Releases

v0.3 (current)

What's new? Why is it useful?
Azure OpenAI Service Integration - Enhanced Integration: Users can now choose to utilise OpenAI models deployed on the Azure OpenAI Service, in addition to the standard OpenAI API. This integration offers a seamless and secure solution for incorporating AttackGen into existing Azure ecosystems, leveraging established commercial and confidentiality agreements.

- Improved Data Security: Running AttackGen from Azure ensures that application descriptions and other data remain within the Azure environment, making it ideal for organizations that handle sensitive data in their threat models.
LangSmith for Azure OpenAI Service - Enhanced Debugging: LangSmith tracing is now available for scenarios generated using the Azure OpenAI Service. This feature provides a powerful tool for debugging, testing, and monitoring of model performance, allowing users to gain insights into the model's decision-making process and identify potential issues with the generated scenarios.

- User Feedback: LangSmith also captures user feedback on the quality of scenarios generated using the Azure OpenAI Service, providing valuable insights into model performance and user satisfaction.
Model Selection for OpenAI API - Flexible Model Options: Users can now select from several models available from the OpenAI API endpoint, such as gpt-4-turbo-preview. This allows for greater customization and experimentation with different language models, enabling users to find the most suitable model for their specific use case.
Docker Container Image - Easy Deployment: AttackGen is now available as a Docker container image, making it easier to deploy and run the application in a consistent and reproducible environment. This feature is particularly useful for users who want to run AttackGen in a containerised environment, or for those who want to deploy the application on a cloud platform.

v0.2

What's new? Why is it useful?
Custom Scenarios based on ATT&CK Techniques - For Mature Organisations: This feature is particularly beneficial if your organisation has advanced threat intelligence capabilities. For instance, if you're monitoring a newly identified or lesser-known threat actor group, you can tailor incident response testing scenarios specific to the techniques used by that group.

- Focused Testing: Alternatively, use this feature to focus your incident response testing on specific parts of the cyber kill chain or certain MITRE ATT&CK Tactics like 'Lateral Movement' or 'Exfiltration'. This is useful for organisations looking to evaluate and improve specific areas of their defence posture.
User feedback on generated scenarios - Collecting feedback is essential to track model performance over time and helps to highlight strengths and weaknesses in scenario generation tasks.
Improved error handling for missing API keys - Improved user experience.
Replaced Streamlit st.spinner widgets with new st.status widget - Provides better visibility into long running processes (i.e. scenario generation).

v0.1

Initial release.

Requirements

  • Recent version of Python.
  • Python packages: pandas, streamlit, and any other packages necessary for the custom libraries (langchain and mitreattack).
  • OpenAI API key.
  • LangChain API key (optional) - see LangSmith Setup section below for further details.
  • Data files: enterprise-attack.json (MITRE ATT&CK dataset in STIX format) and groups.json.

Installation

Option 1: Cloning the Repository

  1. Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/mrwadams/attackgen.git
  1. Change directory into the cloned repository:
cd attackgen
  1. Install the required Python packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt

Option 2: Using Docker

  1. Pull the Docker container image from Docker Hub:
docker pull mrwadams/attackgen

LangSmith Setup

If you would like to use LangSmith for debugging, testing, and monitoring of model performance, you will need to set up a LangSmith account and create a .streamlit/secrets.toml file that contains your LangChain API key. Please follow the instructions here to set up your account and obtain your API key. You'll find a secrets.toml-example file in the .streamlit/ directory that you can use as a template for your own secrets.toml file.

If you do not wish to use LangSmith, you can delete the LangSmith related environment variables from the top of the following files:

  • pages/1_🛡️_Threat_Group_Scenarios.py
  • pages/2_🛠️_Custom_Scenarios.py

Data Setup

Download the latest version of the MITRE ATT&CK dataset in STIX format from here. Ensure to place this file in the ./data/ directory within the repository.

Running AttackGen

After the data setup, you can run AttackGen with the following command:

streamlit run 👋_Welcome.py

You can also try the app on Streamlit Community Cloud.

Usage

Running AttackGen

Option 1: Running the Streamlit App Locally

  1. Run the Streamlit app:
streamlit run 👋_Welcome.py
  1. Open your web browser and navigate to the URL provided by Streamlit.
  2. Use the app to generate standard or custom incident response scenarios (see below for details).

Option 2: Using the Docker Container Image

  1. Run the Docker container:
docker run -p 8501:8501 mrwadams/attackgen

This command will start the container and map port 8501 (default for Streamlit apps) from the container to your host machine. 2. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8501. 3. Use the app to generate standard or custom incident response scenarios (see below for details).

Generating Scenarios

Standard Scenario Generation

  1. Choose whether to use the OpenAI API or the Azure OpenAI Service.
  2. Enter your OpenAI API key, or the API key and deployment details for your model on the Azure OpenAI Service.
  3. Select your organisatin's industry and size from the dropdown menus.
  4. Navigate to the Threat Group Scenarios page.
  5. Select the Threat Actor Group that you want to simulate.
  6. Click on 'Generate Scenario' to create the incident response scenario.
  7. Use the 👍 or 👎 buttons to provide feedback on the quality of the generated scenario.

Custom Scenario Generation

  1. Choose whether to use the OpenAI API or the Azure OpenAI Service.
  2. Enter your OpenAI API Key, or the API key and deployment details for your model on the Azure OpenAI Service.
  3. Select your organisation's industry and size from the dropdown menus.
  4. Navigate to the Custom Scenario page.
  5. Use the multi-select box to search for and select the ATT&CK techniques relevant to your scenario.
  6. Click 'Generate Scenario' to create your custom incident response testing scenario based on the selected techniques.
  7. Use the 👍 or 👎 buttons to provide feedback on the quality of the generated scenario.

Please note that generating scenarios may take a minute or so. Once the scenario is generated, you can view it on the app and also download it as a Markdown file.
