# Processing Stix Taxii Feeds

> Use when processes STIX 2.1 threat intelligence bundles delivered via TAXII 2.1 servers, normalizing objects into platform-native schemas and routing them to appropriate consuming systems. Use when onboarding new TAXII collection endpoints, automating bi-directional intelligence sharing with ISACs, or building pipeline validation for malformed STIX bundles. Activates for requests involving OASIS STIX, TAXII server configuration, MISP TAXII, or Cortex XSOAR feed integrations.

# Processing Stix Taxii Feeds

## Overview

Cybersecurity skill for processing stix taxii feeds. Follows industry best practices and security standards.

## When to Use

**Trigger phrases:**
- "processing stix taxii feeds"
- "Onboarding a new TAXII 2"
- "Validating that ingested STIX bundles conform to the OASIS STIX 2"
- "Building automated pipelines that parse STIX relationship objects to reconstruct"


Use this skill when:
- Onboarding a new TAXII 2.1 collection from a government feed (CISA AIS, FS-ISAC) or commercial provider
- Validating that ingested STIX bundles conform to the OASIS STIX 2.1 specification before import
- Building automated pipelines that parse STIX relationship objects to reconstruct campaign context

**Do not use** this skill for proprietary vendor feed formats (Recorded Future JSON, CrowdStrike IOC lists) that require vendor-specific parsers rather than STIX processing.


## When NOT to Use

- When you lack proper authorization for testing
- For production systems without change management
- When the task requires legal or compliance expertise beyond technical scope


## Prerequisites

- Python 3.9+ with `stix2` library (pip install stix2) and `taxii2-client` library
- Network access to TAXII 2.1 server endpoint with valid credentials
- Target TIP or SIEM with import API (MISP, OpenCTI, or Splunk ES)

## Workflow

```python
# Example: IOC detection
import re

IOC_PATTERNS = {
    "ip": r"\b(?:\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}\b",
    "domain": r"\b[a-z0-9-]+\.[a-z]{2,}\b",
    "hash_md5": r"\b[a-f0-9]{32}\b",
    "hash_sha256": r"\b[a-f0-9]{64}\b",
}

def extract_iocs(text: str) -> dict:
    return {k: re.findall(v, text) for k, v in IOC_PATTERNS.items()}
```

## Anti-Rationalization Table

| Rationalization | Reality |
|---|---|
| "We are too small to be targeted" | Automated attacks target everyone. Size does not matter. |
| "Security slows us down" | A breach slows you down 100x more. Build security in from the start. |
| "We will fix it after launch" | Vulnerabilities in production are exploited within hours. Fix before deploy. |
