Configure ReversingLabs TAXII Feeds in OpenCTI

ReversingLabs publishes its threat intelligence feeds over TAXII (Trusted Automated Exchange of Intelligence Information), which OpenCTI ingests natively as a TAXII feed connector. Indicators arrive in STIX format and cover malware families, ransomware, attack patterns, and threat actor intelligence.

You need valid ReversingLabs API credentials, the TAXII server URL, and the collection ID for the feed you're subscribing to. This page walks through adding the feed in OpenCTI, configuring its settings, and confirming that indicators are being ingested.

Add a new feed

  1. From the menu bar, select Data > Ingestion
  2. In the Ingestion menu, click TAXII Feeds
  3. Click the + button to begin configuring the feed
