About osquery
osquery, developed at Facebook, exposes an operating system as a high-performance relational database. This allows you to write SQL queries to explore operating system data - running processes, loaded kernel modules, open network connections, browser plugins, hardware events, file hashes, and hundreds of other system attributes are all available as SQL tables. For security teams, this means you can query your fleet in real-time: 'SELECT * FROM processes WHERE name LIKE \'%miner%\'' finds cryptominers, 'SELECT * FROM listening_ports WHERE port = 4444' finds suspicious listeners. osquery supports scheduled queries that log differential changes over time, making it powerful for continuous security monitoring and compliance verification. It runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD, and integrates with fleet management tools like Fleet (formerly Kolide) for centralized querying and alerting across thousands of endpoints.
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.
