RE: [EXT] [cacao] Playbook Functionalities

Bret,

I think this looks great. I think a dictionary works well and that itâs a good idea to tie together functionalities and types.

I agree that we might want to change the property nameâ I like âplaybook_characteristicsâ or maybe âplaybook_attributes.â

Subject: [EXT] [cacao] Playbook Functionalities

 

All,

 

Based on the proposal from Marlon, that several people have supported we have the following:

 

playbook_types is optional with a normative SHOULD use

playbook_functionalities is optional with a normate SHOULD use & a normative MUST use if playbook_types is used.

 

This gives us potential of having something like:

 

{
  "type": "playbook",
  "spec_version": "cacao-1.1",
  "id": "playbook--91220064-3c6f-4b58-99e9-196e64f9bde7",
  "name": "Find Malware FuzzyPanda",
  "description": "This playbook will look for FuzzyPanda on the network and in a SIEM",
  "playbook_types": ["investigation", "detection"],
  "playbook_functionalities": ["analyze-collected-data", "identify-indicators", "scan-system"],

....

}

 

I am wondering if playbook_types and playbook_functionalties should be combined to something like:

 

{
  "type": "playbook",
  "spec_version": "cacao-1.1",
  "id": "playbook--91220064-3c6f-4b58-99e9-196e64f9bde7",
  "name": "Find Malware FuzzyPanda",
  "description": "This playbook will look for FuzzyPanda on the network and in a SIEM",
  "playbook_types": {

    "investigation": ["analyze-collected-data", "identify-indicators"],

    "detection": ["scan-system"]

  },
....

}

 

I basically changed playbook_types from a list to a dictionary. Would something like this help?

 

And if we do not like the playbook_types name with the combined data it could be changed to something else. Maybe characteristics or something.  Dez, Rich, Marlon?  Do we want to try and tie the functionalities to the type being used?
