Open Source Windows Network Monitoring Software

Osquery is an operating system instrumentation framework for Windows, OS X (macOS), Linux, and FreeBSD. The tools make low-level operating system analytics and monitoring both performant and intuitive. Osquery exposes an operating system as a high-performance relational database. This allows you to write SQL queries to explore operating system data. With osquery, SQL tables represent abstract concepts such as running processes, loaded kernel modules, open network connections, browser plugins, hardware events or file hashes.Osquery queries your devices like a database. Osquery uses basic SQL commands to leverage a relational data-model to describe a device. Frequently, attackers will leave a malicious process running but delete the original binary on disk. This query returns any process whose original binary has been deleted, which could be an indicator of a suspicious process.

ATTENTION: Snare Lite is unsupported legacy software. While it will remain a part of the SourceForge community, it is no longer secure and compliant. For up to date Snare software check out Snare Enterprise. https://www.snaresolutions.com/try-snare-for-free/ Snare Enterprise was created to keep up with the fast paced security software market. It started with the desire to create premium logging and SIEM tools that were agnostic by nature so they could be used to boost any SIEM architecture regardless of third party developers. In fact, the agnostic nature allows it to bridge gaps between multiple SIEM implementations across business units. For more on use cases, check out the Intersect Alliance website. https://www.snaresolutions.com/ Snare Enterprise’s premium features include: - Regulatory Compliance - TLS Encryption - Log Simulcasting - TCP – Guaranteed Log Delivery - USB Device Monitoring - And more!
