AlienVault

AlienVault is the security company behind the Open Threat Exchange (OTX), one of the largest open threat-intelligence communities in the world. OTX lets security practitioners and researchers create and share "pulses" — curated collections of indicators of compromise (IOCs) such as malicious IPs, domains, hostnames, URLs, file hashes, and CVEs — and consume that shared intelligence to automatically update their defensive infrastructure. The OTX DirectConnect API provides programmatic access to subscribed pulses, indicator detail lookups across multiple facets (general, geo, malware, passive DNS, reputation, URL lists), pulse and user search, and indicator submission for analysis. Authentication is via an X-OTX-API-KEY header. AlienVault was acquired by AT&T in 2018, becoming AT&T Cybersecurity, and OTX now operates under the LevelBlue brand. An official Python SDK (OTXv2) is published on PyPI and GitHub.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile AlienVault

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for AlienVault. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 4

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

AlienVault Indicators API

Indicator of compromise detail lookups and submission

AlienVault Pulses API

Threat pulses (curated indicator collections)

AlienVault Search API

Search across pulses and users

AlienVault Users API

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
