Abstract
This document describes the MISP core format used to exchange
indicators and threat information between MISP (Malware Information
and threat Sharing Platform) instances. The JSON format includes the
overall structure along with the semantic associated for each
respective key. The format is described to support other
implementations which reuse the format and ensuring an
interoperability with existing MISP [MISP-P] software and other

Threat Intelligence Platforms.

1. Introduction
Sharing threat information became a fundamental requirements in the
Internet, security and intelligence community at large. Threat
information can include indicators of compromise, malicious file
indicators, financial fraud indicators or even detailed information
about a threat actor. MISP started as an open source project in late
2016-10-01 12:47:20 +02:00
2011 and the MISP format started to be widely used as an exchange
format within the community in the past years. The aim of this
document is to describe the specification and the MISP core format.
2. Format
2.1. Overview
The MISP core format is in the JSON [RFC4627] format. In MISP, an
event is composed of a single JSON object.
2.2. Event
2016-10-01 12:47:20 +02:00
An event is a simple meta structure scheme where attributes and meta-
data are embedded to compose a coherent set of indicators. An event
can be composed from an incident, a security analysis report or a
specific threat actor analysis. The meaning of an event only depends
of the information embedded in the event.
