python-stix 1.2.0.11 Documentation

The python-stix library provides an API for developing and consuming Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX) content. Developers can leverage the API to develop applications that create, consume, translate, or otherwise process STIX content. This page should help new developers get started with using this library. For more information about STIX, please refer to the STIX website.

Note

These docs provide standard reference for this Python library. For documentation on idiomatic usage and common patterns, as well as various STIX-related information and utilities, please visit the STIXProject at GitHub.

Versions

Each version of python-stix is designed to work with a single version of the STIX Language. The table below shows the latest version the library for each version of STIX.

STIX Version python-stix Version
1.2 1.2.0.11 (PyPI) (GitHub)
1.1.1 1.1.1.18 (PyPI) (GitHub)
1.1.0 1.1.0.6 (PyPI) (GitHub)
1.0.1 1.0.1.1 (PyPI) (GitHub)
1.0 1.0.0a7 (PyPI) (GitHub)

Users and developers working with multiple versions of STIX content may want to take a look at stix-ramrod, which is a library designed to update STIX and CybOX content.

Check out the Working with python-stix section for examples on how to integrate stix-ramrod and python-stix.

Version: 1.2.0.11

Installation

The installation of python-stix can be accomplished through a few different workflows.

Dependencies

The python-stix library relies on some non-standard Python libraries for the processing of STIX content. Revisions of python-stix may depend on particular versions of dependencies to function correctly. These versions are detailed within the distutils setup.py installation script.

The following libraries are required to use python-stix:

  • lxml - A Pythonic binding for the C libraries libxml2 and libxslt.
  • python-cybox - A library for consuming and producing CybOX content.
  • python-dateutil - A library for parsing datetime information.

Each of these can be installed with pip or by manually downloading packages from PyPI. On Windows, you will probably have the most luck using pre-compiled binaries for lxml. On Ubuntu (12.04 or 14.04), you should make sure the following packages are installed before attempting to compile lxml from source:

  • libxml2-dev
  • libxslt1-dev
  • zlib1g-dev

Warning

Users have encountered errors with versions of libxml2 (a dependency of lxml) prior to version 2.9.1. The default version of libxml2 provided on Ubuntu 12.04 is currently 2.7.8. Users are encouraged to upgrade libxml2 manually if they have any issues. Ubuntu 14.04 provides libxml2 version 2.9.1.

Manual Installation

If you are unable to use pip, you can also install python-stix with setuptools. If you don’t already have setuptools installed, please install it before continuing.

  1. Download and install the dependencies above. Although setuptools will generally install dependencies automatically, installing the dependencies manually beforehand helps distinguish errors in dependency installation from errors in stix installation. Make sure you check to ensure the versions you install are compatible with the version of stix you plan to install.
  2. Download the desired version of stix from PyPI or the GitHub releases page. The steps below assume you are using the 1.2.0.11 release.
  3. Extract the downloaded file. This will leave you with a directory named stix-1.2.0.11.
$ tar -zxf stix-1.2.0.11.tar.gz
$ ls
stix-1.2.0.11 stix-1.2.0.11.tar.gz

OR

$ unzip stix-1.2.0.11.zip
$ ls
stix-1.2.0.11 stix-1.2.0.11.zip
  1. Run the installation script.
$ cd stix-1.2.0.11
$ python setup.py install
  1. Test the installation.
$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import stix
>>>

If you don’t see an ImportError, the installation was successful.

Getting Started

This page gives an introduction to python-stix and how to use it.

Note

This page is being actively worked on; feedback is always welcome.

Prerequisites

The python-stix library provides an API for creating or processing STIX content. As such, it is a developer tool that can be leveraged by those who know Python 2.7/3.3+ and are familiar with object-oriented programming practices, Python package layouts, and are comfortable with the installation of Python libraries. To contribute code to the python-stix repository, users must be familiar with git and GitHub pull request methodologies. Understanding XML, XML Schema, and the STIX language is also incredibly helpful when using python-stix in an application.

Your First STIX Application

Once you have installed python-stix, you can begin writing Python applications that consume or create STIX content!

