STIX Document Validator (sdv) BETA

A python tool used to validate STIX v1.0 instance documents. For more information about the Structured Thread Information eXpression, see http://stix.mitre.org.

Dependencies

The STIX Document Validator has the following dependencies:

• Python v2.7 http://python.org/download
• lxml >= v3.2.0 http://lxml.de/index.html#download
  • libxml2 >= v2.9.1 http://www.xmlsoft.org/downloads.html

NOTE: Older versions of libxml2 do not work properly and may result in undesirable behavior. To see what version of libxml2 you have installed, execute the xml2-config --version command and make sure you are running at least v2.9.1.

Use

The STIX Document Validator can validate a STIX v1.0 instance document against STIX v1.0 schemas found locally or referenced remotely through the schemaLocation attribute. It can also perform some 'best practice' guidance checks.

Validate against local schemas: python sdv.py --input-file <stix_document.xml> --schema-dir schema

Validate using schemaLocation: python sdv.py --input-file <stix_document.xml> --use-schemaloc

Validate a directory of STIX documents: python sdv.py --input-dir <stix_dir> --schema-dir schema

Check 'best practice' guidance python sdv.py --input-file <stix_document.xml> --schema-dir schema --best-practices

All STIX Documents?

The STIX Document Validator bundles a schema directory with it, which includes all STIX v1.0 schema files. If an instance document uses constructs or languages defined by other schemas a user must point the STIX Document Validator at those schemas in order to validate.
