New Lab License Feature: Audit Trail
We’re pleased to introduce a new feature for our lab license holders, with more exciting updates on the horizon. The feature, called “Audit Trail,” can be activated during a scan using the --audit-trail flag. This generates a comprehensive log file in JSON format, capturing detailed output for each module and documenting every element that THOR interacts with during a scan.
The Audit Trail feature is currently available in TechPreview version 10.7. The output format isn’t finalized yet, as it will be refined for THOR v11, but this early version allows you to explore the kinds of elements it includes. The audit trail is ideal for forensic analysts conducting manual investigations, providing a detailed record of the scan process.
We’re also developing tools to further enhance the audit trail’s utility. These tools will help transform the data for use with your preferred timeline tools and enable correlations within its contents. For example, you can analyze whether a file was created within a relevant time frame, executed shortly after, and is still running as a process.