Note

The python-stix library provides bindings and APIs, both of which can be used to parse and write STIX XML files. For in-depth description of the APIs, bindings, and the differences between the two, please refer to APIs or bindings?

Creating a STIX Package
from stix.core import STIXPackage                      # Import the STIX Package API
from stix.report import Report                         # Import the STIX Report API
from stix.report.header import Header                  # Import the STIX Report Header API

stix_package = STIXPackage()                           # Create an instance of STIXPackage
stix_report = Report()                                 # Create a Report instance
stix_report.header = Header()                          # Create a header for the report
stix_report.header.description = "Getting Started!"    # Set the description
stix_package.add(stix_report)                          # Add the report to our STIX Package

print(stix_package.to_xml())                           # Print the XML for this STIX Package
Parsing STIX XML
from stix.core import STIXPackage        # Import the STIX Package API

fn = 'stix_content.xml'                  # The STIX content filename
stix_package = STIXPackage.from_xml(fn)  # Parse using the from_xml() method

Examples

The python-stix GitHub repository contains several example scripts that help illustrate the capabilities of the APIs. These examples can be found here. Accompanying walkthrough slides are available. These scripts are simple command line utilities that can be executed by passing the name of the script to a Python interpreter.

Example:
$ python ex_01.py

Note

You must install python-stix before running these example scripts.

Version: 1.2.0.11

Overview

This page provides a quick overview needed to understand the inner workings of the python-stix library. If you prefer a more hands-on approach, browse the Examples.

Version: 1.2.0.11

ID Namespaces

By default, python-stix sets the default ID namespace to http://example.com with an alias of example. This results in STIX id declarations that look like id="example:Package-2813128d-f45e-41f7-b10a-20a5656e3785".

To change this, use the mixbox.idgen.set_id_namespace() method which takes a dictionary as a parameter.

from stix.core import STIXPackage
from mixbox.idgen import set_id_namespace
from mixbox.namespaces import Namespace

NAMESPACE = Namespace("http://MY-NAMESPACE.com", "myNS")
set_id_namespace(NAMESPACE) # new ids will be prefixed by "myNS"

stix_package = STIXPackage() # id will be created automatically
print stix_package.to_xml()

Which outputs:

<stix:STIX_Package
    xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"
    xmlns:myNS="http://MY-NAMESPACE.com"
    xmlns:stix="http://stix.mitre.org/stix-1"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
    id="myNS:Package-b2039368-9476-4a5b-8c1d-0ef5d1b37e06" version="1.2"/>

Success! The xmlns:myNS="http://MY-NAMESPACE.com" matches our NAMESPACE dictionary and the id attribute includes the myNS namespace alias.

Working With CybOX

When setting the ID namespace in python-stix, the ID namespace will also be set in python-cybox.

Version: 1.2.0.11

Controlled Vocabularies

Many fields in STIX leverage the stixCommon:ControlledVocabularyStringType, which acts as a base type for controlled vocabulary implementations. The STIX language defines a set of default controlled vocabularies which are found in the stix_default_vocabs.xsd XML Schema file.

The python-stix library contains a stix.common.vocabs module, which defines the VocabString class implementation of the schema ControlledVocabularyStringType as well as VocabString implementations which correspond to default controlled vocabularies.

For example, the stix_default_vocabularies.xsd schema defines a controlled vocabulary for STIX Package Intents: PackageIntentVocab-1.0. The stix.common.vocabs module contains an analogous PackageIntent class, which acts as a derivation of VocabString.

Each VocabString implementation contains:

  • A static list of class-level term attributes, each beginning with TERM_` (e.g., ``TERM_INDICATORS)
  • A tuple containing all allowed vocabulary terms: _ALLOWED_VALUES, which is use for input validation. This is generated via the vocabs.register_vocab() class decorator.
  • Methods found on stix.Entity, such as to_xml(), to_dict(), from_dict(), etc.
Interacting With VocabString Fields

The following sections define ways of interacting with VocabString fields.

Default Vocabulary Terms

The STIX Language often suggested a default controlled vocabulary type for a given controlled vocabulary field. Each controlled vocabulary contains an enumeration of allowed terms.

