</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A common difficulty in threat intelligence is to improve existing analyses and especially how to do it efficiently.
One of the main questions to ask is:</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><strong>"What will be the target audience of the improved analysis and the objective thereof?</strong>"</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The following three answers could come to mind.</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>Informing the original analyst/author (e.g. a security vendor or a CSIRT) about a specific mistake or error which needs to be corrected.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Improving an existing analysis by performing a complementary analysis or review which will be shared to and used by another group (e.g. a specific constituent, or a team within your organisation or a member of an ISAC, etc).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The end-consumer will be an automaton.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In the <strong>1st</strong> case, <a href="#MISP">MISP</a> includes a mechanism to propose changes to the original creator, a mechanism MISP refers to as proposals. By using proposals, you can propose a change to the value or the context of an attribute (such as a typographic error in an IP address, missing contextual information, type of the information, the category or the removal of an IDS flag). The proposal will be sent back to the original author who can decide to accept or discard it.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The advantages of using the proposal system include the lack of a need to create a new event as well as the process itself being very simple and fast. However, it assumes that the party providing the improvements is willing to lose control over the proposed data. This is pretty efficient for small changes but for more comprehensive changes, especially those that include non-attribute information such as galaxy clusters or objects, the event extension is more appropriate.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Apart from being more suitable for more comprehensive changes, the <strong>2nd</strong> scenario is also a great fit for the extended event functionality, allowing users wanting to provide additional information or an alternate view-point with the opportunity of creating a self-contained event (which can have its own custom distribution rules) that references the original analysis. This information can be shared back to the original author or kept within a limited distribution scope such as a specific sector, a trust group or as internal information for the organisation providing the additional information.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock tip">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<i class="fa icon-tip" title="Tip"></i>
</td>
<td class="content">
For more information about the extended event functionality in MISP, the blog post <strong><a href="http://www.misp-project.org/2018/04/19/Extended-Events-Feature.html">Introducing The New Extended Events Feature in MISP</a></strong> includes a lot of details.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In the <strong>3rd</strong> scenario your use-case might be highly automated, e.g. scripted processing of events and attributes via <a href="https://github.com/MISP/PyMISP">PyMISP</a> and the end-consumer is mainly another automated process, e.g. Intrusion Detection System, 3rd part visualization tool etc.
This, for automagic reasons, becomes exponentially unreliable.
What is primal in this case is to fully understand what the <a href="#IDS">IDS</a> flag in MISP does and how it impacts attributes.
Further on, it is even more important to fully understand the entire tool-chain, cradle-to-grave style.
Where does the data come from (cradle) where does it go to (grave) and what processes "touch" the data as it flows through, small diagrams can help tremendously to visualize the actual data-flow.
Those diagrams will mostly be of use once unexpected results occur, or other errors appear somewhere in the chain.</p>

<h3 id="_intelligence_tagging">Intelligence Tagging</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>There are several factors to successful and efficient intelligence sharing. Certainly, one major aspect is the quality of the indicators (or <a href="#observables">observable</a> depending on the definition you use),
stored as attributes within a MISP event itself.
However, it does not stop there. Even the most viable information gained by a shared event can render itself complete useless if not classified and tagged accordingly.
One feature which enables a uniformed classification is implemented in MISP as tags. Currently, there are two types of tags, which differ in the respective place they are set.</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>You can add tags to an <strong>entire event</strong>. These <strong>tags should be valid for any individual attribute</strong>, thus indicator associated to this specific event.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>For a more fine-grained specification all of these tags can also be placed at attribute level. This allows the user to put a more detailed and selective view on each attribute.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock note">
<table>
<tr>
<td class="icon">
<i class="fa icon-note" title="Note"></i>
</td>
<td class="content">
Currently there is no programmatic way that prevents you from not following the 1st rule. Thus human garbage tagging in automation output potentially useless.

<div class="admonitionblock note">

<tr>
<td class="icon">
<i class="fa icon-note" title="Note"></i>

In future releases there will also be tagging for MISP Objects. Which is, somehow, an intermediate solution for the two prior mentioned options.

