METRON-114 Created Ansible role to automate deployment of OpenTAXII services
Created an Ansible role that performs automated deployment and setup of
OpenTAXII services. This role has not been integrated into any of the
deployments; Amazon or Vagrant. The integration will occur once all work
related to the "pcap ingest refresh" is complete.
Other things to keep in mind...
- Python 2.7 is needed to support OpenTAXII, but CentOS 6 comes with Python
2.6. The `centos-release-scl` repository is used to install Python 2.7 without
impacting the existing Python 2.6.
- OpenTAXII is installed in a virtual environment to maintain isolation.

# OpenTAXII
Installs [OpenTAXII](https://github.com/EclecticIQ/OpenTAXII) as a deamon
that can be launched via a SysV service script. The complementary client
implementation, [Cabby](https://github.com/EclecticIQ/cabby) is also installed.
OpenTAXII is a robust Python implementation of TAXII Services that delivers
a rich feature set and friendly pythonic API.
[TAXII](https://stixproject.github.io/) (Trusted Automated eXchange of
Indicator Information) is a collection of specifications defining a set of
services and message exchanges used for sharing cyber threat intelligence
information between parties.
## Usage
### Service
A standard SysV script has been installed to manage OpenTAXII. The
following functions are available.
- `start` Start the opentaxii service
- `stop` Stop the opentaxii service
- `restart` Restart the opentaxii service
- `status` Current status of the opentaxii service
- `setup` Creates a set of collections and services to mirror the threat
data made available at [Hail a TAXII](http://hailataxii.com/). Running this
will destroy all existing data.
### Troubleshooting
Should you need to explore the installation, here are instructions on doing
so.
OpenTAXII is installed in a virtual environment. Before exploring the
environment run the following commands to perform the necessary setup. The
specific paths may change depending on your Ansible settings.
```
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/lib64
cd /usr/local/opentaxii
. opentaxii-venv/bin/activate
```
Explore the available collections.
```
taxii-collections --path http://hailataxii.com/taxii-data
taxii-collections --path
http://localhost:9000/services/hailataxii/collection
```
Read data from a collection.
```
taxii-poll --host hailataxii.com --discovery taxii-data -c
guest.phishtank_com
taxii-poll --host localhost:9000 --discovery services/hailataxii/collection
-c hailataxii-phishtank
```
Discover available services.
```
taxii-discovery --discovery http://hailataxii.com/taxii-data
taxii-discovery --discovery
http://localhost:9000/services/hailataxii/discovery
```
Fetch data from a remote service and mirror it locally.
```
taxii-proxy --poll-path http://hailataxii.com/taxii-data \
--poll-collection guest.phishtank_com \
--inbox-path http://localhost:9000/services/inbox \
--inbox-collection hailataxii-phishtank \
--begin 2016-04-17 \
--binding urn:stix.mitre.org:xml:1.1.1 \
--inbox-username guest --inbox-password guest
```
