(Dshell) The United States Army Just Open-Sourced Its Security Software

The US Army is open-sourcing a code it uses to analyse cyberattacks. For the past five years, whenever a Department of Defence network has been compromised, the US Army has used the Dshell framework to do forensic analysis on the attacks.

This move is meant to encourage developers to add custom modules that will help the US Army understand what happens when they get attacked. Since cyberattacks that happen to the government are often similar to the ones that happen elsewhere, letting non-government people give their input is a way to expand the Army’s knowledge of the kind of attacks that go down.

GitHub - »github.com/USArmyResearc ··· b/Dshell

It's nothing incredibly fancy but it's always nice to have cleaner methods to look at packet captures.

Most of it is pattern analysis anyways and lots of reading in between the lines.

but Efficiency is always loved in being able to do this with saved overhead.
