Malcolm
A powerful, easily deployable network traffic analysis tool suite for PCAP files, Zeek logs, and Suricata alerts.
What is Malcolm?
Malcolm is a network traffic analysis tool suite that processes full packet capture (PCAP) files, Zeek logs, and Suricata alerts for security monitoring. It automatically normalizes, enriches, and correlates network data to provide comprehensive visibility into network communications and security incidents. The tool is designed to be easily deployable across various environments, from security operations centers to individual incident response engagements.
Security analysts, incident responders, and network administrators in SOCs or industrial control systems environments who need to analyze network traffic for threats and anomalies. It's also suitable for individual security professionals conducting investigations on portable setups like laptops.
Developers choose Malcolm because it integrates multiple powerful open-source tools (like OpenSearch and Arkime) into a cohesive, containerized framework that is easier to deploy and manage than assembling components manually. Its focus on industrial control systems protocols and permissive Apache 2.0 license make it an attractive alternative to proprietary security solutions.
