MISP galaxy format
draft-dulaunoy-misp-galaxy-format
Abstract
This document describes the MISP galaxy format which describes a
simple JSON format to represent galaxies and clusters that can be
attached to MISP events or attributes. A public directory of MISP
galaxies is available and relies on the MISP galaxy format. MISP
galaxies are used to add further informations on a MISP event. MISP
galaxy is a public repository [MISP-G] of known malware, threats
actors and various other collections of data that can be used to
mark, classify or label data in threat information sharing.

1. Introduction
Sharing threat information became a fundamental requirements on 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. Some of these informations, such as malware or
threat actors are common to several security events. MISP galaxy is
a public repository [MISP-G] of known malware, threats actors and
various other collections of data that can be used to mark, classify
or label data in threat information sharing.
In the MISP galaxy context, clusters help analysts to give more
informations about their cybersecurity events, indicators or threats.
MISP galaxies can be used for classification, filtering, triggering
actions or visualisation depending on their use in threat
intelligence platforms such as MISP [MISP-P].
1.1. Conventions and Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2. Format
A cluster is composed of a value (MUST), a description (OPTIONAL) and
metadata (OPTIONAL).

Internet-Draft MISP galaxy format April 2018
Clusters are represented as a JSON [RFC4627] dictionary.
2.1. Overview
The MISP galaxy format uses the JSON [RFC4627] format. Each galaxy
is represented as a JSON object with meta information including the
following fields: name, uuid, description, version, type, authors,
source, values.
name defines the name of the galaxy. The name is represented as a
string and MUST be present. The uuid represents the Universally
Unique IDentifier (UUID) [RFC4122] of the object reference. The uuid
MUST be preserved. For any updates or transfer of the same object
reference. UUID version 4 is RECOMMENDED when assigning it to a new
object reference and MUST be present. The description is represented
as a string and MUST be present. The uuid is represented as a string
and MUST be present. The version is represented as a decimal and
MUST be present. The source is represented as a string and MUST be
present. Authors are represented as an array containing one or more
authors and MUST be present.
Values are represented as an array containing one or more values and
MUST be present. Values defines all values available in the galaxy.
2.2. values
The values array contains one or more JSON objects which represents
all the possible values in the galaxy. The JSON object contains four
fields: value, description, uuid and meta. The value is represented
as a string and MUST be present. The description is represented as a
string and SHOULD be present. The meta or metadata is represented as
a JSON list and SHOULD be present. The uuid represents the
Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) [RFC4122] of the value
reference. The uuid SHOULD can be present and MUST be preserved.
2.3. meta
Meta contains a list of custom defined JSON key value pairs. Users
SHOULD reuse commonly used keys such as 'properties, complexity,
effectiveness, country, possible_issues, colour, motive, impact,
refs, synonyms, derivated_from, status, date, encryption, extensions,
ransomnotes' wherever applicable.
properties is used to provide clusters with additional properties.
Properties are represented as an array containing one or more strings
ans MAY be present.

Internet-Draft MISP galaxy format April 2018
complexity, effectiveness, impact, possible_issues MAY be used to
give further information in preventive-measure galaxy. complexity is
represented by an enumerated value from a fixed vocabulary and SHALL
be present. effectiveness is represented by an enumerated value from
a fixed vocabulary and SHALL be present. impact is represented by an
enumerated value from a fixed vocabulary and SHALL be present.
possible_issues is represented as a string and SHOULD be present.
country, motive MAY be used to give further information in threat-
actor galaxy. country is represented as a string and SHOULD be
present. motive is represented as a string and SHOULD be present.
colour fields MAY be used at predicates or values level to set a
specify colour that MAY be used by the implementation. The colour
field is described as an RGB colour fill in hexadecimal
representation.
encryption, extensions, ransomnotes MAY be used to give further
information in ransomware galaxy. encryption is represented as a
string and SHALL be present. extensions is represented as an array
containing one or more strings and SHALL be present. ransomnotes is
represented as an array containing one or more strings ans SHALL be
present.
date, status MAY be used to give time information about an cluster.
date is represented as a string describing a time or period and SHALL
be present. status is represented as a string describing the current
status of the clusters. It MAY also describe a time or period and
SHALL be present.
derivated_from, refs, synonyms SHALL be used to give further
informations. refs is represented as an containing one or ore string
and SHALL be present. synonyms is represented as an containing one or
ore string and SHALL be present. derivated_from is represented as an
containing one or ore string and SHALL be present.

the creation of open standards in threat intelligence sharing.
