Storm Commands

This package implements the following Storm Commands.

censys.apiinfo

Display Censys API info for the Legacy API key.


Deprecated: "censys.apiinfo" is deprecated: This command relies on the Censys Legacy API.

Usage: censys.apiinfo [options]

Options:

  --help                      : Display the command usage.

The command is accessible to users with one or more of the following permissions:

  • power-ups.censys.user

censys.certs.enrich

Ingest and parse the full cert from the Censys Legacy API.

If an inbound node does not pivot to a hash:sha256 it will be skipped.

Labels provided by the Censys API will be added as tags to the certificate
node.

NOTE: This is a Censys Legacy API command. Censys Platform users should use the
  ``censys.platform.certs.enrich`` command instead.

Examples:

  // Enrich a file:bytes node and yield the crypto:x509:cert node
  file:bytes#myfile | censys.certs.enrich --yield

  // Enrich a crypto:x509:cert node
  crypto:x509:cert#mycert | censys.certs.enrich

censys.hosts.history

Ingest historical events about an IP address.

NOTE: The `--details` flag is only used when a "service_observed", "service_added_to_host", or
  "service_enriched" event is encountered. This flag will cause an extra host lookup to happen
  to get detailed host information at the time of the event. Be aware this flag may cause a
  lot of additional queries - recommend using only with a very small time window
  (`--start <time>` and `--end <time>`).

NOTE: This is a Censys Legacy API command. Censys Platform users should use the
  ``censys.platform.hosts.history`` command instead.

Host labels provided by the Censys API will be added as tags to the IP
node, and service labels will be added as tags to the ``inet:flow``
nodes.

Examples:

  // Enrich an IPv4 and yield inet:flow nodes
  inet:ipv4=1.1.1.1 | censys.platform.hosts.enrich --yield

  // Enrich an IPv4 with historical data
  inet:ipv4=1.1.1.1 | censys.platform.hosts.enrich --time "2021-01-01 15:00"


Endpoints:

  /global/asset/host/{ip}     : Retrieve information about a host.

  --debug                     : Show verbose debug output.
  --time <time>               : Get historical information about a host at a specific time.
  --yield                     : Yield the newly created inet:flow nodes.
  --config <config>           : Override the default config with the provided name.

Inputs:
