MISP modules are autonomous modules that can be used for expansion and other services in MISP.
The modules are written in Python 3 following a simple API interface. The objective is to ease the extensions of MISP functionalities without modifying core components. The API is available via a simple REST API which is independent from MISP installation or configuration.
MISP modules support is included in MISP starting from version 2.4.28.

misp-modules #to start the modulesCreate your module in misp_modules/modules/expansion/, misp_modules/modules/export_mod/, or misp_modules/modules/import_mod/. The module should have at minimum three functions:
- introspection function that returns a dict of the supported attributes (input and output) by your expansion module.
- handler function which accepts a JSON document to expand the values and return a dictionary of the expanded values.
- version function that returns a dict with the version and the associated meta-data including potential configurations required of the module.
Don't forget to return an error key and value if an error is raised to propagate it to the MISP user-interface.
...
# Checking for required value
if not request.get('ip-src'):
# Return an error message
return {'error': "A source IP is required"}
...The function that returns a dict of the supported attributes (input and output) by your expansion module.
mispattributes = {'input': ['link', 'url'],
'output': ['attachment', 'malware-sample']}
def introspection():
return mispattributesThe function that returns a dict with the version and the associated meta-data including potential configurations required of the module.
If your module requires additional configuration (to be exposed via the MISP user-interface), you can define those in the moduleconfig value returned by the version function.
# config fields that your code expects from the site admin
moduleconfig = ["apikey", "event_limit"]
def version():
moduleinfo['config'] = moduleconfig
return moduleinfoWhen you do this a config array is added to the meta-data output containing all the potential configuration values:
"meta": {
"description": "PassiveTotal expansion service to expand values with multiple Passive DNS sources",
"config": [
"username",
"password"
],
"module-type": [
"expansion",
"hover"
],
...
If you want to use the configuration values set in the web interface they are stored in the key config in the JSON object passed to the handler.
def handler(q=False):
# Check if we were given a configuration
config = q.get("config", {})
# Find out if there is a username field
username = config.get("username", None)
The function which accepts a JSON document to expand the values and return a dictionary of the expanded values.
def handler(q=False):
"Fully functional rot-13 encoder"
if q is False:
return False
request = json.loads(q)
src = request.get('ip-src')
if src is None:
# Return an error message
return {'error': "A source IP is required"}
else:
return {'results':
codecs.encode(src, "rot-13")}If you want to return a file or other data you need to add a data attribute.
{"results": {"values": "filename.txt",
"types": "attachment",
"data" : base64.b64encode(<ByteIO>) # base64 encode your data first
"comment": "This is an attachment"}}If the binary file is malware you can use 'malware-sample' as the type. If you do this the malware sample will be automatically zipped and password protected ('infected') after being uploaded.
{"results": {"values": "filename.txt",
"types": "malware-sample",
"data" : base64.b64encode(<ByteIO>) # base64 encode your data first
"comment": "This is an attachment"}}To learn more about how data attributes are processed you can read the processing code here.
A MISP module can be of four types:
- expansion - service related to an attribute that can be used to extend and update an existing event.
- hover - service related to an attribute to provide additional information to the users without updating the event.
- import - service related to importing and parsing an external object that can be used to extend an existing event.
- export - service related to exporting an object, event, or data.
module-type is an array where the list of supported types can be added.
MISP uses the modules function to discover the available MISP modules and their supported MISP attributes:
% curl -s http://127.0.0.1:6666/modules | jq .

The MISP module service returns the available modules in a JSON array containing each module name along with their supported input attributes.
Based on this information, a query can be built in a JSON format and saved as body.json:
{
"hostname": "www.foo.be",
"module": "dns"
}Then you can POST this JSON format query towards the MISP object server:
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:6666/query -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @body.json -X POSTThe module should output the following JSON:
{
"results": [
{
"types": [
"ip-src",
"ip-dst"
],
"values": [
"188.65.217.78"
]
}
]
}It is also possible to restrict the category options of the resolved attributes by passing a list of categories along (optional):
{
"results": [
{
"types": [
"ip-src",
"ip-dst"
],
"values": [
"188.65.217.78"
],
"categories": [
"Network activity",
"Payload delivery"
]
}
]
}For both the type and the category lists, the first item in the list will be the default setting on the interface.
For a module to be activated in the MISP web interface it must be enabled in the "Plugin Settings.
Go to "Administration > Server Settings" in the top menu
- Go to "Plugin Settings" in the top "tab menu bar"
- Click on the name of the type of module you have created to expand the list of plugins to show your module.
- Find the name of your plugin's "enabled" value in the Setting Column. "Plugin.[MODULE NAME]_enabled"
- Double click on its "Value" column
Priority Setting Value Description Error Message
Recommended Plugin.Import_ocr_enabled false Enable or disable the ocr module. Value not set.
- Use the drop-down to set the enabled value to 'true'
Priority Setting Value Description Error Message
Recommended Plugin.Import_ocr_enabled true Enable or disable the ocr module. Value not set.
In this same menu set any other plugin settings that are required for testing.
First, you need to grab all necessery packages for example like this :
Use pip wheel to create an archive
mkdir misp-modules-offline
pip3 wheel -r REQUIREMENTS shodan --wheel-dir=./misp-modules-offline
tar -cjvf misp-module-bundeled.tar.bz2 ./misp-modules-offline/*
On offline machine :
mkdir misp-modules-bundle
tar xvf misp-module-bundeled.tar.bz2 -C misp-modules-bundle
cd misp-modules-bundle
ls -1|while read line; do sudo pip3 install --force-reinstall --ignore-installed --upgrade --no-index --no-deps ${line};done
Next you can follow standard install procedure.
Fork the project, add your module, test it and make a pull-request. Modules can be also private as you can add a module in your own MISP installation.
Download a pre-built virtual image from the MISP training materials.
- Create a Host-Only adapter in VirtualBox
- Set your Misp OVA to that Host-Only adapter
- Start the virtual machine
- Get the IP address of the virutal machine
- SSH into the machine (Login info on training page)
- Go into the misp-modules directory
cd /usr/local/src/misp-modulesSet the git repo to your fork and checkout your development branch. If you SSH'ed in as the misp user you will have to use sudo.
sudo git remote set-url origin https://github.com/YourRepo/misp-modules.git
sudo git pull
sudo git checkout MyModBranchRemove the contents of the build directory and re-install misp-modules.
sudo rm -fr build/*
sudo pip3 install --upgrade .SSH in with a different terminal and run misp-modules with debugging enabled.
sudo killall misp-modules
misp-modules -dIn your original terminal you can now run your tests manually and see any errors that arrive
cd tests/
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:6666/query -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @MY_TEST_FILE.json -X POST
