Bots

Collectors

• bots.collectors.rt.collector_rt: Log ticket id for downloaded reports.

Parsers

• bots.parsers.shadowserver:
  • if required fields do not exist in data, an exception is raised, so the line will be dumped and not further processed.
  • fix a bug in the parsing of column cipher_suite in ssl poodle reports (#1288).

Experts

• Reverse DNS Expert: ignore all invalid results and use first valid one (#1264).
• intelmq/bots/experts/tor_nodes/update-tor-nodes: Use check.torproject.org as source as internet2.us is down (#1289).

Outputs

• bots.output.amqptopic:
  • The default exchange must not be declared (#1295).
  • Unencodable characters are prepended by backslashes by default. Otherwise Unicode characters can't be encoded and sent (#1296).
  • Gracefully close AMQP connection on shutdown of bot.

Documentation

• Bots: document redis cache parameters.
• Installation documentation: Ubuntu needs universe repositories.

Packaging

• Dropped support for Ubuntu 17.10, it reached its End of Life as of 2018-07-19.

Tests

• Drop tests for Python 3.3 for the mode with all requirements, as some optional dependencies do not support Python 3.3 anymore.
• lib.test: Add parameter compare_raw (default: True) to assertMessageEqual, to optionally skip the comparison of the raw field.
• Add tests for RT collector.
• Add tests for Shadowserver Parser:
  • SSL Poodle Reports.
  • Helper functions.

Tools

• intelmqctl list now sorts the output of bots and queues (#1262).
• intelmqctl: Correctly handle the corner cases with collectors and outputs for getting/sending messages in the bot debugger (#1263).
• intelmqdump: fix ordering of dumps in a file in runtime. All operations are applied to a sorted list (#1280).

Contrib

• cron-jobs/update-tor-nodes: Use check.torproject.org as source as internet2.us is down (#1289).

1.1.0 Release Candidate 2

• 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.

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.
• 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).

• Removed print statements from various bots.
• Replaced various occurences of self.logger.error() + self.stop() with raise ValueError.

Collectors

  • New parameters; sent_from: filter messages by sender, sent_to: filter messages by recipient
  • More debug logs
• bots.collectors.n6.collector_stomp: renamed to bots.collectors.stomp.collector (#716)
• bots.collectors.rt:
  • New parameter search_requestor to search for field Requestor.
  • Empty strings and null as value for search parameters are ignored.
  • Empty parameters attachment_regex and url_regex handled.
• bots.collectors.http.collector_http: Ability to optionally use the current time in parameter http_url, added parameter http_url_formatting.
• bots.collectors.stomp.collector: Heartbeat timeout is now logged with log level info instead of warning.
• added intelmq.bots.collectors.twitter.collector_twitter

  • 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).

  • 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.
