Don’t let the minor version number change fool you, this release is a game changer for MISP and information sharing in general. Galaxy 2.0 brings about the ability to customise Galaxy clusters (threat-actors, @MITREattack or any knowledge base element) as well as to extend and share it within your community. This release also includes many new improvements such as a new authkey system to better handle your API keys in MISP.
The galaxy 2.0 feature is large and provide many new features. For a complete overview, the following slide deck provides a good introduction to galaxy 2.0.
Advanced authkeys will allow each user to create and manage a set of authkeys for themselves, each with individual expirations and comments. API keys are stored in a hashed state and can no longer be recovered from MISP. Users will be prompted to note down their key when creating a new authkey. You can generate a new set of API keys for all users on demand in the diagnostics page, or by triggering the advanced upgrade. If you upgrade your MISP, you need to enable this new feature in the security configuration (Security.advanced_authkeys).
MISP (and MISP standard format) now includes the support for JARM, active Transport Layer Security (TLS) server fingerprinting tool.
Additionally, a host of other improvements are documented in the complete changelog.
We would like to thank all the contributors, reporters and users who have helped us in the past months to improve MISP and information sharing at large. This release includes multiple updates in misp-objects, misp-taxonomies and misp-galaxy .
As always, a detailed and complete changelog is available with all the fixes, changes and improvements.
