SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps analysts quickly make sense of EDR exports and Velociraptor collection ZIPs by extracting suspicious process, network, file, persistence, and timeline signals and translating them into investigation-ready leads.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Velociraptor ZIP triage: Extracts and inventories JSON/JSONL artifacts, then derives process lists, suspicious process paths, external network connections, persistence indicators, event-log inventory, file timelines, and suspicious DLL loads.
  • EDR export normalization: Applies vendor-specific field mapping for CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and supports CSV/JSON variants to produce consistent hunt outputs.
  • Process-chain reconstruction: Rebuilds parent-child process chains from EDR telemetry to identify initial entry points and escalation patterns.
  • ATT&CK-aligned finding recognition & pivoting: Detects common live-hunt patterns (staging execution, Office-to-shell chains, C2 connections, scheduled task/run-key persistence, orphaned processes, DLL sideloading patterns, and lsass access) and provides escalation guidance to the Investigation Section Chief (ISC) for confirmation and further domain skills.

Quick Start

Use the EDR Telemetry & Live Hunt Collections skill to analyze a case’s Velociraptor or vendor EDR export and produce process trees, external connection lists, persistence artifacts, timelines, and escalation-ready findings.

Frequently Asked Questions about EDR Telemetry & Live Hunt Collections

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I normalize EDR exports from CrowdStrike and SentinelOne for threat hunting?

To reconstruct parent-child process chains from EDR telemetry, analyze the exported JSON or CSV telemetry to identify initial entry points and escalation patterns, rebuilding the execution hierarchy for live incident triage.

How do I triage Velociraptor collection ZIPs for DFIR investigations?

To map EDR findings to ATT&CK techniques during live hunts, detect common patterns like Office-to-shell chains, C2 connections, scheduled task persistence, orphaned processes, DLL sideloading, and lsass access, then translate them into escalation-ready leads.

Does this approach support EDR analysis across Windows, Linux, and macOS?

Yes, this EDR analysis approach supports Windows, Linux, and macOS environments by processing Velociraptor JSON artifact bundles and vendor-specific exports across multiple operating systems to extract suspicious processes and network connections.

What is the best way to map EDR findings to ATT&CK techniques during live hunts?

To reconstruct parent-child process chains from EDR telemetry, analyze the exported JSON or CSV telemetry to identify initial entry points and escalation patterns, rebuilding the execution hierarchy for live incident triage.
