The system distinguishes itself through a cross-platform abstraction layer that normalizes disparate operating system interfaces into a consistent schema across Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports both interactive local analysis via a command-line shell and distributed fleet orchestration, where recurring qu

Digital Forensics Investigation Platform

Autopsy is a digital forensic analysis platform and evidence management suite used to process disk images and file systems. It provides a graphical interface for performing deep forensic examinations of computer hard drives to identify and extract digital artifacts for investigations. The platform is built as a Java-based forensic framework that integrates native libraries to perform direct disk image analysis. It utilizes a modular architecture, allowing for the extension of data ingestion and report generation through the use of plugins. The system manages digital evidence within a central

Emergency-Response-Notes is a collection of technical reference documentation and playbooks used for performing forensic analysis, incident response, intrusion identification, and malware remediation. It serves as an incident response knowledge base and an intrusion analysis framework to help identify web shells, hidden backdoors, and persistence mechanisms used during security attacks. The project utilizes a case-study-based knowledge base to map real-world attack scenarios to specific mitigation and recovery steps. It provides a digital forensics playbook and a malware remediation guide for

Dispatch is an incident response orchestration platform that automates the coordination of detection, participant assembly, and task tracking across existing communication and project management tools. It provides a web-configurable state machine to manage incident lifecycle transitions, with template-driven incident models that define types, priorities, and severity levels. The platform enforces role-based access control to map user roles to specific actions and data access, while maintaining a database-backed audit trail of all incident events and system changes for compliance and post-incid

Tracee is a cloud-native runtime security and forensics tool that uses eBPF to capture system calls and kernel events in real time. It operates as a standalone binary or a Helm-deployable agent for Kubernetes, normalizing system calls, network events, and container activities into a unified event pipeline for consistent analysis. The tool distinguishes itself through policy-driven event filtering using YAML-based rules, allowing users to target specific workloads and reduce noise during monitoring. It includes built-in threat detection signatures that flag suspicious behavioral patterns witho

MemProcFS is a volatile memory analysis tool and cross-platform memory acquisition system. It functions as a memory forensic virtual file system, mapping physical memory and kernel objects into a virtual directory structure that allows users to analyze system artifacts using standard file system tools. The project distinguishes itself by providing a virtual file system for memory forensics, enabling the browsing and querying of physical memory as read-only files and folders. It also incorporates a Yara-based memory scanner to identify malware signatures and injected code within physical memor

Volatility is a memory forensics framework and digital forensics tool designed to extract and analyze evidence from volatile computer memory dumps. It functions as a memory dump parser and analysis platform used to identify running processes, network connections, and loaded modules from a system RAM capture. The framework enables the reconstruction of system state to uncover malicious activity, such as rootkits and injected code, during malware incident response and threat hunting. It provides capabilities for digital forensic investigations to detect unauthorized access and indicators of com

Digital Forensics artifact repository

Collaborative forensic timeline analysis

This repository contains the configuration and support files for the SOF-ELK® VM Appliance.

LogonTracer is a security auditing tool designed for logon analysis and forensic log auditing. It functions as a dockerized security auditor that utilizes a security event graph database to map account names and network addresses, allowing for the visualization of complex system compromise patterns and authentication paths. The system features a Sigma detection engine that scans imported event logs against standardized rule sets to identify known malicious activity. It also includes an anomalous behavior detector that applies statistical analysis, graph algorithms, and hidden Markov models to

LiME (formerly DMD) is a Loadable Kernel Module (LKM), which allows the acquisition of volatile memory from Linux and Linux-based devices, such as those powered by Android. The tool supports acquiring memory either to the file system of the device or over the network. LiME is unique in that it is the first tool that allows full memory captures from Android devices. It also minimizes its interaction between user and kernel space processes during acquisition, which allows it to produce memory captures that are more forensically sound than those of other tools designed for Linux memory acquisitio

CimSweep is a suite of CIM/WMI-based tools that enable the ability to perform incident response and hunting operations remotely across all versions of Windows.
