Docker MISP Container

NOTE: Cannot autobuild on DockerHub due to size+time limit, and we refuse to break this up into multiple images and chain them just to get around the tiny resources that DockerHub provides!

Github repo + build script here: https://github.com/harvard-itsecurity/docker-misp

What is this?

This is an easy and highly customizable Docker container with MISP - Malware Information Sharing Platform & Threat Sharing (http://www.misp-project.org)

Our goal was to provide a way to setup + run MISP in less than a minute!

We follow the official MISP installation steps everywhere possible, while adding automation around tedious manual steps and configurations.

We have done this without sacrificing options and the ability to customize MISP for your unique environment! Some examples include: auto changing the salt hash, auto initializing the database, auto generating GPG keys, auto generating working + secure configs, and adding custom passwords/domain names/email addresses/ssl certificates.

The misp-modules extensions functionality has been included and can be accessed from http://[dockerhostip]:6666/modules. (thanks to Conrad)

How to run it in 3 steps:

1. Initialize Database

docker run -it --rm \
    -v /misp-db:/var/lib/mysql \
    harvarditsecurity/misp /init-db

2. Start the container

docker run -it -d \
    -p 443:443 \
    -p 80:80 \
    -p 3306:3306 \
    -v /misp-db:/var/lib/mysql \
    harvarditsecurity/misp

3. Access Web URL

Go to: https://localhost (or your "MISP_FQDN" setting)

Login: admin@admin.test
Password: admin

And change the password! :)

What can you customize/pass during build?

You can customize the build.sh script to pass custom:

• MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
• MYSQL_MISP_PASSWORD
• POSTFIX_RELAY_HOST
• MISP_FQDN
• MISP_EMAIL

See build.sh for an example on how to customize and build your own image with custom defaults.

How to use custom SSL Certificates:

During run-time, override /etc/ssl/private

docker run -it -d \
    -p 443:443 \
    -p 80:80 \
    -p 3306:3306 \
    -v /certs:/etc/ssl/private \
    -v /misp-db:/var/lib/mysql \
    harvarditsecurity/misp

And in your /certs dir, create private/public certs with file names:

• misp.key
• misp.cert

Security note in regards to key generation:

We have added "rng-tools" in order to help with entropy generation, since users have mentioned that during the pgp generation, some systems have a hard time creating enough "randomness". This in turn uses a pseudo-random generator, which is not 100% secure. If this is a concern for a production environment, you can either 1.) take out the "rng-tools" part from the Dockerfile and re-build the container, or 2.) replace the keys with your own! For most users, this should not ever be an issue. The "rng-tools" is removed as part of the build process after it has been used.
