Using Timesketch for timeline analysis? We recently added a new feature: LLM summaries of up to 500 events in view. Example below uses Gemini Flash, but you can just as easily use a local Ollama model. Setup guide: timesketch.org/guides/user/...

Great stuff from @tomchop.me! Memory analysis and Yara support in #OpenRelik

I had a look at #OpenRelik last year and wrote a couple workers that might be useful:

* github.com/tomchop/open...: Scan memory images using @volatilityfoundation.org plugins. Supports Yara rules
* github.com/tomchop/open... - Run Yara rules on a directory. Supports third-party systems like #Yeti!

New #OpenRelik release. Task metrics (queue length, completion, failures etc) & new Prometheus exporter. Plus, a new task dashboard for deep dives into task performance.

This is also the reason I never talk publicly about my dog, any favorite foods, or the season we were in < 3 months ago

Probably the most riveting incident report I've read in a long time. I would've so much liked to be part of this investigation!

Kudos to @volexity.com for going into so much detail on this novel network attack technique.

if you have a @github.com profile, can i ask you to update it with your @bsky.app handle? 🙏

👉 it enables some very cool integrations, like auto curated feeds and starter packs for contributors and tech

There's probably less content than there was on twitter in 2012, but this already feels much nicer and relevant than what X is right now.

Amazing, thanks! skyfeed.app offers a (less polished, more hacky) similar interface but also allows you to create custom feeds

Thinking of coming up with a Bluesky #DFIR Starter Pack with @the4711.org... who should we include?

I'm watching some folks reverse engineer the xz backdoor, sharing some *preliminary* analysis with permission.

The hooked RSA_public_decrypt verifies a signature on the server's host key by a fixed Ed448 key, and then passes a payload to system().

It's RCE, not auth bypass, and gated/unreplayable.

Yes, for sure. Otherwise does the project even exist?? I tried briefly playing a bit with Dall-E but didn't get any satisfying results :(

We are looking forward to integrating formats such as dfiq.org, shipping tighter integrations with DFIR platform tools like timesketch.org, turbinia.plumbing, and misp-project.org!

Please feel free to use (and tell us when you do! we love hearing about people's use-cases), file lots of bugs, and feel free to contribute: guides, documentation, even cool screenshots, everything is welcome.

The changes in the codebase have been massive (remember, it's only 2 people working on this): 480 commits to the API server. 139 commits to the frontend SPA.

This version marks the start of a focus shift away from classic CTI and towards a platform for DFIR teams wishing to integrate CTI in their pipelines for incident response, threat hunting, and detection, and to be able to collate "forensics intelligence" to share with other teams

This has been years in the making, literally. @Sebdraven and I are happy to announce the release of #Yeti 2.0 (after we promised an EOM release at @hack_lu last month)
