TheHive v4 RC1

TheHive version 4 RC1, it’s here, its been here for a solid few weeks and I’m only just getting around to checking it out now. The new update looks to include a few nice features and a welcome back end technology refresh which should keep the platform in support for a good while yet. At this stage, I would not suggest attempting to either upgrade your existing version 3 installations to version 4, or run a clean install as your main case management production system if you’re just starting out, but get to know this version by spinning up a new virtual machine because when the time comes around, you will give yourself a good leg up.

Cortex 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 Upgrade

Cortex 3.0.1: The better logging edition has been released now. I am quite surprised that the developers were able to release a point upgrade out while they are working on the new major release of TheHive but I welcome it as it brings a number of fixes and enhancements which you can read about on TheHive project Blog. Some of the bug fixes will make my life easier as some logging issues have been corrected which will make testing and developing responders for Cortex less painful.

TheHive + Cortex automated build with Vagrant

I’ve blogged quite a bit about TheHive and Cortex to date, so much so that the wonderful people over at TheHive-project have added this blog onto the Blogs & Articles section of TheHive’s curated Awesome List. Its seems The more I write, the more I realise how much more there is to write about this stacks ability and feature set. Throughout the course of the last year, I wrote a 12 part series about standing up TheHive, MISP and Cortex detailing my experiences in how to install, integrate and upgrade each of them.

TheHive Webhooks with NodeRED

In my last post I wrote about Installing and Securing NodeRED. The reason behind this was twofold. First, NodeRED is pretty cool and I want to be able to do some more ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) operations for personal projects I want to start on and secondly, I’ve been looking into TheHive webhooks functionality and needed some way to drive it in a way that didn’t require hundreds of lines of bespoke python code.

Making Thehive Soar With Microsoft Power Automate and Cortex

Security Orchestration and Automated Response (SOAR), its the natural evolution of where security teams are heading, and as our numbers in this space seems to never be enough, we look to SOAR tools to automate to free up our time to so we can spend it doing more productive things, like drinking coffee and threat hunting. Automation brings standard and repeatable processes which could just buy us that breathing space.

Releasing My First Responder for TheHive

Now that I’ve gone through a series on TheHive, I’ve started to expand on the capabilities of this DFIR platform by starting to write my own Responders. Responders are essentially a way to perform an enhancement action on a given case, alert or observable. The built in Responders from the Cortex GitHub repo include a responder that will email the case or alert details to you as well as responders that interface with CrowdStrike, QRadar, Umbrella and ZeroFox.

Integrate Misp to Thehive

This is part 8 of the Cortex build. In this part I’m integrating TheHive with MISP and it doesnt go as smooth as I would have liked, but I got some good troubleshooting done in the process which I’ve documented. This will allow us to post observables to MISP from TheHive and vice versa! Links to the previous articles are here: Part I - Building TheHive Part II - Setup reverse proxy for TheHive