Each VocabString implementation found in the stix.common.vocabs module contains static class-level attributes for each vocabulary term. When setting controlled vocabulary field values, it is recommended that users take advantage of these class-level attributes.

The following demonstrates setting the Package_Intent field with a default vocabulary term. Note that the STIXHeader.package_intents property returns a list. As such, we use the append() method to add terms. Other STIX controlled vocabulary fields may only allow one value rather than a list of values.

from stix.core import STIXHeader
from stix.common.vocabs import PackageIntent

header = STIXHeader()
header.package_intents.append(PackageIntent.TERM_INDICATORS)

print(header.to_xml())

Which outputs:

<stix:STIXHeaderType>
    <stix:Package_Intent xsi:type="stixVocabs:PackageIntentVocab-1.0">Indicators</stix:Package_Intent>
</stix:STIXHeaderType>
Non-Default Vocabulary Terms

Though it is suggested, STIX content authors are not required to use the default controlled vocabulary for a given field. As such, python-stix allows users to pass in non-default values for controlled vocabulary fields.

To set a controlled vocabulary to a non-default vocabulary term, pass a VocabString instance into a controlled vocabulary field.

A raw VocabString field will contain no xsi:type information or _ALLOWED_VALUES members, which removes the input and schema validation requirements.

from stix.core import STIXHeader
from stix.common.vocabs import VocabString, PackageIntent

header = STIXHeader()
non_default_term = VocabString("NON-DEFAULT VOCABULARY TERM")
header.package_intents.append(non_default_term)

print(header.to_xml())

Which outputs:

<stix:STIXHeaderType>
    <stix:Package_Intent>NON-DEFAULT VOCABULARY TERM</stix:Package_Intent>
</stix:STIXHeaderType>

Notice that the <stix:Package_Intent> field does not have an xsi:type attribute. As such, this field can contain any string value and is not bound by a controlled vocabulary enumeration of terms.

Working With Custom Controlled Vocabularies

STIX allows content authors and developers to extend the ControlledVocabularyStringType schema type for the definition of new controlled vocabularies. The python-stix library allows developers to create and register Python types which mirror the custom XML Schema vocabulary types.

XSD Example

The following XML Schema example shows the definition of a a new custom controlled vocabulary schema type. Instances of this schema type could be used wherever a ControlledVocabularyStringType instance is expected (e.g., the STIX_Header/Package_Intent field).

Filename: customVocabs.xsd

<xs:schema

    </xs:simpleType>
</xs:schema>
XML Instance Sample

The following STIX XML instance document shows a potential use of this field. Note the xsi:type=customVocabs:CustomVocab-1.0 on the Package_Intent field.

Filename: customVocabs.xml

<stix:STIX_Package
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:stixExample="http://stix.mitre.org/example"
    xmlns:stix="http://stix.mitre.org/stix-1"

    id="stixExample:STIXPackage-33fe3b22-0201-47cf-85d0-97c02164528d"
    version="1.2">
    <stix:STIX_Header>
        <stix:Package_Intent xsi:type="customVocabs:CustomVocab-1.0">FOO</stix:Package_Intent>
    </stix:STIX_Header>
</stix:STIX_Package>
Python Code

To parse content which uses custom controlled vocabularies, Python developers don’t have to do anything special–you just call STIXPackage.from_xml() on the input and all the namespaces, xsi:types, etc. are attached to each instance of VocabString. When serializing the document, the input namespaces and xsi:type attributes are retained!

However, to create new content which utilizes a schema defined and enforced custom controlled vocabulary, developers must create a VocabString implementation which mirrors the schema definition.

For our CustomVocab-1.0 schema type, the Python would look like this:

from stix.common import vocabs

# Create a custom vocabulary type
@vocabs.register_vocab
class CustomVocab(vocabs.VocabString):
    _namespace = 'http://customvocabs.com/vocabs-1'
    _XSI_TYPE = 'customVocabs:CustomVocab-1.0'

    # Valid terms
    TERM_FOO = 'FOO'
    TERM_BAR = 'BAR'

As you can see, we can express a lot of the same information found in the XML Schema definition, but in Python!

