Training Material

TheHive Project maintains a training virtual machine (OVA) containing TheHive, Cortex as well as Cortex analyzers and responders with all their dependencies included, and ElasticSearch. The training VM runs Ubuntu 18.04 with Oracle JRE 8.

The most recent training VM includes:

  • TheHive 3.3.1
  • Cortex 2.1.3
  • TheHive4py 1.6.0
  • Cortex4py 2.0.1
  • and all Cortex analyzers and responders as of Jun 22, 2019.

Warning: The training VM is solely intended to be used for testing or training purposes. We strongly encourage you to refrain from using it in production.

TL;DR

  • Training VM system account : thehive/thehive1234
  • TheHive URL : http://IP_OF_VM:9000
  • Cortex URL : http://IP_OF_VM:9001
  • Cortex superAdmin account : admin/thehive1234
  • Cortex "training" Org admin account : thehive/thehive1234 (its key API is used to enable Cortex service in TheHive)

You can download the VM from the following location:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1v_8GMdXrZnWRiW2X5zw6fXYnCjUD2DPm

Use It

To access TheHive, point your browser to the following URL:

http://IP_OF_VM:9000

To access Cortex, point your browser to the following URL:

http://IP_OF_VM:(9001)

Configure TheHive

The first time you access TheHive, you’ll need to create the associated database by clicking on the Update Database button as shown below:

TheHive’s configuration file is located in /etc/thehive/application.conf. For additional configuration, read the documentation.

Note : after the first login into TheHive, if the Cortex health check fails (look at the Cortex icon at the bottom right side of the UI), it should success after fully reloading the web page.

Configure Cortex

Cortex is already configured with a superAdmin account admin/thehive1234. An organization training is also pre-installed with an account thehive/thehive1234. This account has read/analyze/orgAdmin privileges and TheHive is already configured to use the Cortex service with its key API.

Update Analyzers and Use their Report Templates

With the new version, analyzers are disabled by default. The training VM is delivered with Abuse Finder, File_Info, Msg_Parser and MaxMind GeoIP enabled.

To fully benefit from the latest analyzers, update them and install the associated report templates in TheHive:

  • download the report template package
  • log in TheHive using an administrator account
  • go to Admin > Report templates menu
  • click on Import templates button and select the downloaded package

Plug it with MISP

The test VM does not contain a MISP instance and none is configured in TheHive’s configuration file. To play with MISP, you may want to use the VM our good friends at CIRCL provide. Once you’ve downloaded it or if you have an existing instance, edit /etc/thehive/application.conf and follow the configuration guide.

Restart or Go Mad

After each modification of /etc/thehive/application.conf do not forget to restart the service:

$ sudo service thehive restart

After each modification of /etc/cortex/application.conf do not forget to restart the service:

$ sudo service cortex restart

Troubles?

TheHive service logs are located in /var/log/thehive/application.log.

Cortex service logs are located in /var/log/cortex/application.log.
