Parse Cisco Secure Firewall (Firepower) FMC and FDM management exports into the shared firewall schema. Use when input is JSON from the FMC or FDM REST API or an FDM configexport bundle and contains accessPolicy, accessrules, securityZones, prefilterpolicies, intrusionPolicy, filePolicy, variableSet, ftdnatpolicies, applicationFilters, or urlCategories, including audit, conversion, diff, summary, and explanation tasks. For ASA-style LINA running-config text such as access-list, nameif, or…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

## Overview

Use this skill to parse Cisco Secure Firewall (Firepower) FMC and FDM management exports into the shared vendor-neutral firewall intermediate schema. It focuses on JSON from the FMC or FDM REST API, including access control policies, prefilter policies, NAT policies, security zones, intrusion policies, file policies, network and service objects, and application filters.

This parser owns FMC and FDM JSON exports. For ASA-style LINA running-config text (such as `access-list`, `nameif`, `object network`), hand off to `parsing-cisco-configs` instead.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mechubsec/fwskillsshare/parsing-firepower-configs@sha256:4ce99fceeed14c04

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