  • _namespace: The targetNamespace for our custom vocabulary
  • _XSI_TYPE: The xsi:type attribute value to write out for instances of this vocabulary.
  • TERM_FOO|BAR: Allowable terms for the vocabulary. These terms are collected for input validation.

Note

The @register_vocab class decorator registers the class and its xsi:type as a VocabString implementation so python-stix will know to build instances of CustomVocab when parsed content contains CustomVocab-1.0 content.

This also inspects the class attributes for any that begin with TERM_ and collects their values for the purpose of input validation.

Warning

Before python-stix 1.2.0.0, users registered custom VocabString implementations via the stix.common.vocabs.add_vocab() method. This method still exists but is considered DEPRECATED in favor of the stix.common.vocabs.register_vocab() class decorator.

Examples

This page includes some basic examples of creating and parsing STIX content.

There are a couple things we do in these examples for purposes of demonstration that shouldn’t be done in production code:

  • In some examples, we use set_id_method(IDGenerator.METHOD_INT) to make IDs for STIX constructs easier to read and cross-reference within the XML document. In production code, you should omit this statement, which causes random UUIDs to be created instead, or create explicit IDs yourself for STIX constructs.

See the STIX Idioms documentation for more great examples of how to use python-stix.

Creating a STIX Package

from stix.core import STIXPackage
from stix.report import Report
from stix.report.header import Header
from stix.utils import IDGenerator, set_id_method

set_id_method(IDGenerator.METHOD_INT) # For testing and demonstration only!

stix_package = STIXPackage()
stix_report = Report()
stix_report.header = Header()
stix_report.header.description = "Getting Started!"
stix_package.add(stix_report)

print(stix_package.to_xml())

Which outputs:

APIs or bindings?

This page describes both the APIs and the bindings provided by the python-stix library.

Overview

The python-stix library provides APIs and utilities that aid in the creation, consumption, and processing of Structured Threat Information eXpression (STIX) content. The APIs that drive much of the functionality of python-stix sit on top of a binding layer that acts as a direct connection between Python and the STIX XML. Because both the APIs and the bindings allow for the creation and development of STIX content, developers that are new to python-stix may not understand the differences between the two. This document aims to identify the purpose and uses of the APIs and bindings.

Bindings

The python-stix library leverages machine generated XML-to-Python bindings for the creation and processing of STIX content. These bindings are created using the generateDS utility and can be found under stix.bindings within the package hierarchy.

The STIX bindings allow for a direct, complete mapping between Python classes and STIX XML Schema data structures. That being said, it is possible (though not advised) to use only the STIX bindings to create STIX documents. However, because the code is generated from XML Schema without contextual knowledge of relationships or broader organizational/developmental schemes, it is often a cumbersome and laborious task to create even the simplest of STIX documents.

Developers within the python-stix team felt that the binding code did not lend itself to rapid development or natural navigation of data, and so it was decided that a higher-level API should be created.

APIs

The python-stix APIs are classes and utilities that leverage the STIX bindings for the creation and processing of STIX content. The APIs are designed to behave more naturally when working with STIX content, allowing developers to conceptualize and interact with STIX documents as pure Python objects and not XML Schema objects.

The APIs provide validation of inputs, multiple input and output formats, more Pythonic access of data structure internals and interaction with classes, and better interpretation of a developers intent through datatype coercion and implicit instantiation.

Note

The python-stix APIs are under constant development. Our goal is to provide full API coverage of the STIX data structures, but not all structures are exposed via the APIs yet. Please refer to the API Reference for API coverage details.

Brevity Wins

The two code examples show the difference in creating and printing a simple STIX document consisting of only a STIX Package and a STIX Header with a description and produced time using the python-stix and python-cybox bindings. Both examples will produce the same STIX XML!

