SOC Multi-tool
A browser extension that streamlines security investigations by providing quick lookups for IPs, domains, hashes, and other indicators.
What is SOC Multi-tool?
SOC Multi-tool is a browser extension that streamlines security investigations by providing quick access to multiple lookup services through right-click context menus. It eliminates manual copying and pasting by allowing security professionals to highlight text and instantly investigate IP addresses, domains, hashes, and other indicators across various security databases and tools.
Security operations center (SOC) analysts, incident responders, threat hunters, and cybersecurity professionals who need to quickly investigate indicators during security incidents and threat intelligence gathering.
Developers choose SOC Multi-tool because it consolidates numerous security lookup services into a single, free browser extension, dramatically reducing investigation time by eliminating context switching between multiple websites and tools during security analysis.
Overview
A powerful and user-friendly browser extension that streamlines investigations for security professionals.

- Analyzing suspicious domains and hashes for threat intelligence
- Decoding encoded strings like Base64 and HEX during forensic analysis
- Looking up Windows Event IDs and error codes during system troubleshooting
- Checking binary files against known living-off-the-land techniques
- Streamlining SOC workflows by reducing manual copy-paste operations
Not Ideal For

Pros & Cons
Pros
Integrates with over 15 security services including VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB, and AlienVault, as listed in the README, providing comprehensive threat intelligence from a single interface without switching tabs.
Eliminates manual copy-paste by opening results in new tabs via right-click menus, dramatically reducing investigation time as shown in the extension GIF in the README.
Available on Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons, with compatibility for Chromium-based browsers like Edge and Brave, ensuring wide adoption across security teams.
Open-source and encourages contributions, allowing users to suggest improvements or add resources, fostering continuous updates and customization.
Cons
Relies entirely on third-party services which may have rate limits, require API keys for full functionality, or be unavailable, potentially disrupting investigations during outages.
All lookups require an internet connection, making it ineffective for air-gapped environments or scenarios where online access is restricted.
Adding custom services or modifying existing ones requires manual code changes and loading the extension in developer mode, which can be cumbersome for non-technical users.
