A desktop application for incident responders to track findings, tasks, and visualize timelines during cybersecurity investigations.
Aurora Incident Response is a desktop application that helps cybersecurity professionals document and manage incident response investigations. It replaces traditional spreadsheets with a structured system for tracking findings, tasks, and timelines, making it easier to maintain control over complex cases. The tool includes visualizations for lateral movement and event timelines to aid in analysis.
Incident responders, digital forensics analysts, and cybersecurity teams handling breach investigations and security incidents. It's particularly useful for those familiar with SANS FOR508 methodologies or similar structured response frameworks.
Developed by experienced incident responders, Aurora offers a battle-tested, purpose-built interface that reduces documentation overhead and improves situational awareness during investigations. Its integrated visualizations and threat intelligence connections provide immediate value without requiring complex setup or external tools.
Incident Response Documentation made easy. Developed by Incident Responders for Incident Responders
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Developed by incident responders and battle-tested in actual cases, focusing on practicality over complexity as stated in the philosophy, ensuring it meets real investigation needs.
Includes lateral movement graphs and interactive timelines to visually map attack paths and events chronologically, as shown in the README images, aiding in analysis.
Direct integrations with MISP and VirusTotal allow for enriched analysis without switching tools, leveraging external data during investigations.
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux with plans for mobile versions, making it versatile for different operating systems in incident response teams.
Uses Electron 4.0.6, an older version that may lack security updates and modern features, as noted in the build instructions, potentially limiting compatibility.
Described as a 'leisure time project' in the README, which means slower updates, limited support, and reliance on community contributions for maintenance.
Setting up the development environment requires specific Node.js and Electron installations with manual build steps, which can be cumbersome for new contributors or custom deployments.
