# Introduction

**IntelMQ** is a solution for IT security teams (CERTs & CSIRTs, SOCs
abuse departments, etc.) for collecting and processing security feeds
(such as log files) using a message queuing protocol. It's a community
driven initiative called **IHAP**[^1] (Incident Handling Automation Project)
which was conceptually designed by European CERTs/CSIRTs during several
InfoSec events. Its main goal is to give to incident responders an easy
way to collect & process threat intelligence thus improving the incident
handling processes of CERTs.

IntelMQ is frequently used for:

- automated incident handling
- situational awareness
- automated notifications
- as data collector for other tools
- and more!

The design was influenced by
[AbuseHelper](https://github.com/abusesa/abusehelper) however it was
re-written from scratch and aims at:

- Reducing the complexity of system administration
- Reducing the complexity of writing new bots for new data feeds
- Reducing the probability of events lost in all process with persistence functionality (even system crash)
- Use and improve the existing Data Harmonization Ontology
- Use JSON format for all messages
- Provide easy way to store data into databases and log collectors such as PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch and Splunk
- Provide easy way to create your own black-lists
- Provide easy communication with other systems via HTTP RESTful API

It follows the following basic meta-guidelines:

- Don't break simplicity - KISS
- Keep it open source - forever
- Strive for perfection while keeping a deadline
- Reduce complexity/avoid feature bloat
- Embrace unit testing
- Code readability: test with inexperienced programmers
- Communicate clearly
