AlienVault OTX

Modified on: Mon, 24 Oct, 2022 at 1:28 PM

Overview

Maltego AlienVault OTX Transforms bring AT&T's Open Threat Exchange integration to Maltego.


AlienVault Open Threat Exchange® (OTX™) is an open information sharing and analysis network where anyone can provide OTX Pulses.


OTX Pulses provide a summary of the threat, a view into the software targeted, and the related indicators of compromise (IOC) that can be used to detect the threats.


The OTX Transforms provide a means to query Pulses and the following IOCs:

  • IP Addresses
  • Domains
  • Hostnames (subdomains)
  • Email
  • URL/URI
  • File Hashes: MD5, SHA1, SHA256, PEHASH, IMPHASH
  • CIDR Rules
  • File Paths
  • MUTEX name
  • CVE number


Founded by AlienVault (now AT&T Cybersecurity), the Open Threat Exchange (OTX) offers a place for thousands of threat researchers and security professionals to share and discuss the latest threats and the indicators linked to them. With more than 140,000 participants from 140 countries, OTX receives more than 19 million indicators daily.


The new AlienVault OTX Transforms in Maltego allow users to harness this power for free and query threat intelligence using Maltego.


Access

Registration is free. Users will need to register using their email address. Following successful registration, users will be provided with an API key which is required to fully exploit the OTX Transform Hub item.

Updates

12 October 2022

AlienVault Pagination Timeout Update:

A Pagination Timeout setting was added which takes in seconds. 

  • This timeout is used by Transforms when fetching API results from AlienVault. 
  • This is a time-consuming process and to avoid requests hanging and customers losing transform results, Transforms will return the collected data when the pagination timeout elapses. 
  • The default value is 60 seconds and  the maximum that can be set is 120 seconds.

 

Affected Transforms:

  • dnsNameToUrlSectionUrl
  • domainToUrlSectionUrl
  • ipv4AddressToUrlSectionUrl
  • ipv6AddressToUrlSectionUrl
  • urlToUrlListSectionIpAddress
