Open-source alternatives to Linux Explorer

Velociraptor is a digital forensics and incident response platform, endpoint detection and response system, and visibility tool. It provides a query engine and remote forensic collector used to hunt for indicators of compromise and perform triage across a fleet of hosts. The system is distinguished by its specialized query language for interrogating host state and parsing binary files. It features a notebook environment that combines markdown documentation with executable query cells to standardize investigative workflows and enable collaborative reporting. The platform covers a wide range o

pcileech is a toolkit for executing DMA attacks, analyzing PCIe bus traffic, performing kernel patching, and conducting remote volatile memory forensics. It functions as a hardware memory acquisition tool and a PCIe DMA attack framework designed to read and write remote system memory via direct hardware interfaces. The project provides capabilities for capturing and displaying raw transaction layer packets from the PCIe bus and mounting live RAM as local drives for analysis. It enables the modification of system memory signatures and the execution of shellcode or implants within the kernel wi

APT-Hunter is Threat Hunting tool for windows event logs which made by purple team mindset to provide detect APT movements hidden in the sea of windows event logs to decrease the time to uncover suspicious activity

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

Avilla Forensics is a free mobile forensic tool created in February 2021 to assist investigators in collecting information and evidence from mobile devices. Developed by Daniel Avilla, a police officer from São Paulo, the tool provides powerful features for logical data extraction and backup…

RdpCacheStitcher is a tool that supports forensic analysts in reconstructing useful images out of RDP cache bitmaps. Using raw RDP cache tile bitmaps extracted by tools like e.g. ANSSI's BMC-Tools (https://github.com/ANSSI-FR/bmc-tools) as input, it provides a graphical user interface and…

Inception is a physical memory manipulation and hacking tool exploiting PCI-based DMA. The tool can attack over FireWire, Thunderbolt, ExpressCard, PC Card and any other PCI/PCIe interfaces.

BeaconEye scans running processes for active CobaltStrike beacons. When processes are found to be running beacon, BeaconEye will monitor each process for C2 activity.

A tool collection for filtering and visualizing logon events. Designed to help answering the "Cotton Eye Joe" question (Where did you come from where did you go) in Security Incidents and Threat Hunts

Google Chrome forensic tool

Tetragon is an eBPF-based runtime security and observability toolset designed for Linux and Kubernetes environments. It functions as a security policy manager, observability agent, and enforcement engine that hooks into kernel functions and tracepoints to detect privilege escalation, container escapes, and unauthorized system activity. The project distinguishes itself through its ability to perform real-time, in-kernel enforcement, allowing it to synchronously terminate malicious processes or modify function return values before a system call completes. It provides deep Kubernetes integration

A DFIR tool written in Python.

Forensics acquisition framework designed to be extensible and secure

OpenEDR is an endpoint detection and response platform designed to collect telemetry and monitor system activity to identify security breaches. It functions as a host-based intrusion detection system and telemetry collector, gathering detailed data on process, network, and file activity. The system includes a dockerized security stack that bundles search, logging, and visualization tools into containers for analyzing endpoint telemetry. It features a security event visualizer that maps process lineage and indexes logs to facilitate root-cause analysis of attacks. The platform provides capabi
