Introduction:
I will start with Intro, FireEye Redline is a free endpoint security tool for detecting and investigating security incidents on Windows system. In my experience with FireEye Redline, there may be additional features,
But I will highlight few functionalities which i worked with:
1. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR): Redline helps security professionals analyze and investigate security incidents on individual endpoints.
2. Memory Analysis: Redline allows for the analysis of volatile memory to identify suspicious or malicious activities that might not be evident through traditional file-based analysis.
3. Indicator of Compromise (IoC) Detection: The tool can identify indicators of compromise on a system, helping security teams understand and respond to potential threats.
Data Capture and Analysis:
Data capture capabilities of Redline, including memory, disk, system, and network information.
1. Memory Analysis:
Enumerate features like process listing, driver enumeration, hook detection as well as acquire memory image.
2. Disk Analysis:
Gather File enumeration included deleted files from recycle bin, active files, NTFS INDX Buffers included directories and more... as well as disk enumeration.
3. System Analysis:
Cover system information, user accounts, restore points, OS details, prefetch files, registry hive, event logs, etc.
4. Network Analysis:
ARP tables, routing tables, ports, DNS tables, and browser history.
As well as Services, Scheduled tasks, Common persistence mechanisms
Very Easy Execution:
--Install the tool.
--Select/create a comprehensive collector.
--Edit the script to choose specific details. (Windows, Linux, OS X)
-- Choose the preferred location (e.g., a pendrive).
After this you have script ready for you to collect evidence.
--Insert the pendrive.
--Run the file from the pendrive.
--Collect the data effortlessly.
You can use this tool for IOC scanning.
For this another tool is needed which is OpenIOC 1.0 and use AlienVault website for IOCs.
-- Obtain IOCs from AlienVault
-- Make necessary edits using OpenIOC 1.0
and there you go run scan using Redline and if Redline identifies any of the IOCs on the endpoint, it will collect that information.
In My Point of view, FireEye's Redline one of the best tools you can have in your cybersecurity inventory. Its capabilities, ease of use, make it an indispensable asset for anyone. The ability to capture a, ensures that no stone is left unturned in the pursuit of identifying and mitigating potential security threats. But there are other tools which are far more better but this tool definitely is best asset in inventory
