    Collect MISP IOC logs

    Supported in:

    This document explains how to ingest MISP (Malware Information Sharing Platform) IOC logs to Google Security Operations using Bindplane. The parser processes the data in both CSV and JSON formats. It extracts IOC attributes like IP addresses, domains, hashes, and URLs, mapping them to a unified data model (UDM) along with threat details like severity, confidence, and descriptions. The parser handles both single and multiple IOC entries within the input data, normalizing them into a consistent UDM output.

    Before you begin

    Make sure you have the following prerequisites:

    • A Google SecOps instance
    • A Linux host with systemd
    • If running behind a proxy, ensure firewall ports are open per the Bindplane agent requirements
    • Privileged access to your MISP server

    Get Google SecOps ingestion authentication file

    1. Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
    2. Go to SIEM Settings > Collection Agents.
    3. Download the Ingestion Authentication File. Save the file securely on the system where Bindplane will be installed.

    Get Google SecOps customer ID

    1. Sign in to the Google SecOps console.
    2. Go to SIEM Settings > Profile.
    3. Copy and save the Customer IDfrom the Organization detailssection.

    Get MISP API credentials

    1. Sign in to your MISP web interface as an Administrator.
    2. Go to Administration > List Auth Keys.
    3. Click Add authentication key.
    4. Provide the following configuration details:
      • User: Select the user account associated with the key.
      • Optional: Allowed IPs: Specify allowed IP addresses for the key.
      • Expiration: Leave empty for no expiration or set as needed.
    5. Click Submit.
    6. Copy and save the API key in a secure location.
    7. Click I have noted down my key.

    Configure MISP data export

    1. Install PyMISP on your MISP server:

       pip3  
install  
pymisp

    2. Create the export directory:

       sudo  
mkdir  
-p  
/opt/misp/scripts
sudo  
mkdir  
-p  
/opt/misp/ioc_export

    3. Create the credentials file /opt/misp/scripts/keys.py :

        misp_url 
 = 
 'https://<MISP_SERVER_URL>' 
 misp_key 
 = 
 '<MISP_API_KEY>' 
 misp_verifycert 
 = 
 True 
 misp_client_cert 
 = 
 ''
      • Replace <MISP_SERVER_URL> with your MISP server URL.
      • Replace <MISP_API_KEY> with the API key from the prerequisites.

    4. Create the export script /opt/misp/scripts/misp_export.py :

        #!/usr/bin/env python3 
 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- 
 import

    5. Make the script executable:

    Schedule MISP data exports

    1. Create scheduled exports using crontab:

       sudo  
crontab  
-e

    2. Add the following cron entries:

    Install the Bindplane agent

    Install the Bindplane agent on your Linux operating system according to the following instructions.

    Linux installation

    1. Open a terminal with root or sudo privileges.

    2. Run the following command:

       sudo  
sh
