MISP

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!}

for OpenBSD 7.0-amd64

!!! warning This is not fully working yet. Mostly it is a template for our ongoing documentation efforts :spider: LIEF, will probably not be available for a long long time on OpenBSD, until someone is brave enough to make it work. GnuPG also needs some more TLC. misp-modules are broken because of the python-opencv dependency.

0/ WIP! You are warned, this does only partially work!

!!! notice This guide attempts to offer native httpd or apache2/nginx.

!!! notice As of OpenBSD 6.4 the native httpd has rewrite rules and php 5.6 is gone too.

MISP configuration variables

If you are doing a manual install, copy and pasting from this document, please do the following before starting:

eval "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MISP/MISP/2.4/docs/generic/globalVariables.md | awk '/^# <snippet-begin/,0' | grep -v \`\`\`)"
MISPvars

!!! notice Do NOT leave your session after this mid-install as some initial passwords have been generated and thus would be lost. Consider using a mux like screen or tmux.

${SUDO_WWW} env HOME=/var/www php composer.phar install --no-dev

# To use the scheduler worker for scheduled tasks, do the following:
${SUDO_WWW} cp -f /var/www/htdocs/MISP/INSTALL/setup/config.php /var/www/htdocs/MISP/app/Plugin/CakeResque/Config/config.php

4/ Set the permissions

# Check if the permissions are set correctly using the following commands:
doas chown -R www:www /var/www/htdocs/MISP
doas chmod -R 750 /var/www/htdocs/MISP
doas chmod -R g+ws /var/www/htdocs/MISP/app/tmp
doas chmod -R g+ws /var/www/htdocs/MISP/app/files
doas chmod -R g+ws /var/www/htdocs/MISP/app/files/scripts/tmp

5/ Create a database and user

# Enter the mysql shell

#2.4
doas mkdir /etc/apache2/sites-available/ /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/

# If the apache version is 2.4:

# Be aware that the configuration files for apache 2.4 and up have changed.
# The configuration file has to have the .conf extension in the sites-available directory
# For more information, visit http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html

doas mkdir /etc/ssl/private/
# If a valid SSL certificate is not already created for the server, create a self-signed certificate: (Make sure to fill the <…>)

!!! danger Important! Change the salt key in /usr/local/www/MISP/app/Config/config.php The salt key must be a string at least 32 bytes long. The admin user account will be generated on the first login, make sure that the salt is changed before you create that user If you forget to do this step, and you are still dealing with a fresh installation, just alter the salt, delete the user from mysql and log in again using the default admin credentials (admin@admin.test / admin)

!!! notice Now log in using the webinterface: http://misp/users/login
The default user/pass = admin@admin.test/admin
Using the server settings tool in the admin interface (Administration -> Server Settings), set MISP up to your preference.
It is especially vital that no critical issues remain!
Don’t forget to change the email, password and authentication key after installation.
Once done, have a look at the diagnostics.

!!! notice If any of the directories that MISP uses to store files is not writeable to the apache user, change the permissions
you can do this by running the following commands: bash chmod -R 750 ${PATH_TO_MISP}/<directory path with an indicated issue> # /!\ Depending on your OS replace www-data with apache or www or whatever user is the web server user. chown -R www-data:www-data ${PATH_TO_MISP}/<directory path with an indicated issue>

!!! notice If anything goes wrong, make sure that you check MISP’s logs for errors: # ${PATH_TO_MISP}/app/tmp/logs/error.log # ${PATH_TO_MISP}/app/tmp/logs/resque-worker-error.log # ${PATH_TO_MISP}/app/tmp/logs/resque-scheduler-error.log # ${PATH_TO_MISP}/app/tmp/logs/resque-2018-10-25.log //where the actual date is the current date

Hardening a base system

Intro

MISP is a web-based information sharing platform, by design it is kept rather simple and hardening can be done by following the common best practices.

Bare in mind that neither the MISP documentation efforts or the core MISP project can give you the ultimate guide on how to harden your system. This is not the purpose of the MISP Project but the purpose and care of those individuals and organizations deploying MISP Instances.

Nevertheless here is a very rough food for thoughts bulletpoint list for you to consider, and a list of some hardening resources below.

Apache

To make Apache less verbose in terms of sending banners, the belo might help.
