Intel Owl

Do you want to get threat intelligence data about a malware, an IP address or a domain? Do you want to get this kind of data from multiple sources at the same time using a single API request?

You are in the right place!

IntelOwl is an Open Source solution for management of Threat Intelligence at scale. It integrates a number of analyzers available online and a lot of cutting-edge malware analysis tools.

Features

This application is built to scale out and to speed up the retrieval of threat info.

It provides:

• Enrichment of Threat Intel for files as well as observables (IP, Domain, URL, hash, etc).
• A Fully-fledged REST APIs written in Django and Python.
• An easy way to be integrated in your stack of security tools to automate common jobs usually performed, for instance, by SOC analysts manually. (Thanks to the official libraries pyintelowl and go-intelowl)
• A built-in GUI: provides features such as dashboard, visualizations of analysis data, easy to use forms for requesting new analysis, etc.
• A framework composed of modular components called Plugins:
  • analyzers that can be run to either retrieve data from external sources (like VirusTotal or AbuseIPDB) or to generate intel from internally available tools (like Yara or Oletools)
  • connectors that can be run to export data to external platforms (like MISP or OpenCTI)
  • pivots that are designed to trigger the execution of a chain of analysis and connect them to each other
  • visualizers that are designed to create custom visualizations of analyzers results
  • ingestors that allows to automatically ingest stream of observables or files to IntelOwl itself
  • playbooks that are meant to make analysis easily repeatable

Partnerships and sponsors

As open source project maintainers, we strongly rely on external support to get the resources and time to work on keeping the project alive, with a constant release of new features, bug fixes and general improvements.

Because of this, we joined Open Collective to obtain non-profit equal level status which allows the organization to receive and manage donations transparently. Please support IntelOwl and all the community by choosing a plan (BRONZE, SILVER, etc).
