About KAPE
KAPE (Kroll Artifact Parser and Extractor) is a triage tool that finds and parses forensic artifacts in minutes. Developed by Eric Zimmerman at Kroll, it operates in two phases: collection targets gather specific files and artifacts from a system, while module processors parse those artifacts into human-readable formats. KAPE ships with hundreds of pre-built targets covering browser history, event logs, registry hives, prefetch files, SRUM data, scheduled tasks, and virtually every forensic artifact type on Windows. Its module system integrates with Eric Zimmerman's tools (LECmd, PECmd, MFTECmd, etc.) and community parsers to process collected data automatically. KAPE is designed for speed - it can collect and parse a full forensic triage from a live system in under 10 minutes, making it the go-to tool for rapid incident response triage.
About TheHive
TheHive is a scalable, open-source Security Incident Response Platform (SIRP) designed to make life easier for SOCs, CSIRTs, and CERTs dealing with security incidents that need to be investigated and acted upon. It provides collaborative case management where multiple analysts can work on the same case simultaneously, with full audit trails and task assignment. TheHive integrates tightly with Cortex for automated observable analysis (IP lookups, hash checks, domain reputation) and with MISP for threat intelligence sharing. Cases can be created from email alerts, SIEM events, or manually, and each case supports tasks, observables, and evidence attachments. Its template system and custom fields make it adaptable to any organization's incident response workflow.
