Incoming feed - FireEye iSIGHT Intelligence Report API#

Note

This article describes how to configure incoming feeds for a particular feed source. To see how to configure incoming feeds in general, see Create and configure incoming feeds.

Specifications

Transport type

FireEye iSIGHT Intelligence Report API

Content type

FireEye Report JSON|

Ingested data

FireEye iSIGHT intelligence reports.

Processed data

STIX reports on vulnerabilities, malware, and threats such as threat actors, strategies, tactics, and techniques.

Requirements#

  • FireEye public API key.

  • FireEye private API key.

Skip extraction of observables from unstructured text#

By default, this extension extracts observables from unstructured text in entities ingested from the incoming feed, such as from:

  • Entity titles

  • Entity descriptions

This may result in a number of false positives when ingesting the feed.

To reduce the number of false positives from ingesting unstructured text, you can either:

  1. Select the Skip extraction of observables from unstructured text option when configuring the feed.

  2. Or, Create observable rules to ignore false positives that are particular to this incoming feed.

For example, observables extracted from unstructured data when ingesting entities from FireEye iSIGHT Intelligence Report API may result in a large number of domain: fireeye.satmetrix.com observables. Create an observable rule to ignore those observables.

Configure the incoming feed#

  1. Create or edit an incoming feed.

  2. Under Transport and content, fill out these fields:

    Ingest data from the feed source starting from this date and time. Use the drop-down calendar to select the date and time you want to start ingesting feed data from.

  3. Store your changes by selecting Save.

SSL certificates#

To use an SSL certificate, it must be:

  • Accessible on the EclecticIQ Intelligence Center host.

  • Placed in a location that can be accessed by the eclecticiq user.

  • Owned by eclecticiq:eclecticiq.

To make sure that EclecticIQ Intelligence Center can access the SSL certificate:

  1. Upload the SSL certificate to a location on the EclecticIQ Intelligence Center host.

  2. On the EclecticIQ Intelligence Center host, open the terminal.

  3. Change ownership of the SSL certificate by running as root in the terminal:

    chown eclecticiq:eclecticiq /path/to/cert.pem

    Where /path/to/cert.pem is the location of the SSL certificate EclecticIQ Intelligence Center needs to access.
