--- description: Convention Used in MISP-Book --- # Convention Used in This Book `code block or value` * Used for variable, function or menu names in MISP. ## Language The language in this book is american english. All the screenshots and examples are in english. ## CoC The same code of conduct applies to this book as for the main MISP project. As a book can some times be considered the inadvertent sould of a piece of software, please take good care and consideration of our `Code of Conduct`. The CoC [can be read here](https://github.com/MISP/MISP/blob/2.4/code_of_conduct.md). ## Example install The examples and screenshots provided in this book have been created with the MISP Autogenerated VM.

Whilst we have no strong feelings towards anyones naming schemes, as a rule of thumb try to have a scheme that makes everyday use easy when analysts need to talk about remote MISP instances. The hostname used for the instance in this book is `misp.local` and we will henceforth refer to it either by name or as `local MISP instance`. ## Example Organisations As MISP is a platform to support information sharing, example organisations are often used within this book. A set of users and organisations are used in the different examples. The following two organisations are regularly used as example: * Setec Astronomy with UUID `58d38339-7b24-4386-b4b4-4c0f950d210f` * Acme Finance with UUID `58d38326-eda8-443a-9fa8-4e12950d210f` Starting from MISP 2.4.71, the example organisations with the above mentioned UUID are **black-listed** to avoid large distribution of sample events while testing a MISP instance. If you want to test your distribution, the sample organisation black-listing can be removed in `Administration`/`Manage Org Blacklists`. ## Example IOCs As with the example organisations, we want to make this book as useful as possible by using real life examples. The following IOC examples have been used: * [Sirefef](https://www.misp-project.org/galaxy.html#_zeroaccess) (aka ZeroAccess) Sample Event ID: #31337 * [WannaCry](https://www.misp-project.org/galaxy.html#_wannacry) Sample Event ID: #42 * [Dridex](https://www.misp-project.org/galaxy.html#_dridex) Sample Event ID: #23
