A curated collection of Event ID resources for digital forensics and incident response professionals.
Awesome Event IDs is a curated collection of resources focused on Windows Event IDs, designed to help security analysts interpret and investigate event logs during digital forensics and incident response. It aggregates databases, official documentation, configuration guides, and analysis tools to address the challenge of understanding thousands of event IDs across various log sources.
Security analysts, incident responders, digital forensics professionals, and threat hunters who work with Windows event logs and need quick access to Event ID explanations and monitoring best practices.
It saves time during investigations by centralizing scattered Event ID knowledge, provides authoritative references from vendors and researchers, and offers practical configuration guidance to improve security monitoring and threat detection capabilities.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Centralizes databases like EventTracker Knowledgebase, official Microsoft docs, and community guides, saving time during investigations by reducing scattered searches.
Provides direct references to vendor documentation from Microsoft, Kaspersky, and Symantec, ensuring accurate and reliable event interpretations.
Includes detailed recommendations for audit policies, PowerShell logging, and Sysmon configurations, such as templates from SwiftOnSecurity and olafhartong.
Offers EVTX attack samples and MITRE ATT&CK mappings, aiding in forensic analysis and threat detection with real-world examples.
As a curated list, it lacks interactive features, real-time updates, or integrated search, requiring manual browsing and no automation.
Explicitly excludes tools per the README, so users must separately find and integrate analysis software like Splunk or EvtxECmd for practical use.
Solely focused on Windows Event IDs, making it irrelevant for environments with mixed or non-Windows systems, limiting its versatility.
