Open your virtualization software (e.g., VirtualBox or VMware). 2. Import the downloaded MISP image file. - **VirtualBox:** Go to `File > Import Appliance` and select the MISP image. - **VMware:** Use the `Open a Virtual Machine` option. 3. Start the virtual machine and log in using the default credentials provided in the documentation. ✅ ### 3️⃣ Configure the Network 🌐 Ensure the VM is connected to your network: - Set up a **static IP address** or ensure DHCP is enabled. - Verify connectivity by accessing the VM’s web interface in your browser using its IP address (e.g., `http://192.168.x.x`). presented within the MISP VM🌍 ### 4️⃣ Access the Web Interface 💻 1. Open a browser and navigate to the IP address of the VM. 2. Log in using the default admin credentials. 3. Begin customizing your MISP instance and importing threat data! 🚨 #### 😲Configuration Troubleshooting 🛠 - upon initialisation of the VM the configuration file must be edited before continuing - to do so open the following php file with a text editor using the command `sudo nano /var/www/MISP/app/Config/config.php` - Change the following options 1. `baseurl` from the pre-set to `https://<insert the VM IP adress>` 2. comment out the line beginning with `external_baseurl` this will ensure no external connections - Save and Exit -> --- ## 📖 Using MISP Effectively ### 1. Adding Events ➕ What is an **Event**? A **MISP event** is a structured package of cybersecurity threat details, including indicators like malicious IPs or file hashes, context about the incident, and tags for categorization. It helps organizations share threat intelligence efficiently. - Browse to the **Event Actions** tab and click on **Add Event** - Add the necessary details, an explanation for all headings is available [Here](https://www.circl.lu/doc/misp/using-the-system/) - Click **Add Event** ### 2. Populating The Event 🛒 A **MISP event** is a structured package of cybersecurity threat details, including indicators like malicious IPs or file hashes, context about the incident, and tags for categorization. It helps organizations share threat intelligence efficiently. - Upon Creating the event **Scroll** down to the **Attributes** Section and click on the **+** Icon this will allow you to add single attribues such as a single IOC - To add multiple attributes we can use the **Freetext Import Tool** to add bulk attributes this is will look like this: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 8000 1000"><path d="M288 64c0 17.7-14.3 32-32 32L32 96C14.3 96 0 81.7 0 64S14.3 32 32 32l224 0c17.7 0 32 14.3 32 32zm0 256c0 17.7-14.3 32-32 32L32 352c-17.7 0-32-14.3-32-32s14.3-32 32-32l224 0c17.7 0 32 14.3 32 32zM0 192c0-17.7 14.3-32 32-32l384 0c17.7 0 32 14.3 32 32s-14.3 32-32 32L32 224c-17.7 0-32-14.3-32-32zM448 448c0 17.7-14.3 32-32 32L32 480c-17.7 0-32-14.3-32-32s14.3-32 32-32l384 0c17.7 0 32 14.3 32 32z"/></svg> Paste in your Plain text IOC's and this will populate the event ### 3. Enriching your Data 🤲 **Enriching MISP event attributes** adds context, validates data, integrates threat intelligence, and provides risk insights, making the information more reliable and actionable. - To enrich your event, within the column on the left of the page click **Enrich event** - Select the enrichments you would like to run against your attributes - Click **Enrich** --- ## 📨Ingesting Threat Intelligence Feeds **Threat intelligence feeds** in MISP provide up-to-date IOCs, context, and automated updates to enhance threat detection, awareness, and response. - Within the **Sync Actions** tab click on **List Feeds** - Click on **Load default feed metadata** - Select the required Threat Feed - Click on **Enable Selected** This will load the selected feed into your current event list --- ## MISP Taxonomy / Tagging **MISP taxonomy** uses standardized tags to classify and organize data, improving consistency, searchability, and collaboration in threat intelligence. A Full list of Taxonomies is available here -> [MISP-Project Taxonomies](https://www.misp-project.org/taxonomies.html)