API Example

from datetime import datetime
from stix.core import STIXPackage, STIXHeader
from stix.common import InformationSource
from cybox.common import Time

# Create the STIX Package and STIX Header objects
stix_package = STIXPackage()
stix_header = STIXHeader()

# Set the description
stix_header.description = 'APIs vs. Bindings Wiki Example'

# Set the produced time to now
stix_header.information_source = InformationSource()
stix_header.information_source.time = Time()
stix_header.information_source.time.produced_time = datetime.now()

# Build document
stix_package.stix_header = stix_header

# Print the document to stdout
print(stix_package.to_xml())

Binding Example

import sys
from datetime import datetime

import stix.bindings.stix_core as stix_core_binding
import stix.bindings.stix_common as stix_common_binding
import cybox.bindings.cybox_common as cybox_common_binding

# Create the STIX Package and STIX Header objects
stix_package = stix_core_binding.STIXType()
stix_header = stix_core_binding.STIXHeaderType()

# Set the description
stix_header_description = stix_common_binding.StructuredTextType()
stix_header_description.set_valueOf_('APIs vs. Bindings Wiki Example')

# Set the produced time to now
stix_header_time = cybox_common_binding.TimeType()
stix_header_time.set_Produced_Time(datetime.now())

# Bind the time to the STIX Header's Information Source element
stix_header_info_source = stix_common_binding.InformationSourceType()
stix_header_info_source.set_Time(stix_header_time)

# Build the document
stix_header.set_Description(stix_header_description)
stix_header.set_Information_Source(stix_header_info_source)
stix_package.set_STIX_Header(stix_header)

# Print the document to stdout
stix_package.export(sys.stdout, 0, stix_core_binding.DEFAULT_XML_NS_MAP)

  • include_schemalocs – Export xsi:schemaLocation attribute in the output document. This will attempt to associate namespaces declared in the STIX document with schema locations. If a namespace cannot be resolved to a schemaLocation, a Python warning will be raised. Schemalocations will only be exported if include_namespaces is also True.
  • ns_dict – Dictionary of XML definitions (namespace is key, alias is value) to include in the exported document. This must be passed in if auto_namespace is False.
  • schemaloc_dict – Dictionary of XML namespace: schema location mappings to include in the exported document. These will only be included if auto_namespace is False.
  • pretty – Pretty-print the XML.
  • encoding – The output character encoding. Default is utf-8. If encoding is set to None, a string (unicode in Python 2, str in Python 3) is returned.
Returns:

An XML string for this Entity instance. Default character encoding is utf-8.

The format of the text. For example, html5.

__str__()

Returns a UTF-8 encoded string representation of the value.

__unicode__()

Returns a unicode string representation of the value.

to_dict()

Converts this object into a dictionary representation.

Note

If no properies or attributes are set other than value, this will return a string.

class stix.common.structured_text.StructuredTextList(*args)

Bases: stix.base.TypedCollection, collections.abc.Sequence

A sequence type used to store StructureText objects.

Parameters:*args – A variable-length argument list which can contain single StructuredText objects or sequences of objects.
__delitem__(key)

Removes the item with a given ordinality.

Parameters:key – An ordinality value.
Raises:KeyError – If the key does not match the ordinality for any object in the collection.
__getitem__(key)

Returns the StructuredText object with a matching ordinality.

Parameters:key – An ordinality value.
Raises:KeyError – If key does not match the ordinality of any StructuredText object.
__iter__()

Returns an iterator for the collection sorted by ordinality.

add(value)

Adds the StructuredText value to the collection.

If value is not a StructuredText object, an attempt will be made to convert it to one.

Note

If value does not have an ordinality set, one will be assigned. If value has an ordinality which matches one already in the collection, value will replace the existing item.

Parameters:value – A StructuredText object.
insert(value)

Inserts value into the collection.

If value has an ordinality which conflicts with an existing value, the existing value (and any contiguous values) will have their ordinality values incremented by one.

next_ordinality

Returns the “+1” of the highest ordinality in the collection.

remove(value)

Removes the value from the collection.

reset()

Assigns sequential ordinality values to each of the sorted StructuredText objects, starting with 1 and ending at len(self).

sorted

Returns a copy of the collection of internal StructuredText objects, sorted by their ordinality.

to_dict()

Returns a list of dictionary representations of the contained objects.

An attempt is made to flatten out the returned list when there is only one item in the collection. This is to support backwards compatibility with previous versions of python-stix.

