The ToolInformationType is intended to characterize the properties of a hardware or software tool, including those related to instances of its use. It is extended from an identically-named type in CybOX and adds standard STIX descriptive fields.
| Field Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| @idoptional | QName |
The id field specifies a unique ID for this Tool. |
| @idrefoptional | QName |
The idref field specifies reference to a unique ID for this Tool. When idref is specified, the id attribute must not be specified, and any instance of this type should not hold content unless an extension of the type allows it. |
| Name0..1 | string |
This field contains the name of the tool leveraged. |
| Type0..n | ControlledVocabularyStringType |
This field contains the type of the tool leveraged. This field is implemented through the xsi:type controlled vocabulary extension mechanism. No default vocabulary type has been defined for CybOX 2.0. Users may either define their own vocabulary using the type extension mechanism (by specifying a vocabulary name and/or reference using the vocab_name and vocab_reference attributes, respectively) or simply use this as a free string field. Additionally, locations where the ToolInformationType is used may define default vocabularies for this field. |
| Description0..1 | StructuredTextType |
This field contains general descriptive information for this tool. |
| References0..1 | ToolReferencesType |
This field contains references to instances or additional information for this tool. |
| Vendor0..1 | string |
This field contains information identifying the vendor organization for this tool. |
| Version0..1 | string |
This field contains an appropriate version descriptor of this tool. |
| Service_Pack0..1 | string |
This field contains an appropriate service pack descriptor for this tool. |
| Tool_Specific_Data0..1 | ToolSpecificDataType |
This is an abstract type provided to a flexible mechanism for enabling tool-specific data to be included. |
| Tool_Hashes0..1 | HashListType |
This field contains a hash value computed on the tool file content in order to verify its integrity. |
| Tool_Configuration0..1 | ToolConfigurationType |
This field contains information describing the configuration and usage of the tool. |
| Execution_Environment0..1 | ExecutionEnvironmentType |
This field contains information describing the execution environment of the tool. |
| Errors0..1 | ErrorsType |
This field captures any errors generated during the run of the tool. |
| Metadata0..n | MetadataType |
This field captures other relevant metadata including tool-specific fields. |
| Compensation_Model0..1 | CompensationModelType |
This field contains the name of the compensation model used for the tool. |
| Title0..1 | string |
The Title field provides a simple title for a single tool leveraged by this TTP item. |
| Short_Description0..1 | StructuredTextType |
The Short_Description field is optional and provides a short, unstructured, text description of a single tool leveraged by this TTP item. |
