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.

Data mapping#

The sections below contain non-exhaustive information about how Recorded Future Vulnerability Feed data is mapped to EclecticIQ Platform entities and observables.

The Recorded Future Vulnerability Feed downloads risk lists from Recorded Future in csv/splunk format. Each record in these lists have matched one or more risk rules on the Recorded Future platform.

Records are ingested by EclecticIQ Platform as Exploit target Indicators.
