Enriching ElasticSearch With Threat Data – Intro

Since my last blog post back in January, I have been seriously distracted! I promised blog posts relating to my lab but have not had the time…. But to keep you guys going until then… I am going to open source my enrichment at scale setup, combining ElasticSearch, MISP, logstash and memcache into one seriously powerful platform.

Clik here to view.

Have you ever wanted to check your entire logging estate against a threat feed? Multiple threat feeds? If so, you have probably seen that many of the big SIEM providers charge a premium for this service.

What I will demonstrate over the next few posts, is how to accomplish this for free! Well not quite for free, since you need time but you know…..

Lets talk about the diagram above… For my threat data source, I have chosen MISP. My logging sources are Squid Proxy and PiHole. These are the choices you have yourself. The rest of the setup is required to run…

Instead of choosing MISP, you could simply use a single threat data feed, Ransomware tracker could be a good place to start as they offer an open source feed via CSV, which you could quickly parse. The important thing is that you have the right data structure to put the feed into memcache. But we will go over this in further blog posts….

Across the next blog posts, I will talk about the various pieces in the puzzle and how to put them all together… The result is a very scabable, powerful enrichment engine that can ingest and enrich logs in realtime without delaying the log process.
