ToolInformationTypeSTIX Common Schema

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.


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.

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
