esm2markdown
This python script is intended to be used to automatically generate use case / correlation rule documentation in Markdown format for the McAfee Enterprise Sceurity Manager (ESM). It accepts a XML file that has been exported from the correlation rule editor of the ESM, converts its contents to Markdown format and writes it into a new file. If you need any other format, you might want to use pandoc to convert to e.g. pdf, docx or HTML.
Requirements
This tool requires the following:
- Python 3
- lxml (XML parser that understands CDATA)
- networkx (needed for creating graphs)
- pydot (needed for creating graphs)
- pandoc (for converting to other formats than Markdown)
On Debian you can install the dependencies with "sudo apt-get install python3-lxml python3-networkxi python3-pydot"
Usage
Please configure esm2markdown.ini to your liking and execute esm2markdown.py like this:
# python esm2markdown.py <rule xml file> <markdown output file>
Example
Convert xml to Markdown
# python esm2markdown demo.xml demo.mk
Convert to Markdown to DOCX
# pandoc -s demo.mk -o demo.docx
In the end, the result should look like this shortened output:
