Rapid7 InsightAppSec Threadfix Integration

This integration is a Golang based utility used for extracting, transforming, and pushing Rapid7 InsightAppSec Dynamic Application Security scan data into Threadfix for correlation of scan results between multiple application security tools.

If you are already an end user of InsightAppSec and Threadfix, releases for this integration can be found here and Getting Started documentation is available here.

Key features include:

• Imports InsightAppSec scan data into Threadfix
• Provides simple command line interface (CLI) walkthrough for configuration
• Offers flexible configuration for effectively filtering InsightAppSec data

Getting Started and Documentation

All documentation for end users to get started with the integration can be found here. For more information about InsightAppSec, please visit the Product Page.

Development Experience

If you would like to contribute to this project, you'll first need to install Go on your machine. Note: this utility was built with Go version 1.13.4 and will continue to be maintained with the latest version of Go moving forward.

Development Environment Setup

After downloading the proper Go package or using your preferred package management tool, ensure your GOPATH has been defined properly and that $GOPATH/bin is in your path:

export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

This utility utilized Go modules and it is highly recommended to clone this repository outside of your GOPATH.

Running from Command-line

Prior to starting, ensure go run main.go configure is run to setup the local configuration for the utility. It is also manually configurable at config/settings.yml; however, use of the configure command will ensure API keys are encrypted for storage.

AdHoc Execution

Once configured, it is possible to initiate a onetime execution with the adhoc flag:

> go run main.go --adhoc

This will read the configurations as defined in settings.yml and process any scans that match the configurations. Once complete, the utility will stop until initiated again. The adhoc flag is very beneficial for one-off imports or during development and testing.

Run Integration on a Schedule

In addition, it is possible to run the integration with an internal cron schedule. This can be accomplished by running the utility without any flags at all:

> go run main.go

Utility Options

All utility options can be listed with the use of the --help flag:

> go run main.go --help
This application is an integration between Rapid7 InsightAppSec and Threadfix. It automates the generation 
and formatting of findings from InsightAppSec scans and then imports them into Threadfix. Once imported, scans and
findings can be correlated with other application security feeds and searched within the Threadfix management 
platform

Usage:
  rapid7-insightappsec-threadfix [flags]
  rapid7-insightappsec-threadfix [command]

Available Commands:
  configure   Configure the Rapid7 InsightAppSec Threadfix integration
  help        Help about any command
  version     Version of integration

Flags:
  -a, --adhoc           Adhoc run of integration without the use of scheduling
      --config string   config file (default is ./config/settings.yaml)
  -h, --help            help for rapid7-insightappsec-threadfix

Use "rapid7-insightappsec-threadfix [command] --help" for more information about a command.

Building Integration Binary

This project uses Goreleaser - a build and release utility for Golang modules - for building and packaging it for use. It uses .goreleaser.yml configuration file to dictate the build and release options when compiling a Golang application. To use you must first install goreleaser. This can be accomplished on macOS with:

> brew install goreleaser/tap/goreleaser

Once installed, the following command will compile and package the environment specific binary while skipping release to Github or other repositories:

> goreleaser release --skip-publish

The generated artifacts will exist for 64-bit binaries for Windows and Linux in their respective directories:

> ls dist/ | grep 'insightappsec-threadfix'
insightappsec-threadfix_linux_amd64
insightappsec-threadfix_windows_amd64
rapid7-insightappsec-threadfix.exe_0.1.0_Windows_64-bit.zip
rapid7-insightappsec-threadfix_0.1.0_Linux_64-bit.tar.gz

Github Action for Automated Release

To trigger the included GitHub Action as part of the project, simply create a tag following semver (eg. v1.0.0). Once the tag is created, the action will be triggered and the release with accompanying Windows and Linux packages will be attached as release artifacts.
