mitre

mitre package is designed to provide easy access to cybersecurity data standards. You can expect sample data frames for every standard object. It provide a directed graph with all relationships for deep exploratory analysis. Using scripts in data-raw folder you can build the data sets using the latest public source files.

Installation

You can install the released version of mitre from CRAN with:

install.packages("mitre")

And the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("motherhack3r/mitre")

Explore cybersecurity standards

This is a basic example which shows you how to view shield tactics ids and names:

library(mitre)
shield <- mitre::shield.tactics
shield[, c("id", "name")]
#>        id       name
#> 1 DTA0001    Channel
#> 2 DTA0002    Collect
#> 3 DTA0003    Contain
#> 4 DTA0004     Detect
#> 5 DTA0005    Disrupt
#> 6 DTA0006 Facilitate
#> 7 DTA0007 Legitimize
#> 8 DTA0008       Test

This example shows the distribution of vulnerability risk:

hist(mitre::cve.nist$cvss3.score, 
     main = "CVE risk distribution", xlab = "cvss3")

Standards network

This code shows you the type of nodes for each standard:

mitrenet <- mitre::build_network(as_igraph = FALSE)
table(mitrenet$nodes$type, mitrenet$nodes$group)
#>                   
#>                    attck capec  car  cpe  cve  cwe shield
