Get MITRE ATT&CK malware or a tool by its ATT&CK software id

How to use it

One S-number space covers both purpose-built malware and dual-use tooling, so read software_type rather than inferring intent from the name — 'Net' and 'PsExec' are catalogued here as tools. Pass the id; to reach it from a family name such as 'Cobalt Strike', search first, since aliases are matched only there.

Parameters

• access-token string required

Request body

• timeout integer — Max scrapping execution timeout (in seconds) (default: 300; min: 20; max: 1500)
• software_id string required — ATT&CK software id (examples: "S0002", "S0154"; minLength: 1)

Response

• @type string (default: "MitreAttackSoftware")
• id string required
• stix_id string nullable
• name string nullable
• description string nullable
• web_url string nullable
• domains array (default: [])
• version string nullable
• created_at string nullable
• modified_at string nullable
• contributors array (default: [])
• references array (default: [])
  • @type string (default: "MitreAttackReference")
  • source_name string nullable
  • description string nullable
  • url string nullable
• software_type string nullable
• aliases array (default: [])
• platforms array (default: [])
• is_family boolean nullable

Errors

• 422 — The request body did not validate Check the fields against this schema. A URN with the wrong prefix is the most common cause.
• 408 — The request ran past its time limit Raise `timeout` in the request body, up to the maximum this endpoint documents. Lowering `count` or turning off the `with_*` flags also helps, because less work finishes sooner.
• 412 — ATT&CK has no live software under that id. Retrying will not help: either the entity does not exist, or the input points at a different one.
• 429 — Too many requests: a rate limit or a usage window is exhausted When the response carries an X-Retry-After header, wait that many seconds and retry: the same number is in the body as `detail.retry_after`, and the limit clears once that window passes. The message in the body names the limit that was hit.
• 500 — Something broke on our side Retrying will not help. If it keeps happening, send us the X-Request-ID from the response headers.
• 529 — Rate limit reached, or the endpoint is overloaded Wait at least 30 seconds, then retry.

Response headers

• X-Error — Error message text (present only on error)
• X-Request-ID — Unique request identifier
• X-Execution-Time — Execution time in seconds
• X-Result-Count — How many records the body carries. 0 means an empty result, which is a normal answer and not by itself an error. A non-zero count can come back together with X-Error when the failure happened partway through — read this header and X-Error independently.
• X-Total-Available-Results — How many records exist for this query, when the endpoint can say. On a `dry_run` request this is the answer and the body is empty. It saturates: the endpoint's documented maximum means 'at least that many', any smaller number is exact.
• X-Warning — Present when the request body carried keys this endpoint does not document. They were ignored, so any filter you meant to apply through them did not apply. Check the spelling against this schema and retry.
• X-Retry-After — Seconds to wait before retrying. Present only on 429.
