output the error, without the traceback, which makes the
documentation easier to read.

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

This is an `OASIS 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
STIX 2 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/en/latest/>`__ on
ReadTheDocs.

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

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

::

    pip install stix2

Usage
-----

Creating STIX Domain Objects
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To create a STIX object, provide keyword arguments to the type's
constructor:

.. code:: python

    from stix2 import Indicator

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

Certain required attributes of all objects will be set automatically if
not provided as keyword arguments:

-  If not provided, ``type`` will be set automatically to the correct
   type. You can also provide the type explicitly, but this is not
   necessary:

.. code:: python

    indicator = Indicator(type='indicator', ...)

Passing a value for ``type`` that does not match the class being
constructed will cause an error:

.. code:: python

    >>> indicator = Indicator(type='xxx', ...)
    stix2.exceptions.InvalidValueError: Invalid value for Indicator 'type': must equal 'indicator'.

-  If not provided, ``id`` will be generated randomly. If you provide an
   ``id`` argument, it must begin with the correct prefix:

.. code:: python

    >>> indicator = Indicator(id="campaign--63ce9068-b5ab-47fa-a2cf-a602ea01f21a")
    stix2.exceptions.InvalidValueError: Invalid value for Indicator 'id': must start with 'indicator--'.

-  If not provided, ``created`` and ``modified`` will be set to the
   (same) current time.

For indicators, ``labels`` and ``pattern`` are required and cannot be
set automatically. Trying to create an indicator that is missing one of
these properties will result in an error:

.. code:: python

    >>> indicator = Indicator()
    stix2.exceptions.MissingPropertiesError: No values for required properties for Indicator: (labels, pattern).

However, the required ``valid_from`` attribute on Indicators will be set
to the current time if not provided as a keyword argument.

Once created, the object acts like a frozen dictionary. Properties can
be accessed using the standard Python dictionary syntax:

.. code:: python

    >>> indicator['name']
    'File hash for malware variant'

TBD: Should we allow property access using the standard Python attribute
syntax?

.. code:: python

    >>> indicator.name
    'File hash for malware variant'

Attempting to modify any attributes will raise an error:

.. code:: python

    >>> indicator['name'] = "This is a revised name"
    TypeError: 'Indicator' object does not support item assignment
    >>> indicator.name = "This is a revised name"
    stix2.exceptions.ImmutableError: Cannot modify properties after creation.

To update the properties of an object, see `Versioning <#versioning>`__
below.

Creating a Malware object follows the same pattern:

.. code:: python

    from stix2 import Malware

    malware = Malware(name="Poison Ivy",
                      labels=['remote-access-trojan'])

As with indicators, the ``type``, ``id``, ``created``, and ``modified``
properties will be set automatically if not provided. For Malware
objects, the ``labels`` and ``name`` properties must be provided.

Creating Relationships
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

STIX 2 Relationships are separate objects, not properties of the object
on either side of the relationship. They are constructed similarly to
other STIX objects. The ``type``, ``id``, ``created``, and ``modified``
properties are added automatically if not provided. Callers must provide
the ``relationship_type``, ``source_ref``, and ``target_ref``
properties.

.. code:: python

    from stix2 import Relationship

    relationship = Relationship(relationship_type='indicates',
                                source_ref=indicator.id,
                                target_ref=malware.id)

The ``source_ref`` and ``target_ref`` properties can be either the ID's
of other STIX objects, or the STIX objects themselves. For readability,
Relationship objects can also be constructed with the ``source_ref``,
``relationship_type``, and ``target_ref`` as positional (non-keyword)
arguments:

.. code:: python

    relationship = Relationship(indicator, 'indicates', malware)

Creating Bundles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

STIX Bundles can be created by passing objects as arguments to the
Bundle constructor. All required properties (``type``, ``id``, and
``spec_version``) will be set automatically if not provided, or can be
provided as keyword arguments:

.. code:: python

    from stix2 import bundle

    bundle = Bundle(indicator, malware, relationship)

Serializing STIX objects
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The string representation of all STIX classes is a valid STIX JSON
object.

.. code:: python

    indicator = Indicator(...)

    print(str(indicator))

Versioning
~~~~~~~~~~

TBD
