Fibratus
๐ฌ Digital Forensics ยท Go
Fibratus is a tool for exploration and tracing of the Windows kernel via Event Tracing for Windows (ETW). It captures process creation/termination, thread activity, file system operations, registry modifications, network connections, DLL loads, and driver events in real-time. Fibratus includes a rule engine for detecting suspicious behavior patterns (fileless malware indicators, persistence mechanisms, credential access). Events can be filtered with a powerful expression language and forwarded to Elasticsearch, AMQP, or console output. It provides deep kernel-level visibility for threat hunting, incident response, and understanding system behavior during malware detonation.
Installation
$ choco install fibratusUse Cases
- Real-time Windows kernel event monitoring
- Threat hunting via behavioral detection rules
