Overview

IBM Security SOAR app for AbuseIPDB'

This app pulls data from AbuseIPDB (www.abuseipdb.com) and checks if an IP artifact is blacklisted. If so, it will add a hit to the artifact. This app requires an AbuseIPDB account and an v2 api key to work.

Key Features

• The workflow checks the IP address's reputation and creates a hit in the artifact if AbuseIPDB reports that it is an abusive IP address.

---

Requirements

• resilient-circuits>=50.1.0

This app supports the IBM Security QRadar SOAR Platform and the IBM Security QRadar SOAR for IBM Cloud Pak for Security.

SOAR platform

The SOAR platform supports two app deployment mechanisms, App Host and integration server.

If deploying to a SOAR platform with an App Host, the requirements are:

• SOAR platform >= 43.0.0.
• The app is in a container-based format (available from the AppExchange as a zip file).

If deploying to a SOAR platform with an integration server, the requirements are:

• SOAR platform >= 43.0.0.
• The app is in the older integration format (available from the AppExchange as a zip file which contains a tar.gz file).
• Integration server is running resilient-circuits>=43.0.0.
• If using an API key account, make sure the account provides the following minimum permissions:

  Name	Permissions
  Org Data	Read
  Function	Read

The following SOAR platform guides provide additional information:

• App Host Deployment Guide: provides installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information, including proxy server settings.
• Integration Server Guide: provides installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information, including proxy server settings.
• System Administrator Guide: provides the procedure to install, configure and deploy apps.

The above guides are available on the IBM Documentation website at ibm.biz/soar-docs. On this web page, select your SOAR platform version. On the follow-on page, you can find the App Host Deployment Guide or Integration Server Guide by expanding Apps in the Table of Contents pane. The System Administrator Guide is available by expanding System Administrator.

Cloud Pak for Security

If you are deploying to IBM Cloud Pak for Security, the requirements are:

• IBM Cloud Pak for Security >= 1.9
• Cloud Pak is configured with an App Host.
• The app is in a container-based format (available from the AppExchange as a zip file).

The following Cloud Pak guides provide additional information:

• App Host Deployment Guide: provides installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information, including proxy server settings. From the Table of Contents, select Case Management and Orchestration & Automation > Orchestration and Automation Apps.
• System Administrator Guide: provides information to install, configure, and deploy apps. From the IBM Cloud Pak for Security IBM Documentation table of contents, select Case Management and Orchestration & Automation > System administrator.

These guides are available on the IBM Documentation website at ibm.biz/cp4s-docs. From this web page, select your IBM Cloud Pak for Security version. From the version-specific IBM Documentation page, select Case Management and Orchestration & Automation.

Proxy Server

The app does support a proxy server.

Python Environment

Python 3.6 is supported. Additional package dependencies may exist for each of these packages:

• resilient-circuits>=43.0.0

Endpoint Developed With

This app has been implemented using:

Product Name	Product Version	API URL	API Version
AbuseIPDB	------	https://api.abuseipdb.com/api/v2/check	v2

Prerequisites

• An AbuseIPDB account and a v2 API key

---

Installation

Install

• To install or uninstall an App or Integration on the SOAR platform, see the documentation at ibm.biz/soar-docs.
• To install or uninstall an App on IBM Cloud Pak for Security, see the documentation at ibm.biz/cp4s-docs and follow the instructions above to navigate to Orchestration and Automation.

App Configuration

The following table provides the settings you need to configure the app. These settings are made in the app.config file. See the documentation discussed in the Requirements section for the procedure.

Config	Required	Example	Description
abuseipdb_key	Yes	[your api key from your AbuseIPDB account]	--
abuseipdb_url	Yes	https://api.abuseipdb.com/api/v2/check	--
ignore_white_listed	Yes	True	--

---

Function - AbuseIPDB

Pulls data from AbuseIPDB (www.abuseipdb.com) and checks if an IP artifact is blacklisted. Needs an AbuseIPDB account and an v2 api key to work. Default is reports from the last 30 days, but can be changed to as many as the last 365 days' reports.

Inputs:

Name	Type	Required	Example	Tooltip
abuseipdb_artifact_type	text	Yes	-	-
abuseipdb_range_of_days	number	Yes	30	-
abuseipdb_artifact_value	text	Yes	-	-

Outputs:

NOTE: This example might be in JSON format, but results is a Python Dictionary on the SOAR platform.
