OpenDXL Slack Integration with McAfee TIE (Threat Intelligence Exchange)

The OpenDXL Slack/TIE integration supports running in a "standalone" mode as well as execution within a "Vagrant portable development environment". The steps for running in each of these modes are detailed below.

Usage (Standalone)

The following steps walk through running the OpenDXL Slack/TIE integration in standalone mode:

• Download the latest release of the OpenDXL Slack/TIE integration
• Extract the downloaded release
• Provision the files necessary for an OpenDXL client (dxlclient.config and related certificate files).
  • The steps are identical to those described in the OpenDXL Client Samples Configuration documentation.
• Place the dxlclient.config and related certificate files into the same directory as the dxl_bot.py file (in the extracted release)
• Install the required Python dependencies using the requirements.txt in the release:
  • pip install -r requirements.txt
• Create a Slack account (Team and User)
• Generate a Token for the Team and User
• Set the following environment variables:
  • SLACK_BOT_TOKEN (assign the generated token)
  • BOT_NAME (assign the name of the created Slack User)
• Run the TIE SlackBot via the dxl_bot.py file contained in the the release:
  • SLACK_BOT_TOKEN='<Slack API Key>' BOT_NAME='mycoolbot' python dxl_bot.py
• Navigate to the newly created Slack Team (via Web Browser)
• Send a Slack message that triggers the TIE SlackBot to lookup a file reputation:
  • @securitybot check md5 1c2a2d1853aafec963e5a62264f68134
  • Replace securitybot with name of the Slack User that was created previously
• The SlackBot should respond with the reputations for the specified MD5 hash.
