Generate random STIX 2 content.
Project description
cti-stix-generator
This is an OASIS TC Open Repository. See the Governance section for more information.
The STIX generator is a tool for generating random STIX content for prototyping and testing. It uses a simple, sentence-like syntax for expressing what STIX content to generate. This tool is provided in two forms: as a Jupyter notebook and as a commandline tool.
For more information, see the documentation on ReadTheDocs.
Jupyter Notebook
The Jupyter notebook provides an interactive environment to input generator syntax and view the generated content. To use the notebook, install the generator’s dependencies including the jupyter extras, and run Jupyter:
pip install -e .[jupyter]
jupyter nbextension install stix2viz --py
jupyter nbextension enable stix2viz --py
jupyter notebook
Open stix.ipynb in Jupyter to use the tool. Look at examples.ipynb for documentation and examples of the syntax.
Commandline Tool
The commandline version of the tool reads prototyping language from a file, and prints the generated objects to stdout. If a bundle is selected, the bundle is printed instead.
usage: build_stix.py [-h] [-b] [-e ENCODING] [-v] [--stix-version {2.0,2.1}]
[--extra-specs EXTRA_SPECS] [-m]
language-file
Create STIX content from the STIX prototyping language
positional arguments:
language-file The file containing STIX prototyping language
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-b, --bundle Create a bundle
-e ENCODING, --encoding ENCODING
Encoding to use when reading text files, e.g. STIX
prototyping language, custom generator specifications,
etc. Default=utf-8
-v, --verbose Enable verbose diagnostic output. Repeat for increased
verbosity.
--stix-version {2.0,2.1}
STIX version to use. Default=2.1
--extra-specs EXTRA_SPECS
A JSON file with extra object generator
specifications. These will be merged with the built-in
specifications, and made available for use in
prototyping language content.
-m, --minimize-refs Minimize reference properties in generated objects
(*_ref and *_refs).
Caveats
The tool generates random data for all properties, so it may be nonsensical but will have the correct datatype or structure according to the STIX specification.
The object generator currently only generates STIX 2.1 objects. The commandline tool and some APIs will error out if any STIX version other than “2.1” is used.
Governance
This GitHub public repository cti-stix-generator was created at the request of the OASIS Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) TC <https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/cti/>`__as an `OASIS TC Open Repository to support development of open source resources related to Technical Committee work.
