Group Schema
Group
Groups represent clusters of adversary activity with shared characteristics, tools, tactics, or infrastructure. They are defined as intrusion-set objects and strictly follow the STIX 2.1 specification without additional custom fields.
Object containing the following properties:
| Property | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
id (*) | string | |
type (*) | 'intrusion-set' | |
spec_version (*) | The version of the STIX specification used to represent this object. | '2.1' |
created (*) | The created property represents the time at which the first version of this object was created. The timstamp value MUST be precise to the nearest millisecond. | string (ISO 8601) |
modified (*) | The modified property represents the time that this particular version of the object was modified. The timstamp value MUST be precise to the nearest millisecond. | string (ISO 8601) |
created_by_ref | The created_by_ref property specifies the id property of the identity object that describes the entity that created this object. If this attribute is omitted, the source of this information is undefined. This may be used by object creators who wish to remain anonymous. | string |
labels | The labels property specifies a set of terms used to meta this object. | Array<string (_min length: 1_)> (min: 1) |
revoked | The revoked property indicates whether the object has been revoked. | boolean |
confidence | Identifies the confidence that the creator has in the correctness of their data. | number (int, ≥1, ≤99) |
lang | Identifies the language of the text content in this object. | string (min length: 1) |
external_references (*) | A list of external references with the first containing a valid ATT&CK ID | Array of at least 1 objects:
|
object_marking_refs | The list of marking-definition objects to be applied to this object. | Array<string (_startsWith: marking-definition--_)> |
granular_markings | The set of granular markings that apply to this object. | Array of objects:
|
extensions | Specifies any extensions of the object, as a dictionary where keys are extension definition UUIDs | Object with dynamic keys of type string (min length: 1) and values of type Object with properties:
string (min length: 1) and values of type unknown |
name (*) | The name of the object. | string (min length: 1) |
x_mitre_attack_spec_version (*) | The version of the ATT&CK spec used by the object. This field helps consuming software determine if the data format is supported. If the field is not present on an object, the spec version will be assumed to be 2.0.0. Refer to the ATT&CK CHANGELOG for all supported versions. | string (min length: 1, regex: /^(0|[1-9]\d*)\.(0|[1-9]\d*)\.(0|[1-9]\d*)$/) |
x_mitre_version (*) | Represents the version of the object in a 'major.minor' format, where both 'major' and 'minor' are integers between 0 and 99. This versioning follows semantic versioning principles but excludes the patch number. The version number is incremented by ATT&CK when the content of the object is updated. This property does not apply to relationship objects. | string (min length: 1, regex: /^(\d{1,2})\.(\d{1,2})$/) |
x_mitre_old_attack_id | Old ATT&CK IDs that may have been associated with this object | string (min length: 1) |
x_mitre_deprecated | Indicates whether the object has been deprecated. | boolean |
description | A description that provides more details and context about the Intrusion Set, potentially including its purpose and its key characteristics | string (min length: 1) |
x_mitre_domains (*) | The technology domains to which the ATT&CK object belongs. | Array<'enterprise-attack' | 'mobile-attack' | 'ics-attack'> (min: 1) |
x_mitre_contributors | People and organizations who have contributed to the object. Not found on objects of type relationship. | Array<string (_min length: 1_)> (min: 1) |
x_mitre_modified_by_ref | The STIX ID of the MITRE identity object. Used to track the identity of the MITRE organization, which created the current version of the object. Previous versions of the object may have been created by other individuals or organizations. | 'identity--c78cb6e5-0c4b-4611-8297-d1b8b55e40b5' |
aliases | Alternative names used to identify this group. The first alias must match the object's name | Array<string (_min length: 1_)> (min: 1) |
first_seen | The time that this Intrusion Set was first seen | string (ISO 8601) |
last_seen | The time that this Intrusion Set was last seen | string (ISO 8601) |
goals | The high-level goals of this Intrusion Set, namely, what are they trying to do | Array<string (_min length: 1_)> (min: 1) |
resource_level | This property specifies the organizational level at which this Intrusion Set typically works, which in turn determines the resources available to this Intrusion Set for use in an attack | 'individual' | 'club' | 'contest' | 'team' | 'organization' | 'government' |
primary_motivation | The primary reason, motivation, or purpose behind this Intrusion Set | 'accidental' | 'coercion' | 'dominance' | 'ideology' | 'notoriety' | 'organizational-gain' | 'personal-gain' | 'personal-satisfaction' | 'revenge' | 'unpredictable' |
secondary_motivations | The secondary reasons, motivations, or purposes behind this Intrusion Set | Array<'accidental' | 'coercion' | 'dominance' | 'ideology' | 'notoriety' | 'organizational-gain' | 'personal-gain' | 'personal-satisfaction' | 'revenge' | 'unpredictable'> (min: 1) |
