# Splunk SIEM

The Silent Push app for Splunk enhances your SIEM environment by integrating proactive threat intelligence. It enables real-time lookups, feed ingestion, and correlation of domains, IPs, and Indicators of Future Attack (IOFATM) with Splunk event data, streamlining threat detection and response.

## Key features

The Silent Push app integrates the following Silent Push data types into Splunk:

- **Indicators of Future Attack (IOFA)**: Provides early warnings of potential breaches by correlating with existing logs.
- **PADNS data**: Accesses DNS records and enriches context with metrics like IP Diversity for threat hunting and analysis.
- **Reputation data**: Investigates the history and trustworthiness of indicators like ASNs, nameservers, and subnets.
- **Enrichment data**: Retrieves context for domains, IPv4, and IPv6 to identify and understand potential security threats.
- **Web Scan data**: Searches historical IP scanning data, retrieves current metadata, and captures screenshots for incident response.
- **Correlation results**: Matches indicators within Splunk indices to enhance security monitoring and incident response.

## Benefits

- Splunk users gain seamless access to Silent Push's threat intelligence datasets.
- Correlate logs with IOFAs for early breach warnings.
- Access enriched context for domains, IPs, and other indicators.
- Automate data enrichment with reputation and risk scores for domains and IPs.
- Security logs are enriched with risk and reputation scores, enabling faster, informed decisions.

## Requirements

In order to get started with the Silent Push app for Splunk, users must have the following:

- **Silent Push API Key**: Obtain a valid API key from a Silent Push account.
- **Splunk Version**: Compatible with Splunk Enterprise 9.0.x, 9.1.x, 9.2.x, 9.3.x, or Splunk Cloud.
- **Operating system**: Platform-independent.
- **Optional**:
  - Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) for matching indicators with data model events.
  - Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) for creating notable events based on correlations.

## Deployment Options

### Standalone Instance

Install the Silent Push app on a single Splunk instance and configure it as described in the Configuration section below.

### Distributed Environment

- Install the app to collect and forward Silent Push-enriched logs to indexers.
- Install to enable dashboards, correlation searches, and direct queries. In Search Head Clusters, install on all search heads but configure only one instance; configurations replicate via the KVStore.

### Splunk Cloud

- Install the app on a Splunk Cloud Search Head for correlation, searches, and dashboards.
- For data collection, configure the app on a Splunk-managed Input Data Manager (IDM) or an on-premises Heavy Forwarder. Contact Splunk Support for assistance with IDM configuration.

## Install Silent Push integration

- **From SplunkBase**: Download the Silent Push Technical Add-on (TA) from SplunkBase.
- **Within Splunk**: Navigate to **Apps > Find More Apps**, search for Silent Push, and install.

## Configuration

### Account setup

1. Go to **Configuration > Account**.
2. Enter your **Silent Push API Key** and a unique **Account Name** (used only within the Splunk app).

### Proxy (optional)

For on-premises Splunk instances, configure a proxy for connecting to Silent Push for feed updates and lookups:

1. Navigate to **Configuration > Account**.
2. Specify proxy type (HTTP or SOCKS5), host, port, and credentials (if required).

### Inputs

Configure Silent Push feeds (IOFA or custom feeds) for ingestion:

1. Go to **Inputs > Create New Input**.
2. Provide:
  - **Name**: Unique feed name in Splunk.
  - **Silent Push account**: Select the configured account.
  - **Index**: Optional; specify if Collection Type is set to index.
  - **Interval**: Feed download interval (in seconds).
  - **Threat intelligence type**: Set to Feed (Filter Profile for legacy customers).
  - **Source UUID**: Copy the feed's UUID from the Silent Push URL (filter by Feed Name).

### Correlation settings

Customize how Silent Push indicators match Splunk event data:

1. Navigate to **Configuration > Correlation Settings**.
2. Configure:
  - **Enabled indicator types**: Select indicator types for correlation.
  - **Search matching algorithm**: Choose based on your data ingestion method:
  - **Raw search**: Matches fields directly; ideal for custom or non-CIM-compliant data.
  - **IP/Domain target query**: Splunk queries to retrieve events for IP or domain correlation.
  - **IP/Domain target fields**: Event fields to match against IP or domain indicators.
  - **Data model search**: Matches against CIM data models for faster performance with normalized data.
  - **Select datamodels**: Choose CIM data models (if Data Model Search is selected).

> **Tip**: Raw Search offers flexibility; Data Model Search provides faster performance with normalized data.

### Logging

Set the app’s logging level:

1. Go to **Configuration > Logging**.
2. Select a log level: **DEBUG**, **INFO** (default), **WARNING**, or **ERROR**.
3. Logs are stored at: `$SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/ta_silent_push_*.log`.

### Dashboards

The Silent Push app includes dashboards for:

- **Indicators overview**: Track collected indicators over time.
- **Correlation** **overview:** Monitor matches between Silent Push feeds and Splunk events.
- **Enrichment**: Perform real-time lookup using the Silent Push API.
- **Reputation**: Explore reputation data for IPs, ASNs, nameservers, and subnets.
- **PADNS**: Investigate domains via forward/reverse lookups, density lookups, and ASNs associations.
- **Explore web data**: Conduct live URL scans, capture screenshots, and search web scan data.

## Lookups, saved searches, and custom commands

### Lookups

`silent_push_indicators_enrichment_domain`: Domain enrichment data.

`silent_push_indicators_enrichment_ip`: IPv4/IPv6 enrichment data.

`silent_push_matched_indicators_domain`: Correlated domain indicators.

`silent_push_matched_indicators_ip`: Correlated IP indicators.

### Saved Searches

Scheduled searches (detailed in the app's README.md) support:

- Updating enrichment and correlation lookups.
- Matching Splunk events with Silent Push indicators.
- Generating notable events (with Splunk ES).

### Custom Commands

Custom commands (listed in the app’s README.md) enable:

- On-demand correlation with Silent Push feeds.
- Account usage queries.
- PADNS lookups and web scans.
- Enrichment for domains, IPs, subnets, and URLs.
