About

The ContactDB project was initiated to cover the need for a tool to maintain contacts for CSIRT teams. The first POC was designed based on specification of a few CERT team including CERT.at, CIRCL, CERT.pt and CERT.be.

(Expected) Features

• Secure implementation
• Easy and modular web interface
• Integration with 3rd party tools like AbuseHelper
• Support for GPG public key storage
• Delegation (an organisation can keep his contact info up-to-date)
• ...

How to get the source code

You can get the source code at

$ git clone git@github.com:certtools/contactdb.git

The private version is available at:

$ git clone git@git.lo-res.org:/home/git/contactdb.git

Note: the private repo contains importers and data which is not public at the moment. That's why we have a private repo as well. The source code is the same however.

If you want to make some changes do it like this:

$ git clone git@github.com:certtools/contactdb.git
$ vim README.rst
$ git commit -am 'fix for the README file'
$ git push origin master

In case it does not work, contact aaron@lo-res.org

Starting the contactdb

First read the INSTALL.rst file and follow the instructions.

# Here is how to start the contactdb:

export CONTACTDB_HOME=$(pwd)
mkdir $CONTACTDB_HOME/.gnupg/ && chmod 700 $CONTACTDB_HOME/.gnupg
echo export CONTACTDB_HOME=$(pwd) >> ./virtenv/bin/activate
echo export GNUPGHOME=$(pwd)/.gnupg >> ./virtenv/bin/activate

. ./virtenv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade

python ./manage.py syncdb
