Hardening TheHive4 and Cortex for public deployment

June 18, 2021 A.McHugh 1 Comment

Deploying an incident response platform on the open internet is not always a good idea. For whatever reason you choose to do so, there are some things you need to do before going live with TheHive and Cortex.

In this post, I talk about hardening TheHive and Cortex for an Internet-accessible deployment. This includes the application of TLS v1.2+ and the configuration of multi-factor authentication. Cortex can be further hardened through IP whitelisting, and even walled gardens implemented through Cloudflare.

Every few months, StrangeBee puts out an update to TheHive (Security Incident Response Platform). This month they have added Elasticsearch as an index engine to alleviate issues with using Cassandra, and they have integrated support for MISP galaxies as well!

Now Incident Responders using TheHive can export IOCs and Galaxy assignment directly from TheHive to MISP.

Static analysis for me has become more fun with the inclusion of Assemblyline into my arsenal. But the lack of integration between other elements of my FOSS SOC stack was concerning.

In this post I detail not only how to write a Cortex Analyzer, but also how to integrate with other appliances with that analyzer.

Since the last write up I published on TheHive, there have been some significant changes and updates to TheHive. So for this post I will be walking through the installation and deployment of TheHive4 (4.0.5) and the connection to MISP, Cortex and enabling Webhooks.

I have been an off and on user of TheHive for nearly a year now, and it is encouraging to see the development and release of TheHive4 (even if in pre-release). In this post I will walk through the deployment, configuration and migration of TheHive to TheHive4, and what improvements have been implemented into this release.
