Stix <-> TypeDB ORM

Explanation of Repo

This Repo is designed to make it easy to build, test and play with the Stix <-> TypeDB ORM. It is based around the OASIS Stix2 Python Library, and is an implementation of their datastore api (https://stix2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/stix2.datastore.html).

The implementation is minimal, it enables TypeDB to be setup as a Stix2 DataSink and DataSource, with implementation of both the DataSink init and add methods, and the DataSource init and get methods.

A number of features from the library are not developed yet, including combining the DataSource and DataSink into a DataStore, running filters on queries, loading from files and other methods.

Installation

Download and install using

pipenv install

then start the virtual environment with

pipenv shell    

Suggested Experiments

Examine and run the granular marking example with

python test.py

Notice how the granular marking input example, has different markings for each of the items in a list? Compare those indexes to the TypeQL statements and the final output. See how the indexes and the list are now reversed?

Examine how the ORM handles different shaped objects in the various directories. Check out:

  • examples directory: Granular markings versus Data Markings
  • standard directory: Email_mime, file_binary, file_ntfs_stream, network_ext_HTTP_request, X509_cert_v3_ext
  • threat_reports director: Check out the final report, and the size of the auto-generated relation

To do this, use

python check_dir.py

and scroll through the logging output. Change the directory name as needed to change the directory focus

Contents

There are 3 directories and some local files.

1. Stix Directory

The Stix directory contains the actual module needed to be integrated with the Stix2 python library.

The module sub-drectory has two files:

  1. Convert Stix to TypeQL Match, Insert: Lines 1-735
  2. Dispatch Dicts: Lines 735 - 1,980
  3. Retrieve Stage 2: Intermediate to Final Shape: Lines 1,980 to 2,580
  4. Retrieve Stage 1: TypeDB to Intermediate Shape: Lines 2,580 to 3,120

The schema sub directory has 3 files:

  • cti-schema-v2.tql - updated Tomas schema
  • cti-rules.tql - updated Tomas rules
  • initialise.py - updated initialise file

2. Data Directory

The data directory contains all of the test examples harvested from the web

3. Docs Directory

There are some markdown docs that contain incomplete documentation describing the transform between TypeDB and Stix names and structures,

4. Local Files

There are four local files:

  • test.py: Enables loading of individual data files, and retrieving of a single Stix_id. It is currently set to examine the Granular Markings and how polymorphic lists mean outputs lose their absolute order, but retain their relative order.
  • check_dir.py: Enables each data file in a a directory to be loaded into TypeDB, and then every object to be sequentially retrieved and printed. The process handles files with either bundles or lists of objects.
  • export_test.json: An export of the intermediate form of the last object to be retrieved from the datastore
  • export_final.json: An export of the final form of the last object to be retrieved from the datastore
