Cannot download threat info through neither docker's "bootstrap" nor "build_bron.py" manually. about bron HOT 6 OPEN

This seems to be a network connection error when downloading threat data. Hopefully it will work if you try again.
You can check if the URL hosting the MITRE ATT&CK enterprise matrix data is accessible by e.g. pasting this URL in your browser https://github.com/mitre/cti/raw/master/enterprise-attack/enterprise-attack.json (This is the ENTERPRISE_ATTACK_URL in download_threat_information/download_threat_data.py )

Thank you for your reply! Actually, after several times of network check and retry, I still cannot run the open source code. However, I did find another way to construct the BRON cybersecurity graph, that is to download all the "COLLECTIONS" json files from your open ArangoDB web page (http://bron.alfa.csail.mit.edu:8529) one by one manually, and then upload them to my local ArangoDB with types and relationships obtained from your "BRONGraph".
Now I am wondering if this method can achieve the same effect as running your open source code? Can my local graph be useful for subsequent experiments?

Yes, they are the end result of running the build_bron.py.

• You can import these collections to your own ArangoDb instance.
• We have also sometimes use the json files directly to do analysis on as well.

I was able to download the thread data by placing the build_bron.py file outside the tutorials folder. But the data got downloaded only after 3-4 tries.

• I would first check if there is a network connection error when downloading threat data.

  • E.g. You can check if the URL hosting the data is accessible by pasting the URLs it tries to connect to e.g.

    BRON/download_threat_information/download_threat_data.py

    CAPEC_XML_URL = "http://capec.mitre.org/data/xml/capec_latest.xml"

• Do you have any details of where it failed?

from bron.

No I don't have details of where it failed because I downloaded these files 2-3 months back
