Analyzing Threat Landscape With Misp

---
name: analyzing-threat-landscape-with-misp
description: Query a MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) instance via PyMISP
  to compute event statistics, IOC type breakdowns, threat actor galaxy clusters,
  and tag trends, and generate threat landscape reports with temporal trends. Use
  when asked to analyze threat intelligence data, summarize top threat actors or
  malware families, or produce a CTI landscape report from MISP events.

# Analyzing Threat Landscape with MISP


## When to Use

- When investigating security incidents that require analyzing threat landscape with misp
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques

## Prerequisites

- Familiarity with threat intelligence concepts and tools
- Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
- Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
- Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

## Instructions

1. Install dependencies: `pip install pymisp`
2. Configure MISP URL and API key.
3. Run the agent to generate threat landscape analysis:
   - Pull event statistics by threat level and date range
   - Analyze attribute type distributions (IP, domain, hash, URL)
   - Identify top MITRE ATT&CK techniques from event tags
   - Track threat actor activity via galaxy clusters
   - Generate temporal trend analysis of IOC submissions

```bash
python scripts/agent.py --misp-url https://misp.local --api-key YOUR_KEY --days 90 --output landscape_report.json
```

## Examples
