Fibratus is a tool which is able to capture the most of the Windows kernel activity - process/thread creation and termination, context switches, file system I/O, registry, network activity, DLL loading/unloading and much more. The kernel events can be easily streamed to a number of output sinks like AMQP message brokers, Elasticsearch clusters or standard output stream. You can use filaments (lightweight Python modules) to extend Fibratus with your own arsenal of tools and so leverage the power of the Python's ecosystem.
Notice: Fibratus is currently undergoing a ground up rework. After lots of dillemas, I finally decided to rewrite the code base in Go language by incorporating a ton of improvements and some killer features.
