Mihari : A Helper To Run OSINT Queries & Manage Results Continuously

Mihari is a helper to run queries & manage results continuously. Mihari can be used for C2, landing page and phishing hunting.

How It Works?

  • Mihari makes a query against Shodan, Censys, VirusTotal, SecurityTrails, etc. and extracts artifacts (IP addresses, domains, URLs and hashes) from the results.
  • Mihari checks whether a DB (SQLite3 or PostgreSQL) contains the artifacts or not.
    • If it doesn’t contain the artifacts:
      • Mihari creates an alert on TheHive. (Optional)
      • Mihari sends a notification to Slack. (Optional)
      • Mihari creates an event on MISP. (Optional)

Screenshots

  • TheHive alert example
  • Slack notification example
  • MISP event example

Requirements

  • Ruby 2.6+
  • SQLite3
  • libpq

# For Debian / Ubuntu
apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libpq-dev

Installation

gem install mihari

Or you can use this tool with Docker.

docker pull ninoseki/mihari

Basic Usage

Mihari supports the following services by default.

$ mihari
Commands:
– mihari alerts # Show the alerts on TheHive
– mihari binaryedge [QUERY] # BinaryEdge host search by a query

– mihari zoomeye [QUERY] # ZoomEye search by a query
Options:
[–config=CONFIG] # path to config file

Cross Searches

Mihari has cross search features. A cross search is a search across a number of services.

You can get aggregated results by using the following commands.

CommandDesc.
passive_dnsPassive DNS lookup with CIRCL passive DNS, OTX, PassiveTotal, Pulsedive, SecurityTrails and VirusTotal
passive_sslPassive SSL lookup with CIRCL passive SSL and PassiveTotal
reverse_whoisRevese Whois lookup with PassiveTotal and SecurityTrails
http_hashHTTP response hash lookup with BinaryEdge(SHA256), Censys(SHA256), Onyphpe(MD5) and Shodan(MurmurHash3)
free_textFree text lookup with BinaryEdge and Censys
ssh_fingerprintSSH fingerprint lookup with BinaryEdge and Shodan

Http_Hash Command

The usage of http_hash command is a little bit tricky.

$ mihari help http_hash

Usage:
mihari http_hash

Options:
[–title=TITLE] # title
[–description=DESCRIPTION] # description
[–tags=one two three] # tags
[–md5=MD5] # MD5 hash
[–sha256=SHA256] # SHA256 hash
[–mmh3=N] # MurmurHash3 hash

Cross search with search engines by a hash of an HTTP response (SHA256, MD5 and MurmurHash3)

There are 2 ways to use this command.

First one is passing --md5, --sha256 and --mmh3 parameters.

mihari http_hash –md5=881191f7736b5b8cfad5959ca99d2a51 –sha256=b064187ebdc51721708ad98cd89dacc346017cb0fb0457d530032d387f1ff20e –mmh3=-1467534799

Another one is passing --html parameter. In this case, hashes of an HTML file are automatically calculated.

wget http://example.com -O /tmp/index.html mihari http_hash –html /tmp/index.html

Example Usages

#Censys lookup for PANDA C2
mihari censys ‘(“PANDA” AND “SMAdmin” AND “layui”)’ –title “PANDA C2”

#VirusTotal passive DNS lookup of a FAKESPY host
mihari virustotal “jppost-hi.top” –title “FAKESPY passive DNS”

#You can pass a “defanged” indicator as an input
mihari virustotal “jppost-hi[.]top” –title “FAKESPY passive DNS”

Import From JSON

echo ‘{ “title”: “test”, “description”: “test”, “artifacts”: [“1.1.1.1”, “github.com”, “2.2.2.2”] }’ | mihari import_from_json

The input is a JSON data should have title, description and artifacts key. tags key is an optional parameter.

{
“title”: “test”,
“description”: “test”,
“artifacts”: [“1.1.1.1”, “github.com”],
“tags”: [“test”]
}

KeyDesc.Required or optional
titleA title of an alertRequired
descriptionA description of an alertRequired
artifactsAn array of artifacts (supported data types: ip, domain, url, email, hash)Required
tagsAn array of tagsOptional

Configuration

Configuration can be done via environment variables or a YAML file.

KeyDescriptionDefault
DATABASEA path to the SQLite database or a DB URL (e.g. postgres://postgres:pass@db.host:5432/somedb)mihari.db
BINARYEDGE_API_KEYBinaryEdge API key
CENSYS_IDCensys API ID
CENSYS_SECRETCensys secret
CIRCL_PASSIVE_PASSWORDCIRCL passive DNS/SSL password
CIRCL_PASSIVE_USERNAMECIRCL passive DNS/SSL username
MISP_API_ENDPOINTMISP URL
MISP_API_KEYMISP API key
ONYPHE_API_KEYOnyphe API key
OTX_API_KEYOTX API key
PASSIVETOTAL_API_KEYPassiveTotal API key
PASSIVETOTAL_USERNAMEPassiveTotal username
PULSEDIVE_API_KEYPulsedive API key
SECURITYTRAILS_API_KEYSecurityTrails API key
SHODAN_API_KEYShodan API key
SLACK_CHANNELSlack channel name#general
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URLSlack Webhook URL
SPYSE_API_KEYSpyse API key
THEHIVE_API_ENDPOINTTheHive URL
THEHIVE_API_KEYTheHive API key
URLSCAN_API_KEYurlscan.io API key
VIRUSTOTAL_API_KEYVirusTotal API key
ZOOMEYE_PASSWORDZoomEye password
ZOOMEYE_USERNAMMEZoomEye username

Instead of using environment variables, you can use a YAML file for configuration.

mihari virustotal 1.1.1.1 –config /path/to/yaml.yml

The YAML file should be a YAML hash like below:

database: /tmp/mihari.db
thehive_api_endpoint: https://localhost
thehive_api_key: foo
virustotal_api_key: foo

You can check the configuration status via status command.

mihari status

$ docker run –rm ninoseki/mihari -e THEHIVE_API_ENDPOINT=”http://THEHIVE_URL” -e THEHIVE_API_KEY=”API KEY” mihari
#or
$ docker run –rm ninoseki/mihari –env-file ~/.mihari.env mihari
