ICS (Industrial Control Systems)

This documentation provides details about the ICSAttck class within the pyattck package.

The ICSAttck class provides detailed information about data within the ICS MITRE ATT&CK framework

Each of the main properties (above) can return a json object of the entire object or you can access each property individually. An example of this is here:

from pyattck import Attck

attack = Attck()

# accessing techniques and their properties
for technique in attack.ics.techniques:
	# if you want to return individual properties of this object you call them directly
	print(technique.id)
	print(technique.name)
	print(technique.alias)
	print(technique.description)
	print(technique.stix)
	print(technique.platforms)
	print(technique.permissions)
	print(technique.wiki)
	.....

The following is only a small sample of the available properties on each object and each object type (malware, mitigations, tactics, and techniques) will have different properties that you can access.

  • Every data point has exposed properties that allow the user to retrieve additional data based on relationships:
    • Malware
      • Techniques this malware is used with
    • Mitigation
      • Techniques related to a specific set of mitigation suggestions
    • Tactic
      • Techniques found in a specific Tactic (phase)
    • Technique
      • Relationship Objects
        • Tactics a technique is found in
        • Mitigation suggestions for a given technique
      • External Data
        • command_list - A list of commands from multiple open-source tools and repositories that contain potential commands used by a technique
        • commands - A list of property objects that contain the Name, Source, andCommand` dataset
        • queries - A list of potential queries for different products to identify threats within your environment by technique
        • datasets - A list of the datasets as it relates to a technique
        • possible_detections - A list of potential detections for different products (e.g. NSM rules) as it relates to a technique
        • For more detailed information about these features, please view the following External Datasets

Below shows you how you can access each of object types and their properties. Additionally, you can access related object types associated with this selected object type:
