Intel Owl

Do you want to get threat intelligence data about a malware, an IP or a domain? Do you want to get this kind of data from multiple sources at the same time using a single API request?

You are in the right place!

Intel Owl is an Open Source Intelligence, or OSINT solution to get threat intelligence data about a specific file, an IP or a domain from a single API at scale. It integrates a number of analyzers available online and a lot of cutting-edge malware analysis tools. It is for everyone who needs a single point to query for info about a specific file or observable.

Features

• Provides enrichment of Threat Intel for malware as well as observables (IP, Domain, URL, hash, etc).
• This application is built to scale out and to speed up the retrieval of threat info.
• Thanks to the official libraries pyintelowl and go-intelowl, it can be integrated easily in your stack of security tools to automate common jobs usually performed, for instance, by SOC analysts manually.
• Intel Owl is composed of:
  • analyzers that can be run to either retrieve data from external sources (like VirusTotal or AbuseIPDB) or to generate intel from internally available tools (like Yara or Oletools)
  • connectors that can be run to export data to external platforms (like MISP or OpenCTI)
  • playbooks that are meant to make analysis easily repeatable
• API REST written in Django and Python 3.9.
• Built-in frontend client written in ReactJS, with certego-ui: provides features such as dashboard, visualizations of analysis data, easy to use forms for requesting new analysis, etc.

Partnerships and sponsors

As open source project maintainers, we strongly rely on external support to get the resources and time to work on keeping the project alive, with a constant release of new features, bug fixes and general improvements.

Because of this, we joined Open Collective to obtain non-profit equal level status which allows the organization to receive and manage donations transparently. Please support IntelOwl and all the community by choosing a plan (BRONZE, SILVER, etc).

🥇 GOLD

Certego

Certego is a MDR (Managed Detection and Response) and Threat Intelligence Provider based in Italy.

IntelOwl was born out of Certego's Threat intelligence R&D division and is constantly maintained and updated thanks to them.

Dragonfly, an automated sandbox to emulate and analyze malware, is a new public service by Certego developed by the same team behind IntelOwl. It is now available as the Dragonfly_Emulation analyzer in IntelOwl. Sign up on Dragonfly today for free access!

The Honeynet Project

The Honeynet Project is a non-profit organization working on creating open source cyber security tools and sharing knowledge about cyber threats.

Thanks to Honeynet, we are hosting a public demo of the application here. If you are interested, please contact a member of Honeynet to get access to the public service.
