CTI CybOX SC Meeting December 17, 2015
Agenda Recent Discussion Recap Device/System Object Refactoring Discussion Extensions Draft Face to Face Agenda OASIS Work Product Update
Recent Discussion Recap I File Object Refactoring File metadata properties More explicit directory characterization FieldTypeMultiplicityDescription is_directoryboolean1 A required flag that indicates whether the file object instance represents a directory (if TRUE) or a file (if FALSE). file_namestring0-1 The name of the file, including its extension (if known) but excluding its path. This field may only be included ONLY IF the is_directory property is set to FALSE. file_pathFilePath0-1 The path to the file on the file system, excluding its name and extension. If this field is included without the file_name field, the file object instance specifies a directory. FieldTypeMultiplicityDescription extension_typestring1 Specifies the type of this extension; required and MUST be set to 'FileMetadataExtension' mime_typestring0-1 The MIME type name from the IANA media type registry ( specified for the file, e.g., "msword".
Recent Discussion Recap II Capture of Analytical Observations E.g., file masquerading “malware.exe.txt” Is this something that belongs in CybOX? is_masqueraded = true Or should CybOX only support “the facts” that support the analytical observation, and leave the observations to be captured elsewhere? file_name = “malware.exe.txt” mime_type = “vnd.microsoft.portable-executable”
