XML::IODEF::Simple - Perl extension for easier IODEF message generation

This module makes it a bit simpler to crank out XML+IODEF messages. It uses what it finds under XML/IODEF/Simple/Plugin/ to adapt "defaults" to the keypairs it takes in. To allow for other default settings / manipulations, create XML::IODEF::Simple::Plugin::MyPlugin and Module::Pluggable will pick it up on the fly. See XML::IODEF::Simple::Plugin::Ipv4 as an example.
This module takes into account some of the work done with the Collective Intelligence Framework. It makes assumptions about severity based on the impact given. Up to date documentation surrounding this taxonomy can be found at http://code.google.com/p/collective-intelligence-framework/wiki/Taxonomy
To enhance the exchange of XML::IODEF based messages, the 'sharewith' and 'guid' tags have been added to IncidentAdditionalData
A comma-seperated or array value that denotes what other federations a derivative of this message may be shared with. These are usually denoted by a FQDN: grp1.example.com grp2.example.com leo.example.com
A simple FQDN used (in CIF) as a unix-style permission that denotes what groups within a federation can have access to this data. Groups are simple strings, in this example we use FQDN's to ensure unique-ness throughout a federation. Typically groups are hashed into v5 uuid's behind the scenes.
Typically a high-severity observation
Typically a medium-severity observation
Typcially a medium-severity observation
This module can be extended at run-time by adding plugins under XML::IODEF::Simple::Plugin (eg: XML::IODEF::Simple::Plugin::MyPlug). See the lib/XML/IODEF/Simple/Plugin directory or XML::IODEF::Simple::Plugin::TLP for more examples.
