MISP Internet Drafts Published

We recently released two Internet-Drafts describing the MISP format:

• misp-core-format - the core JSON format of MISP which describes the Event format including meta-information, attributes, shadow attributes. In addition, the Manifest format which bundles MISP events is described.
• misp-taxonomy-format - The MISP taxonomy JSON format describes how to define the complete namespace of machine tags in a parseable format.

The misp-rfc project was started to better document and describe MISP formats. The specifications are based from the real implementation cases (code is law). As we received many requests of vendors or software developers willing to integrate MISP. The specifications were designed to support organizations willing to use and integrate MISP formats in their product or software.

When collecting information from different places, analysts need sometime to perform OCR on documents (like report, faxes, images) to import and correlate the information in their MISP instance. As MISP 2.4.50 introduced a new modular framework for export and import modules, we decided to build a simple OCR service accessible to MISP user on a local instance.