  • If the list repr has more than one item, return the list.
  • If there is only one item, inspect it.
    • If the item is not a dictionary, return it.
    • If its ordinality key has a corresponding value of 1, remove it from the dictionary since it’s assumed if there is only one item.
    • After removing ordinality, if the only key left is value, just return the value of value (a string).
to_obj(ns_info=None)

Returns a binding object list for the StructuredTextList.

If the list has a length of 1, and its member has an ordinality of 1, the ordinality will be unset.

update(iterable)

Adds each item of iterable to the collection.

Note

Any existing objects with conflicting ordinality values will be overwritten.

Parameters:iterable – An iterable collection of StructuredText objects to add to this collection.

  • auto_namespace – Automatically discover and export XML namespaces for a STIX Entity instance.
  • include_namespaces – Export namespace definitions in the output XML. Default is True.
  • include_schemalocs – Export xsi:schemaLocation attribute in the output document. This will attempt to associate namespaces declared in the STIX document with schema locations. If a namespace cannot be resolved to a schemaLocation, a Python warning will be raised. Schemalocations will only be exported if include_namespaces is also True.
  • ns_dict – Dictionary of XML definitions (namespace is key, alias is value) to include in the exported document. This must be passed in if auto_namespace is False.
  • schemaloc_dict – Dictionary of XML namespace: schema location mappings to include in the exported document. These will only be included if auto_namespace is False.
  • pretty – Pretty-print the XML.
  • encoding – The output character encoding. Default is utf-8. If encoding is set to None, a string (unicode in Python 2, str in Python 3) is returned.
Returns:

An XML string for this Entity instance. Default character encoding is utf-8.

stix.extensions.marking.ais Module

STIX Extension for AIS Data Markings

Unlike the other marking extensions, the AIS marking extension is not loaded automatically, since AIS markings are not a part of the published STIX 1.x specifications. They are included in python-stix because they’re common enough that it is not worth creating a separate package.

If you are writing code that needs to parse AIS markings, make sure that your program imports this module before beginning to parse any STIX documents:

import stix.extensions.marking.ais
Classes
class stix.extensions.marking.ais.AISMarkingStructure(is_proprietary=None, not_proprietary=None)

Bases: stix.data_marking.MarkingStructure

Functions
stix.extensions.marking.ais.add_ais_marking(stix_package, proprietary, consent, color, **kwargs)

This utility functions aids in the creation of an AIS marking and appends it to the provided STIX package.

Parameters:
  • stix_package – A stix.core.STIXPackage object.
  • proprietary – True if marking uses IsProprietary, False for NotProprietary.
  • consent – A string with one of the following values: “EVERYONE”, “NONE” or “USG”.
  • color – A string that corresponds to TLP values: “WHITE”, “GREEN” or “AMBER”.
  • **kwargs – Six required keyword arguments that are used to create a CIQ identity object. These are: country_name_code, country_name_code_type, admin_area_name_code, admin_area_name_code_type, organisation_name, industry_type.
Raises:

ValueError – When keyword arguments are missing. User did not supply correct values for: proprietary, color and consent.

Note

The following line is required to register the AIS extension:

>>> import stix.extensions.marking.ais

Any Markings under STIX Header will be removed. Please follow the guidelines for AIS.

The industry_type keyword argument accepts: a list of string based on defined sectors, a pipe-delimited string of sectors, or a single sector.

Examples
Applying AIS Markings

The STIX specification allows data markings to be applied to any combination of attributes and elements that can be described by XPath. That being said, the Automated Indicator Sharing (AIS) capability requires those markings controlled structure to select all nodes and attributes //node() | //@*. All required fields to create a valid AIS Markings are provided through the add_ais_marking function.

Parsing AIS Markings

Using the same example used for Applying AIS Markings. This would be how a consumer of AIS would parse the data.

# python-stix imports

# Parse STIX Package
stix_package = STIXPackage.from_xml("stix_input.xml")

# Print all indicators
for indicator in stix_package.indicators:
    print(indicator)

# Extract markings from STIX Header
markings = stix_package.stix_header.handling

# Print all markings contained in the STIX Header
for marking in markings:
    print(marking)
