# layers

This folder contains modules and scripts for working with ATT&CK Navigator layers. "ATT&CK Navigator Layers are a set of annotations overlayed on top of the ATT&CK Matrix. For more about ATT&CK Navigator layers, visit the ATT&CK Navigator repository. The core module allows users to load, validate, manipulate, and save ATT&CK layers. A brief overview of the components can be found below. All scripts adhere to the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator Layer file format, [version 3.0](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-navigator/blob/develop/layers/LAYERFORMATv3.md).

#### Core Modules
| script | description |
|:-------|:------------|
| [filter](core/filter.py) | Implements a basic [filter object](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-navigator/blob/develop/layers/LAYERFORMATv3.md#filter-object-properties). |
| [gradient](core/gradient.py) | Implements a basic [gradient object](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-navigator/blob/develop/layers/LAYERFORMATv3.md#gradient-object-properties). |
| [layer](core/layer.py) | Provides an interface for interacting with core module's layer representation. A further breakdown can be found in the corresponding section below. |
| [layout](core/layout.py) | Implements a basic [layout object](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-navigator/blob/develop/layers/LAYERFORMATv3.md#layout-object-properties). |
| [legenditem](core/legenditem.py) | Implements a basic [legenditem object](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-navigator/blob/develop/layers/LAYERFORMATv3.md#legenditem-object-properties). |
| [metadata](core/metadata.py) | Implements a basic [metadata object](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-navigator/blob/develop/layers/LAYERFORMATv3.md#metadata-object-properties). |
| [technique](core/technique.py) | Implements a basic [technique object](https://github.com/mitre-attack/attack-navigator/blob/develop/layers/LAYERFORMATv3.md#technique-object-properties). |

#### Manipulator Scripts
| script | description |
|:-------|:------------|
| [layerops](manipulators/layerops.py) | Provides a means by which to combine multiple ATT&CK layer objects in customized ways. A further breakdown can be found in the corresponding section below. |

## Layer
The Layer class provides format validation and read/write capabilities to aid in working with ATT&CK Navigator Layers in python. It is the primary interface through which other Layer-related classes defined in the core module should be used. The Layer class API and a usage example are below.

| method [x = Layer()]| description |
|:-------|:------------|
| x.from_str(_input_) | Loads an ATT&CK layer from a string representation of a json layer. |
| x.from_dict(_input_) | Loads an ATT&CK layer from a dictionary. |
| x.from_file(_filepath_) | Loads an ATT&CK layer from a file location specified by the _filepath_. |
| x.to_file(_filepath_) | Saves the current state of the loaded ATT&CK layer to a json file denoted by the _filepath_. |
| x.to_dict() | Returns a representation of the current ATT&CK layer object as a dictionary. |
| x.to_str() | Returns a representation of the current ATT&CK layer object as a string representation of a dictionary. |

#### Example Usage

```python
example_layer_dict = {
"name": "example layer",
"version": "3.0",
"domain": "mitre-enterprise"
}

example_layer_location = "/path/to/layer/file.json"
example_layer_out_location = "/path/to/new/layer/file.json"

from layers.core import Layer

layer1 = Layer(example_layer_dict) # Create a new layer and load existing data
layer1.to_file(example_layer_out_location) # Write out the loaded layer to the specified file

layer2 = Layer() # Create a new layer object
layer2.from_dict(example_layer_dict) # Load layer data into existing layer object
print(layer2.to_dict()) # Retrieve the loaded layer's data as a dictionary, and print it

layer3 = Layer() # Create a new layer object
layer3.from_file(example_layer_location) # Load layer data from a file into existing layer object
```

## layerops.py
Layerops.py provides the LayerOps class, which is a way to combine layer files in an automated way, using user defined lambda functions. Each LayerOps instance, when created, ingests the provided lambda functions, and stores them for use. An existing LayerOps class can be used to combine layer files according to the initialized lambda using the process method. The breakdown of this two step process is documented in the table below, while examples of both the list and dictionary modes of operation can be found below.

##### LayerOps()
```python
x = LayerOps(score=score, comment=comment, enabled=enabled, colors=colors, metadata=metadata, name=name, desc=desc, default_values=default_values)
```

Each of the _inputs_ takes a lambda function that will be used to combine technique object fields matching the parameter. The one exception to this is _default_values_, which is an optional dictionary argument containing default values to provide the lambda functions if techniques of the combined layers are missing them.

##### .process() Method
```python
x.process(data, default_values=default_values)
```
The process method applies the lambda functions stored during initialization to the layer objects in _data_. _data_ must be either a list or a dictionary of Layer objects, and is expected to match the format of the lambda equations provided during initialization. default_values is an optional dictionary argument that overrides the currently stored default
values with new ones for this specific processing operation.

#### Example Usage
```python
from layers.manipulators.layerops import LayerOps
from layers.core.layer import Layer

This doesn't seem to work for me:

$ python3

>>> from layers.core.layer import Layer
>>> from layers.manipulators.layerops import LayerOps
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/isabel/working/temp/attack-scripts/layers/manipulators/layerops.py", line 23, in <module>
    from layers.core import Layer
ImportError: cannot import name 'Layer' from 'layers.core' (unknown location)
>>>

Changing the import at the beginning of the layerops script to from layers.core.layer import Layer seems to fix the issue, but it assumes the working directory is the root of this repo. If I'm running from the layers folder and run from manipulators.layerops import LayerOps, the absolute import breaks.

I'm not sure what the best practice is with this — a relative import, or just tell the user to always import from the repo root folder? If the latter, please specify where this is being run from in the example as well as putting towards the top of the file "all scripts should be imported and run from the root folder of this repository."

Long term if this is going to become a pip package this probably needs to be relative. Not sure if it's worth doing now.

It was, I just failed to notice that the updated init.py wasn't included in the update for some reason. I've fixed this, and it appears to work properly from wherever now.

# Example 3) Build a LayerOps object that takes a single element dictionary and inverts the score
lo3 = LayerOps(score=lambda x: 100 - x['a'],
desc= lambda x: "This is a simple example") # Build LayerOps object to invert score (0-100 scale)
out_layer5 = lo3.process({'a': demo}) # Trigger processing on dictionary of demo
print(out_layer5.to_dict()) # Display processed layer in dictionary form
out_layer5.to_file("C:\demo_layer5.json") # Save inverted score layer to file

# Example 4) Build a LayerOps object that combines the comments from elements in the list, with custom defaults
lo4 = LayerOps(score=lambda x: '; '.join(x),
default_values= {
"comment": "This was an example of new default values"
},
