Malcolm is a powerful suite of network analytics tools designed with network security in mind.
Although all open tools code που αποτελούν το Malcolm είναι ήδη διαθέσιμα και σε γενική χρήση, παρέχει ένα πλαίσιο διασύνδεσης που το καθιστά μεγαλύτερο από το άθροισμα των μερών του. Ενώ υπάρχουν πολλές άλλες λύσεις για ανάλυση δικτύου, για όλες τις διανομές Linux όπως το Security Onion έως productτα με άδεια όπως το Splunk Enterprise Security, οι δημιουργοί της Malcolm αισθάνονται αισιόδοξοι πως ο ισχυρός συνδυασμός εργαλείων του, γεμίζουν ένα κενό στον χώρο security of networks that will make network traffic analysis accessible to many in both the public and private sectors as well as individual users.
Specifications
- Easy to use- Malcolm receives packages (PCAP) and Zeek logs (formerly Bro). These items can be downloaded via a simple browser-based interface or recorded live and forwarded to. In both cases, the data are automatically normalized, enriched and correlated for analysis.
- Powerful network analyzer- Visibility in network communications is provided through two intuitive interfaces: Kibana, a flexible Plugin data visualization with dozens of predefined dashboards that provide a quick overview of network protocols. And Moloch, a powerful tool for finding and tracing network sessions that include suspicious security events.
- Improved growth- Malcolm acts as a Docker cluster, serving a specific system function. This Docker-based deployment model, combined with a few simple scripts for setting up and managing runtime, makes Malcolm suitable for fast deployment across platforms and applications, whether it is long-term deployment on a Linux server, a security function center (SOC) ) or to respond to events on a Macbook for individual use.
- Secure in communications All communications with Malcolm, both from the user interface and from remote logging forwarders, are secured with industry standard encryption protocols.
- Open source program Malcolm is made up of many well-known open source tools, making it an attractive alternative to security solutions that require paid licenses.
- Visibility of the control systemWhile Malcolm is ideal for general purpose network traffic analysis, its creators see a particular need in the community for tools that provide information about protocols used in industrial control systems (ICS) environments. The continued development of Malcolm aims to provide additional analyzers for common ICS protocols.
In short, Malcolm provides an easy-to-use suite of network analysis tools for complete packet collection (PCAP files) and Zeek logs. While internet access is required to create it, it is not required when running it.
