Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP) on Doker

MISP (“Malware Information Sharing Platform“) is a free software which was initially created by the Belgian Defence to exchange IOC’s with partners like the NCIRC (NATO). Today it became an independent project and is mainly developed by a group of motivated people. MISP is mainly used by CERT’s (“Computer Emergency Response Team”) but also private companies to exchange thousands on IOC’s on a daily basis.

To build the Docker image:
# git clone https://github.com/xme/misp-docker
# cd misp-docker
# docker build -t misp/misp --build-arg MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<mysql_root_pw> .
# cat <<__END__ >env.txt
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=my_strong_root_pw
MYSQL_MISP_PASSWORD=my_strong_misp_pw
__END__
# docker run -d -p 443:443 --env-file=env.txt --restart=always --name misp misp/misp
Once the container booted, there are still some manual operations to perform. Feel free to fine-tune it to your needs if you already know the tool.
Change the ‘baseurl‘ parameter in /var/www/MISP/app/Config/config.php
Reconfigure Postfix to match your SMTP environment
