SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Velociraptor integration for LimaCharlie enables DFIR teams to list available VQL artifacts, view artifact definitions, and launch forensic collections on endpoints from a single workflow. It also provides access to raw collection data and processed events for rapid triage and investigation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • List Velociraptor artifacts (built-in or external) and view their YAML definitions.
  • Launch endpoint forensic collections and collect results in Artifact or JSON event form.
  • Retrieve raw artifacts (ZIP) and query processed velociraptor events on the velociraptor sensor.
  • Build D&R automation rules from velociraptor_collection events for incident response.

Quick Start

Example: List artifacts, then launch a collection on sensor SID 'SID-123' for artifact 'Windows.System.Drivers'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I launch Velociraptor forensic collections on endpoints?

Launch Velociraptor forensic collections by listing available artifacts, selecting one, and triggering collection on target endpoints through LimaCharlie. Collections return results in Artifact or JSON event form for immediate analysis.

Can I use Velociraptor for incident response and threat hunting workflows?

Yes. Velociraptor collections support incident response, threat hunting, and forensic triage. Build D&R automation rules from velociraptor_collection events to respond automatically to detected threats.

What Velociraptor artifacts can I access and how do I view their definitions?

List built-in and external Velociraptor artifacts available in your environment, then view their YAML definitions to understand what data each artifact collects before launching.

How do I query and download Velociraptor collection results?

Retrieve raw artifacts as ZIP files or query processed velociraptor events using LCQL queries on the velociraptor sensor to extract specific data from completed collections.

What are the prerequisites for using Velociraptor integration with LimaCharlie?

The ext-velociraptor extension must be installed. You need sensor event ingestion enabled, access to standard LimaCharlie API calls, and target endpoints running Velociraptor.

Can I automate endpoint forensics across multiple systems with Velociraptor?

Yes. Trigger collections across endpoints, apply D&R rules to automate response based on velociraptor_collection events, and scale forensic triage and artifact handling across your infrastructure.
