Enhanced Security Measures in Place: To ensure a safer experience, we’ve implemented additional, temporary security measures for all users.

Maybe a stupid question and\or I've missed the obvious...
One of the issues we have with our Palo firewalls is - when we deploy 'active' IPS rules (block-ip etc) the maximum length of time is 3600 seconds.
We have a log solution that we use to trigger alerts if we're being probed over multiple days etc and would like to trigger a script, rather than the current manual email, to poke the offending IP address into a block list. As we've already started using MineMeld to serve up blocklists as I wondering if its possible to call a RESTful API - or similar - to push the IP address to an output list?
Longer term we'd be looking for a bit more intelligence i.e. checking whether it's already on the list, removing after a period of time (say 7 days), but initially it would just be a simple "if source IP triggers threat 3 times in 3 hours trigger (PowerShell) script to poke address into custom blocklist" type scenario

Hi @apackard,
MineMeld has a REST API you can use to add indicators to lists. You could use that to push block-ips.
Is there a public documentation of your log solution I could use to check their integration capabilities ?
Thanks,
luigi

Hey @lmori,
Do you have documentation anywhere for using the Minemeld API? I have been hunting live and the github wiki to no avail. (Nice docs btw!) Sorry if you've already posted this somewhere.
I'm trying to help my customer automate some integration between ServiceNow and PAN for their approval process for whitelisting domains and IPs, and it would be great to use Minemeld EDLs/DAGs to eliminate the need to commit.
I currently have a python script that goes and manually updates the indicator YML files via paramiko, but I'd prefer to use the API.
Thanks again for the great tool and looking forward to continued improvement.

This is the basic way to add an indicator to a list.
Scenario: you have a Miner of type stdlib.listIPv4 with name my_ipv4_list
To add 1.1.1.2 to the list of indicators:
curl -XPOST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -u <username>:<password> https://<minemeld>/config/data/my_ipv4_list_indicators/append?h=my_ipv4_list -d '{
"indicator": "1.1.1.2",
"type": "IPv4",
"share_level": "red",
"comment": "Test"
}'
(do not forget the Content-Type header)

Thanks @lmori, this is gold! How about to remove an indicator?
Would I just replace the "append" keyword with another method? I've tried "delete", "del", "remove", "rem", "erase", "strip", and other similar verbs to no avail. It'd be awesome if we could put together a real simple document outlining use of the API.
BTW here's a working sample of Python code we're building into our API integration for adding indicators. It'll be very handy if we can get a list of supported actions with their syntax so that we can modify and remove indicators as well.
import pycurl, json
def add_indicator_api(**kwargs):
url = "https://{hostname}:{port}/config/data/{miner}_indicators/append?h={miner}".format(**kwargs)
payload = json.dumps({"indicator": "{indicator}".format(**kwargs), "share_level": "green", "comment": "{comment}".format(**kwargs)})
curl = pycurl.Curl()
curl.setopt(pycurl.SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0)
curl.setopt(pycurl.SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0)
curl.setopt(pycurl.URL, url)
curl.setopt(pycurl.POST, 1)
curl.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: application/json'])
curl.setopt(pycurl.HTTPAUTH, pycurl.HTTPAUTH_BASIC)
curl.setopt(pycurl.USERPWD, "{username}:{password}".format(**kwargs))
curl.setopt(pycurl.POSTFIELDS, payload)
curl.perform()
curl.close()

Hi @nbilal,
currently you can only append, get the full list or post a full list. I am planning to add a remove action in the next release.
See the last lines of this Python file here for the API:
https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/minemeld-core/blob/master/minemeld/flask/configapi.py#L568
For python I would suggest to requests to build an API client.

Great info @lmori!
I rewrote my method to use requests:
import requests, json
# PYTHON REQUESTS API CLIENT
def add_indicator_requests(**kwargs):
url = "https://{hostname}:{port}/config/data/{miner}_indicators/append?h={miner}".format(**kwargs)
payload = json.dumps({
"indicator": "{indicator}".format(**kwargs),
"share_level": "green",
"comment": "{comment}".format(**kwargs)
})
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
requests.post(
url, data=payload,
headers=headers,
auth=("{username}".format(**kwargs), "{password}".format(**kwargs)),
verify=False
)
I also wrote a simple "delete" method (GET whole indicator file, remove specified JSON, overwrite original YAML with modified JSON data):
# GET > MODIFY DATA (save as jlist) > PUT
def delete_indicator_requests(**kwargs):
url = "https://{hostname}:{port}/config/data/{miner}_indicators".format(**kwargs)
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
req = requests.get(
url,
auth=("{username}".format(**kwargs), "{password}".format(**kwargs)),
verify=False
)
jlist = []
for j in req.json()['result']:
if j['indicator'] != "{indicator}".format(**kwargs):
jlist.append(j)
requests.put(
url, json=jlist,
headers=headers,
auth=("{username}".format(**kwargs), "{password}".format(**kwargs)),
verify=False
)
Thanks again! We've finally got this thing doing our bidding.

Hi @nbilal,
that's what the UI does when you delete an indicator. Not super efficient but it works. We have plans to improve these Miners or add new one able to handle large numbers of Indicators.

For those that are working in MS Windows shops here is something i worked up in powershell today. Please forgive me because I am not a coder so some logic could probably be improved and I am not complete with all error checking.
My original use case was to pull a list of all our Domain Controller IP's and add them to a EDL, for some obvious reasons to those on this this. Powershell made the most sense and I began going down that rabbit hole.
First was a powershell script to retrieve the DC:
Get-ADDomainController -Filter * | foreach {
if ($ip.Length -gt 7)
{
#Some block of code to add the IP address
addIndicator($ip)
}
}
That was simple enough ... The next part was a little more complicated but non the less here is the function that actually adds the IP addresses:
$mineMeldHost = "https://{minemeldServer-FQDN-or-IP}"
#indicatorOutput is the output/feed list name that the indicators should exist in
$indicatorOutput = "Domain_Controller_List"
$url = $mineMeldHost + "/feeds/" + $indicatorOutput
$currentList = Invoke-WebRequest $url
Function addIndicator ($indicator)
{
#Verify the IP address is not already included in the list
if ( -not $currentList.Content.Contains($indicator) )
{
$IndicatorList = "Domain_Controllers"
#Credentials can be passed using basic authentication
# * Simply base46 encode {username}:{password} and add that string to the headers
# * Be sure to include the ':' between the strings
# * $userPass = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes("$($user):$($passwd)"))
$userPass = "{Base64String}"
# Adding the Authentication string to the post request headers
$headers = @{
Authorization = 'Basic ' + $userPass
}
# to add date and time to the comments field for each indicator
$dateTime = get-date -format F
$comment = 'Indicator added with Powershell on ' + $dateTime
$indicatorArr = @{
indicator = $indicator
type = 'IPv4'
share_level = 'red'
comment = $comment
}
$json = $indicatorArr | ConvertTo-Json
$url = $mineMeldHost + "/config/data/" + $IndicatorList + "_indicators/append?h=" + $IndicatorList
$response = Invoke-RestMethod $url -Method Post -Body $json -ContentType 'application/json' -Headers $headers
$response
Write-Output "The Following Indicator was added: $indicator"
}
}
I have since seen some potential to include this is some Incident Response Scenarios so started working on cleaning the code up and giving it some switches and options.
There are a few defaults that need to be changed, and the base64encoded username:password needs to be included .

Sean, nice script! I took your script a step further and incorporated a GUI along with other logic to allow for easy uploading of IOC's. I made sure to cite your contribution:
