Query Use Cases Needed!
So here’s a few I’ve needed personally (project only partially uses STIX/TAXII now, but the concepts translate):

  Return all courses of action related to a given set of TTPs (granted this relationship does not exist in STIX now)

Return all TTPs for a given set of indicators  Return all incidents for a given set of indicators  Query by construct type + title (I.e. Give me all campaigns where the name matches Deep Panda)  The most advanced one I can think of: return incidents with specific affected asset (identified by IP or ID)

  Query by threat actor (with expected string search options) I would think to be important.

 All,

 Since query was called out yesterday as a potential challenge for the Channel model that’s been proposed for TAXII, I’d like for us to try and validate the Channel model against query use cases. I’d like for us to start by identifying query use cases that we
  think we care about. For now, a one-liner of the use case is probably the right level of abstraction (we can add more detail later).

 To get the conversation started, here are some things I’ve heard on the list:

  ·  Query by ID
  ·  Query by “observable” (e.g., IP / Hash)

 Once we’ve collected the use cases, we can analyze their impact on the channel model. Please offer up your one-liner query use cases!

 Thank you.

 P.S. We have not forgotten the query discussions of old; this is partly to generate discussion and partly to see what’s still on the forefront.
