Kuiper
by DFIRKuiper
Kuiper is a centralized digital forensics investigation platform that enables parsing, searching, visualization, and collaborative analysis of collected evidences to streamline incident response workflows.
Digital Forensics Investigation Platform
Primary Use Case
Kuiper is designed for digital investigation teams and individual analysts to efficiently manage and analyze forensic artifacts collected from multiple machines. It centralizes evidence processing and collaboration, enabling faster and more accurate incident response by providing a unified platform for parsing, searching, timeline visualization, and rule-based detection.
- Centralized server for evidence storage and processing
- Support for parsing and searching large volumes of forensic artifacts
- Collaboration features including tagging and shared timelines
- Predefined and customizable rules for automated detection
- Concurrent artifact processing for multiple machines
- Integration with evidence collection tools like Hoarder and KAPE
- Web-based interface for ease of access and team collaboration
- Holistic case management with scoped machines and bulk evidence upload
Installation
- Ensure system meets requirements specified in the README
- Clone the repository from https://github.com/DFIRKuiper/Kuiper
- Follow the installation guide under section 4.1 Installation in the README
- Set up the Kuiper server on a centralized machine
- Configure necessary dependencies and environment variables as per documentation
- Start the Kuiper service to enable web interface access
Usage
>_ Create a new investigation caseInitialize a case that contains a list of scoped machines for investigation
>_ Upload bulk evidence filesUpload multiple artifact files collected from scoped machines via tools like Hoarder or KAPE
>_ Start parsing artifacts concurrentlyProcess uploaded evidence files for selected or all machines simultaneously
>_ Browse and search parsed artifactsNavigate through and query the parsed evidence across all machines within a case
>_ Define detection rulesCreate rules to automate alerts for suspicious activities such as encoded PowerShell commands or suspicious binaries
>_ Tag artifacts and build timelinesCollaborate with team members by tagging evidence and visualizing events in a timeline format
- Integrate Kuiper with existing evidence collection tools like Hoarder and KAPE to automate artifact ingestion and streamline workflows.
- Leverage Kuiper's rule-based detection to create custom alerts for emerging threats and automate triage processes.
- Use the collaborative tagging and timeline visualization features to enhance team communication and accelerate incident resolution.
- Deploy Kuiper as a centralized forensic platform to reduce hardware resource requirements on analyst workstations, enabling remote and lightweight investigations.
- Incorporate Kuiper into purple team exercises to validate detection rules and improve coordination between red and blue teams.
