## Introduction

OpenCTI is an open source platform allowing organizations to manage their cyber threat intelligence knowledge and observables. It has been created in order to structure, store, organize and visualize technical and non-technical information about cyber threats.

The structuration of the data is performed using a knowledge schema based on the [STIX2 standards](https://oasis-open.github.io/cti-documentation/). It has been designed as a modern web application including a [GraphQL API](https://graphql.org) and a UX-oriented frontend. Also, OpenCTI can be integrated with other tools and applications such as [MISP](https://github.com/MISP/MISP), [TheHive](https://github.com/TheHive-Project/TheHive), [MITRE ATT&CK](https://github.com/mitre/cti), etc.



## Objective

The goal is to create a comprehensive tool allowing users to capitalize technical (such as TTPs and observables) and non-technical information (such as suggested attribution, victimology etc.) while linking each piece of information to its primary source (a report, a MISP event, etc.), with features such as links between each information, first and last seen dates, levels of confidence, etc. The tool is able to use the [MITRE ATT&CK framework](https://attack.mitre.org) (through a [dedicated connector](https://github.com/OpenCTI-Platform/connectors)) to help structure the data. The user can also choose to implement their own datasets.

Once data has been capitalized and processed by the analysts within OpenCTI, new relations may be inferred from existing ones to facilitate the understanding and the representation of this information. This allows the user to extract and leverage meaningful knowledge from the raw data.

OpenCTI not only allows [imports](https://docs.opencti.io/latest/usage/import-automated/) but also [exports of data](https://docs.opencti.io/latest/usage/feeds/) under different formats (CSV, STIX2 bundles, etc.). [Connectors](https://hub.filigran.io/cybersecurity-solutions/open-cti-integrations) are currently developed to accelerate interactions between the tool and other platforms.

## Editions of the platform

OpenCTI platform has 2 different editions: Community (CE) and Enterprise (EE). The purpose of the Enterprise Edition is to provide [additional and powerful features](https://filigran.io/offering/subscribe) which require specific investments in research and development. You can enable the Enterprise Edition directly in the settings of the platform.

* OpenCTI Community Edition, licensed under the [Apache 2, Version 2.0 license](LICENSE).
* OpenCTI Enterprise Edition, licensed under the [Enterprise Edition license](LICENSE).

To understand what OpenCTI Enterprise Edition brings in terms of features, just check the [Enterprise Editions page](https://filigran.io/offering/subscribe) on the Filigran website. You can also try this edition by enabling it in the settings of the platform.

## Documentation and demonstration

If you want to know more on OpenCTI, you can read the [documentation on the tool](https://docs.opencti.io). If you wish to discover how the OpenCTI platform is working, a [demonstration instance](https://demo.opencti.io) is available and open to everyone. This instance is reset every night and is based on reference data maintained by the OpenCTI developers.

## Releases download

The releases are available on the [Github releases page](https://github.com/OpenCTI-Platform/opencti/releases). You can also access the [rolling release package](https://releases.opencti.io) generated from the master branch of the repository.

## Installation

## About

### Authors

OpenCTI is a product designed and developed by the company [Filigran](https://filigran.io).

### Data Collection

#### Usage telemetry

To improve the features and the performances of OpenCTI, the platform collects anonymous statistical data related to its usage and health.

You can find all the details on collected data and associated usage in the [usage telemetry documentation](https://docs.opencti.io/latest/reference/usage-telemetry/).

#### OpenStreetMap server

To provide OpenCTI users with cartography features, the platform uses a dedicated OpenStreetMap server (https://map.opencti.io). To monitor usage and adapt service performance, Filigran collects access logs to this server (including IP addresses).

By using this server, you authorize Filigran to collect this information. Otherwise, you are free to deploy your own OpenStreetMap server and modify the platform configuration accordingly.

If you have started using the Filigran server and change your mind, you have the right to access, limit, rectify, erase and receive your data. To exercise your rights, please send your request to privacy@filigran.io.

## Introduction

This is the main repository of the OpenCTI Documentation space. The online version is available directly on [docs.opencti.io](https://docs.opencti.io).

## Install and display the documentation locally

Clone the repository:

```sh
git clone git@github.com:OpenCTI-Platform/opencti.git
cd docs
```

Install dependencies

```sh
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Run local server with hot-reload:

## Contribute

You can contribute to the documentation by submitting a pull request on GitHub. 
Please make sure to follow the [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/OpenCTI-Platform/opencti?tab=contributing-ov-file#contributing-to-opencti).

### Caveats

The following notable issues have been identified in the past and should be checked before submitting a pull request.

#### Bullet or ordered lists not rendered properly

```md
Some text
- Item 1
- Item 2
```

Will not be rendered properly, and displayed as a paragraph. 
To fix this, make sure to add a blank line before the first item in the list:

```md
Some text

- Item 1
- Item 2
```

#### Anchored links not working

When linking to a section in the same page, make sure to use the correct anchor link.
For instance:

```md
## My (super) section
```
Will be accessible with the following link: `#my-super-section` (all lowercase, spaces replaced by dashes, and special characters removed).

#### Documentation page not accessible from the sidebar

Make sure to add new documentation pages in the `mkdocs.yml` file under the `nav` section.
Then, make sure to build the documentation locally and check for errors and warnings in the terminal output.

## Deploy the documentation

The deployment relies on `mike`.

### Check existing versions

List existing versions with:

```sh
mike list
```
