Enricher - DomainTools Iris Investigate

This article describes how to configure a particular enrichment source. To see how to configure enrichers in general, see Configure enrichers.

Enrichers using the legacy DomainTools V1 endpoints have been removed as of the following versions:

  • EclecticIQ DomainTools Extension version 2.8.2 and newer.

  • EclecticIQ DomainTools Extension version 2.7.2 and newer.

Instead, use the DomainTools Iris Investigate enrichers listed in this article.

For more information on the removed enrichers, see Removed V1 enrichers.

Description

The Iris Investigate API is best suited for investigating and orchestrating use cases at human scale. These are typically triggered on-demand by an analyst seeking additional context on a single domain indicator.

Requirements

  • DomainTools User name

  • DomainTools API key

Automatic enrichment

Avoid setting up enrichment rules for the DomainTools enricher.

Setting up enrichment rules for this enricher allows it to automatically run and rapidly consume your API request quota.

Instead, run the enricher manually.

Set up the enricher

Before using the enricher, configure it to add your DomainTools credentials:

  1. Go to Data configuration images/download/attachments/86441161/robot.svg-x24.png > Enrichers.

  2. Select the enricher from the displayed list.

  3. Edit the enricher by selecting from the top right More images/download/attachments/86441161/ellipsis-v.svg-x24.png > Edit.

  4. In the Edit enricher task view, fill out these fields:

    Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Enabled

Select to enable this enricher.

API URL*

By default, this is set to https://api.domaintools.com/v1/iris-investigate.

Username*

Set this to your DomainTools user name.

API key*

Set this to your DomainTools API key.

SSL verification

Selected by default. Select to enable SSL verification.

Path to SSL certificate file

Used when connecting to a feed source that uses a custom CA. Set this as the path to the SSL certificate to use when authenticating the feed source.

For more information, see SSL certificates.

SSL certificates

To use an SSL certificate with the platform, it must be:

  • Accessible on the EclecticIQ Platform host.

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

  • Owned by eclecticiq:eclecticiq.

To make sure that the platform can access the SSL certificate:

  1. Upload the SSL certificate to a location on the platform host.

  2. On the platform 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 the platform needs to access.

“Maximum 5000 returned - you may need to refine your query”

The DomainTools Iris Investigate API imposes a limit of 5000 results per query. This means that if enriching an observable that returns more than 5000 results, the enrichment and enricher fails with the following error message from DomainTools:

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: Maximum 5000 returned - you may need to refine your query.

The platform does not support adding parameters to enrichers per run, so it is currently not possible to “refine” the enricher’s query without making the enricher over-fit for a single enrichment target.

Instead, please look up the enrichment target using the DomainTools Iris UI.

Risk score

DomainTools provides a risk score for enriched observables. This risk score is:

  • Mapped to the Confidence value of the resulting Indicator.

  • Adds a Tag to the resulting Indicator.

The following table details how risk scores are mapped to Indicators on the platform:

Risk Score Value

Indicator Confidence

Indicator Tag

1-33

Low Confidence

Risk Score: Low

34-66

Medium Confidence

Risk Score: Medium

67-100

High Confidence

Risk Score: High

Redacted data

If enrichment returns results that contain the value of ‘REDACTED FOR PRIVACY’ (case-insensitive), those results are not ingested.
