There are some features considered as beta and marked as such in the documentation, do not use them in production yet.

  • upgraded all files to python3-only syntax, e.g. use super() instead of super(..., ...) in all files. Migration from old to new string formatting has not been applied if the resulting code would be longer.

Removals of deprecated code:

  • Removed compatibility shim intelmq.bots.collectors.n6.collector_stomp, use intelmq.bots.collectors.stomp.collector instead (see #1124).
  • Removed compatibility shim intelmq.bots.parsers.cymru_full_bogons.parser, use intelmq.bots.parsers.cymru.parser_full_bogons instead.

  • Removed deprecated and unused function intelmq.lib.utils.extract_tar.

Core

  • lib/pipeline:
    • Allow setting the broker of source and destination independently.

Tools

  • intelmqctl:
    • status: Show commandline differences if a program with the expected PID could be found, but they do not match (previous output was None).
    • Use logging level from defauls configuration if possible, otherwise intelmq's internal default. Previously, DEBUG was used unconditionally.

Feature release 1.1.0

Installation instructions:
https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/blob/1.1.0/docs/INSTALL.md
Upgrade instructions:
https://github.com/certtools/intelmq/blob/1.1.0/docs/UPGRADING.md

  • Support for Python 3.3 has been dropped in IntelMQ and some dependencies of it. Python 3.3 reached its end of life and Python 3.4 or newer is a hard requirement now.
  • The list of feeds docs/Feeds.md has now a machine-readable equivalent YAML file in intelmq/etc/feeds.yaml
    A tool to convert from yaml to md has been added.

Tools

  • intelmq_gen_feeds_docs addded to bin directory, allows generating the Feeds.md documentation file from feeds.yaml
  • intelmq_gen_docs merges both intelmq_gen_feeds_docs and intelmq_gen_harm_docs in one file and automatically updates the documentation files.

intelmqctl

  • intelmqctl start prints the bot's last error messages if the bot failed to start (#1021).
  • intelmqctl start message "is running" is printed every time. (Until now, it wasn't said when a bot was just starting.)
  • intelmqctl start/stop/restart/reload/status now has a "--group" flag which allows you to specify the group of the bots that should be influenced by the command.
  • intelmqctl check checks for defaults.conf completeness if the shipped file from the package can be found.
  • intelmqctl check shows errors for non-importable bots.
  • intelmqctl list bots -q only prints the IDs of enabled bots.
  • intelmqctl list queues-and-status prints both queues and bots statuses (so that it can be used in eg. intelmq-manager).
  • intelmqctl run parameter for showing a sent message.
  • intelmqctl run if message is sent to a non-default path, it is printed out.
  • intelmqctl restart bug fix; returned some half-nonsense, now returns return state of start and stop operation in a list (#1226).
  • intelmqctl check: New parameter --no-connections to prevent the command from making connections e.g. to the redis pipeline.s
  • intelmqctl list queues: don't display named paths amongst standard queues.
  • The process status test failed if the PATH did not include the bot executables and the which command failed. Then the proccess's command line could not be compared correctly. The fix warns of this and adds a new status 'unknown' (#1297).

Contrib

  • tool feeds-config-generator to automatically generate the collector and parser runtime and pipeline configurations.
  • malware_name_mapping: Download and convert tool for malware family name mapping has been added.
  • Added a systemd script which creates systemd units for bots (#953).
  • contrib/cron-jobs/update-asn-data, contrib/cron-jobs/update-geoip-data, contrib/cron-jobs/update-tor-nodes: Errors produce proper output.

