Open source cybersecurity tools

At LimaCharlie, we believe that open-source tools have a crucial role to play in the security industry. This conviction stems, in part, from our company history: LimaCharlie started out as an open-source endpoint detection and response (EDR) project. But beyond that, we think that the future of cybersecurity will be marked by the values of open-source tech; by a trend towards greater openness and transparency.

Network Detection and Incident Response with Open Source Tools

When conducting incident response, EDR and firewall technologies can only show you so much. The breadth of network traffic provides an unrivalled source of evidence and visibility. Open-source security technologies such as Zeek, Suricata, and Elastic can deliver powerful network detection and response capabilities, furthermore the global communities behind these tools can also serve as a force multiplier for security teams, often accelerating response times to zero-day exploits via community-driven intel sharing.

Open Source Intelligence

The term “open source” refers in particular to records this is publically available. A huge part of the internet cannot be found using major search engines. This is called as “Deep Web”. Deep Web is a mass of websites, databases, files, and more that cannot be indexed by Google, Bing, Yahoo, or any other search engine. Despite this, much of the content of the dark web can be considered open source because it is easily available to the public.

How to contribute to open source projects

As a developer, you probably rely on open source every day. Open source code is incredibly beneficial for building and improving products, whether personal or professional. But have you considered going a step further and contributing to open source projects as well? Taking this approach can improve your skills and make a positive impact on the software development community at large. Yet, taking the leap can seem difficult. Where do you start?
