node-taxii

This server implementation is a Node.js application based on the TAXII 2.0 RESTful API specification. TAXII is a protocol for the communication of cyber threat information. This server is read-only, with no user authentication, and is designed to allow access to the public collection of ATT&CK data. Unit tests are provided in the test directory, along with configuration files specific to the test environment. Further information on the TAXII 2.0 specification can be found here.

Collections may be defined per API root in collections.json. This serves as an access control mechanism, allowing users to request STIX data from enumerated collections only. API roots and the discovery endpoint may be defined in config.json, along with various other customizable options such as listening port, backend connection string, and bind address. API root metadata may be autogenerated or explicitly defined in config.json.

Clients may interact with the server like any other RESTful API, with exact HTTP verbiage and required header information described in the above specification.

Installation

Clone the repository to your directory of choice, install dependencies using npm install.

Usage

npm start

Testing

Testing requires the mocha, chai and chai-http npm packages.

npm test - Runs tests inside of docker environment
npm test:local - Runs tests on local host, assuming MongoDB is accessible

Configuration

Configuration is done through a combination of the default configuration file, environmental variables, and command line arguments.

The configuration file should be the last place to change a configuration. Command line arguments take precendence over environmental variables, which take precendence over the configuration file.
