MasterParser stands as a robust Digital Forensics and Incident Response tool meticulously crafted for the analysis of Linux logs within the var/log directory.
Specifically designed to expedite the investigative process for security incidents on Linux systems, MasterParser adeptly scans supported logs, such as auth.log for example, extract critical details including SSH logins, user creations, event names, IP addresses and much more.
The tool’s generated summary presents this information in a clear and concise format, enhancing efficiency and accessibility for Incident Responders.
Beyond its immediate utility for DFIR teams, MasterParser proves invaluable to the broader InfoSec and IT community, contributing significantly to the swift and comprehensive assessment of security events on Linux platforms.
This is the list of supported log formats within the var/log directory that MasterParser can analyze.
In future updates, MasterParser will support additional log formats for analysis.