Core

  • lib/bot
    • use SIGTERM instead of SIGINT to stop bots (#981).
    • Bots can specify a static method check(parameters) which can perform individual checks specific to the bot.
      These functions will be called by intelmqctl check if the bot is configured with the given parameters
    • top level bot parameters (description, group, module, name) are exposed as members of the class.
    • The parameter feed for collectors is deprecated for 2.0 and has been replaced by the more consistent name (#1144).
    • bug: allow path parameter for CollectorBot class.
    • Handle errors better when the logger could not be initialized.
    • ParserBot:
      • For the csv parsing methods, ParserBot.csv_params is now used for all these methods.
      • ParserBot.parse_csv_dict now saves the field names in ParserBot.csv_fieldnames.
      • ParserBot.parse_csv_dict now saves the raw current line in ParserBot.current_line.
      • ParserBot.recover_line_csv_dict now uses the raw current line.
  • lib/message:
    • Subitems in fields of type JSONDict (see below) can be accessed directly. E.g. you can do:
      event['extra.foo'] = 'bar'
      event['extra.foo'] # gives 'bar'
      It is still possible to set and get the field as whole, however this may be removed or changed in the future:
      event['extra'] = '{"foo": "bar"}'
      event['extra'] # gives '{"foo": "bar"}'
      "Old" bots and configurations compatible with 1.0.x do still work.
      Also, the extra field is now properly exploded when exporting events, analogous to all other fields.
      The in operator works now for both - the old and the new - behavior.
    • Message.add: The parameter overwrite accepts now three different values: True, False and None (new).
      True: An existing value will be overwritten
      False: An existing value will not be overwritten (previously an exception has been raised when the value was given).
      None (default): If the value exists an KeyExists exception is thrown (previously the same as False).
      This allows shorter code in the bots, as an 'overwrite' configuration parameter can be directly passed to the function.
    • The message class has now the possibility to return a default value for non-exisiting fields, see Message.set_default_value.
    • Message.get behaves the same like Message.__getitem__ (#1305).
  • Add RewindableFileHandle to utils making handling of CSV files more easy (optionally)
  • lib/pipeline:
    • you may now define more than one destination queues path the bot should pass the message to, see Pipelines (#1088, #1190).
    • the special path "_on_error" can be used to pass messages to different queues in case of processing errors (#1133).
  • lib/harmonization: Accept AS prefix for ASN values (automatically stripped).

Parsers

  • bots.parsers.shadowserver:
    • changed feednames . Please refer to it's README for the exact changes.
    • If the conversion function fails for a line, an error is raised and the offending line will be handled according to the error handling configuration.
      Previously errors like these were only logged and ignored otherwise.
    • add support for the feeds
      • Accessible-Hadoop (#1231)
      • Accessible ADB (#1285)
    • Remove deprecated parameter override, use overwrite instead (#1071).
    • The raw values now are exactly the input with quotes unchanged, the ParserBot methods are now used directly (#1011).
  • The Generic CSV Parser bots.parsers.generic.parser_csv:
    • It is possible to filter the data before processing them using the new parameters filter_type and filter_text.
    • It is possible to specify multiple columns using | character in parameter columns.
    • The parameter time_format now supports 'epoch_millis' for seconds since the Epoch, milliseconds are supported but not used.
  • renamed bots.parsers.cymru_full_bogons.parser to bots.parsers.cymru.parser_full_bogons, compatibility shim will be removed in version 2.0
  • added bots.parsers.cymru.parser_cap_program
  • added intelmq.bots.parsers.zoneh.parser for ZoneH feeds
  • added intelmq.bots.parsers.sucuri.parser

    • ignore the invalid IP '0.0.0.0' for the destination
    • fix the raw/dumped messages, did not contain the paling list previously.
    • use the new harmonization field tlp instead of extra.tlp.
  • bots.parsers.alienvault.parser_otx: Save TLP data in the new harmonization field tlp.
  • added intelmq.bots.parsers.openphish.parser_commercial
  • added intelmq.bots.parsers.microsoft.parser_bingmurls
  • added intelmq.bots.parsers.calidog.parser_certstream for parsing certstream data (#1120).
  • added intelmq.bots.parsers.shodan.parser for parsing shodan data (#1096).

  • intelmq.bots.parsers.spamhaus.parser_cert: Added support for all known bot types.

Experts

  • Added sieve expert for filtering and modifying events (#1083)
  • capable of distributing the event to appropriate named queues
  • bots.experts.modify
    • default rulesets: all malware name mappings have been migrated to the Malware Name Mapping repository ruleset. See the new added contrib tool for download and conversion.
