Provide custom search commands to update malware-filter lookups. Each command downloads from a source CSV and emit rows as events which can then be piped to a lookup file or used as a subsearch. Each command is exported globally and can be used in any app. This add-on currently does not have any UI.

Tested on Splunk 9.x.

Installation

Releases are available at https://gitlab.com/malware-filter/splunk-malware-filter/-/releases

Instruction to build the main branch is available at the Build section.

Usage

| geturlhausfilter wildcard_prefix=<string> wildcard_suffix=<string> wildcard_affix=<string> message=<string>
| outputlookup override_if_empty=false urlhaus-filter-splunk-online.csv

Optional arguments:

• wildcard_prefix <string>: list of column names to have wildcard "*" prefixed to their non-empty value. New column(s) named "{column_name}_wildcard_prefix" will be created. Non-existant column will be silently ignored. Accepted values: "column_name", "columnA,columnB".
• wildcard_suffix <string>: Same as wildcard_prefix but have the wildcard suffixed instead.
• wildcard_affix <string>: Same as wildcard_prefix but have the wildcard prefixed and suffixed.
• message <string>: Add custom message column. New column "custom_message" will be created.

Example:

| geturlhausfilter
| outputlookup override_if_empty=false urlhaus-filter-splunk-online.csv

host	path	message	updated
example2.com	/some-path	urlhaus-filter malicious website detected	2022-12-21T12:34:56Z

| geturlhausfilter wildcard_prefix=path message="lorem ipsum"
| outputlookup override_if_empty=false urlhaus-filter-splunk-online.csv

host	path	message	updated	path_wildcard_prefix	message
example2.com	/some-path	urlhaus-filter malicious website detected	2022-12-21T12:34:56Z	*/some-path	lorem ipsum
example.com		urlhaus-filter malicious website detected	2022-12-21T12:34:56Z		lorem ipsum
