MISP RPM

Installing MISP on Red Hat / CentOS base systems is a bit difficult, as they provide either older versions like PHP (e.g. 5.6), or the newer versions are installed into different paths on the systems.

We know, with our RPMs we break a number of rules for Red Hat based systems, but on the same time they simplify the process of getting MISP running on RHEL systems. From our tests we got very good results to operate MISP on RHEL servers without any big issues. So if you can profit from our work, please feel free to do so!

Architecture

The idea is to install minimal CentOS or Red Hat system and enable the provided repository on it. Combining MISP with other PHP applications might work, but was not the intention for this project. The intended setup is to just use MISP on this server.

Summary

We provide the following components as RPMs

• misp
• required python modules as a virtual environment
  • pymisp
• misp-modules with required submodules in a virtual environment

Requirements:

• php 7.4.x (will be installed from external remi repository)
• mariadb 11.4.x (will be installed from external mariadb repository)

With our RPMs there's no need to use git to install MISP and you don't need a to install from github.com. All you is to be able to include our repository on your systems. MariaDB will be installed from the official mariadb repository.

Use the configuration recommendations to configure your system for MISP. This settings are not provided by the RPMS but will help to improve operating your MISP installation.

Upgrading MISP

See the upgrading instructions to upgrade MISP from our repository

Simple Background jobs

See the official documentation how to activate the SimpleBackgroundJobs. Most important settings are

• /etc/supervisord.conf

  [inet_http_server]
  port=127.0.0.1:9001
  username=supervisor
  password=securePasswordHere

• /etc/supervisord.d/misp-workers.ini see the official documentation for this file

• start and enable supervisord

  systemctl enable supervisord
  systemctl start supervisord

• enable SimpleBackgroundJobs in MISP

  'SimpleBackgroundJobs' => array(
  'enabled' => true,
  'redis_host' => 'localhost',
  'redis_port' => 6379,
  'redis_password' => '',
  'redis_database' => 13,
  'redis_namespace' => 'background_jobs',
  'max_job_history_ttl' => 86400,
  'supervisor_host' => 'localhost',
  'supervisor_port' => 9001,
  'supervisor_user' => 'supervisor',
  'supervisor_password' => 'securePasswordHere',
  ),

• check the workers are started, status should be 'RUNNING' for all workers

  supervisorctl -s http://localhost:9001 -u supervisor -p securePasswordHere status