<a href="#MISPObjects">MISP Objects</a> in its plain concept is a grouping of indicators within one event. These grouped indicators are somehow logically linked together. The specific relationship is described by the individual object type.
A simple <strong>file object</strong>, links for example a filename to its observed hash values (md5, sha1, sha256 and many more). This can further be enriched via misp-modules or other plug-ins.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A frequent use-case for placing additional tags on <a href="#Attribute">attribute</a> level would be to lower the confidence in certain attributes. If the event is classified with a high confidence tag, some indicators e.g. legit-but-compromised domains or popular filenames should be labeled with a lowered confidence class. There are several real world examples where this or similar attribute specific tagging has proven to be worthwhile.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Most of the tags are organised in dedicated MISP Taxonomies. Those schema dictate how tags should look like and how they are to be applied in certain conditions.
There are many general details on this topic which can be read up on in the main <a href="https://github.com/MISP/misp-taxonomies">MISP Taxonomy GitHub repository</a>.
Currently, there are more than 60 different taxonomies available, each of them containing a number of different tags, which are steadily increasing and evolving.
There are a lot of advantages in having such a vast variety of tags, e.g. there is one tag for each known associated malware type.</p>
</div>

<p>However, this sheer amount of tags can lead to two main concerns, <strong>over-tagging</strong> and <strong>miss-tagging</strong>. Beginners can be overwhelmed with the large number of available tags, and might miss exactly the required taxonomy to properly label the to be shared data.
As a site administrator it is thus important to enable the taxonomies that are known to the users on the MISP instance, (or to remote organizations you might sync with).</p>

In MISP making a Taxonomy available is a 2-step process. First you make the taxonomy available and then you can either decide to enable all the individual tags in the taxonomy or cherry-pick only the relevant ones for your use-case. (The Vocabulary for Event Recording and Incident Sharing (VERIS) has well over 1990 tags, and perhaps you are only interested in the sub-set <code>veris:action:error:variety</code>).

<p>Over-tagging in most cases only leads to an overwhelming visual appearance. Miss-tagging, however, is a critical step into mis-usage of shared data.
The best and most devastating example would be the miss classification of an event. In dedicated and private sharing groups it is quite usual to share intelligence labeled as „for your company only“.
This data must not leave the boundaries of this virtual border of the recipients firm.</p>

Expressing the confidence or the lack of it in an analysis is a critical step to help a partner or a third-party to check your hypotheses and conclusions.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Analysis or reports are often shared together with technical details, but often lack the associated overall confidence level.
To ascertain this confidence level you can use for example the MISP <a href="#MISPTaxonomies">MISP Taxonomies</a> called <a href="https://www.misp-project.org/taxonomies.html#_admiralty_scale">admiralty-scale</a> and/or <a href="https://www.misp-project.org/taxonomies.html#_estimative_language">estimative-language</a>.
This is a very human way to describe either globally an event or individual indicators of an event, with a set of easy to read human tags. (e.g: admiralty-scale:source-reliability="a/b/c&#8230;&#8203;", estimative-language:likelihood-probability="almost-no-chance", estimative-language:confidence-in-analytic-judgment="moderate")
Generally it is good practice to do this globally for the event as this will enrich the trust/value if set.
Using this in an automated way is also possible but without human intervention, or AI that actually works, not recommended.
Also, on events with hundreds of attributes this is cumbersome and perhaps unfeasible and will just frustrate operators.
The obvious side-effect of this approach is that automation will be the overall benefactor too upping the trust on that level too.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Thus, adding confidence or estimative probability has multiple advantages such as:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Allow receiving organisations to filter, classify and score the information in an automated way based on related tags</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Information with low-confidence can still be shared and reach communities or organisations interested in such information without impacting organisations filtering out by increased confidence level</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Support counter analyses and competitive analyses to validate hypotheses expressed in original reporting</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Depending on source organisation, have an affirmative that some HumInt has one into the sharing process</p>
</li>
</ul>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Complement analysis with contrary evidences is also very welcome to ensure the original analysis and the hypotheses are properly evaluated.</p>

<p>Keeping track of the advancement of an analysis, of what has been done or still needs to be done, is important in order not to forget anything on either side and to ensure work is not performed redundantly by accident.

<p>For instance the MISP Workflow <a href="#Taxonomy">[Taxonomy]</a> allows the user to describe the state of an analysis, as <code>complete</code> or <code>incomplete</code>.

<p>MISP makes extensive use of its RESTful API (Application programming interface) both internally and provides an external API for automation, synchronisation or any other tasks requiring a machine to machine interface. In general terms, it is a set of clearly defined methods of communication between various software components. A good <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface">API</a> makes it easier to develop a computer program by providing all the building blocks, which are then put together by the programmer. An API may be for a web-based system, operating system, database system, computer hardware or software library.
