| Intelligence Processor | CyberChef's extraction operations; the VirusTotal and AbuseIPDB websites | Extraction, lookups, and STIX export in one pass, with results sent straight to IOC Vault. |
| IOC Vault | MISP, OpenCTI | No server to run: one AES-256-GCM-encrypted file on a share. MISP and OpenCTI do far more, including sharing between organizations. |
| Intelligence Feed | Any RSS reader; CISA and vendor advisory pages read directly | Watchlist matching and CVE extraction in the same app as your other tools. |
| File Analysis | Detect It Easy, ExifTool, VirusTotal hash search | The checks combined, with the reasoning shown, and nothing uploaded. |
| Email Analysis | Message-header analyzers such as Google Admin Toolbox Messageheader | Authentication, routing, and lookalike checks together, each mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, without rendering the message. |
| Process, Service, Scheduled Task, and Registry & Persistence Analysis; Startup Manager | Sysinternals Autoruns and Process Explorer (Windows); RegRipper | One scoring approach across platforms, with a reason for each flag. Autoruns covers more Windows autostart locations. |
| Execution Evidence and Event Log & Logon Analysis | Eric Zimmerman's tools (PECmd, AmcacheParser, EvtxECmd), Hayabusa, Chainsaw | Merged, scored timelines in the same interface. The free tools cover more artifacts, and Hayabusa and Chainsaw apply large Sigma rule sets. |
| Browser Analysis | Hindsight, NirSoft BrowsingHistoryView | Risk flags across Chromium and Firefox browsers, including Volume Shadow Copy history on Windows. |
| Network Connection Forensics | netstat or ss; Sysinternals TCPView | Connections, listening ports, ARP, and the DNS cache in one exportable snapshot. |
| Malware Scan | Autoruns with its VirusTotal check, Hayabusa or Chainsaw for logs, and the antivirus built into Windows (Microsoft Defender) | One sweep that correlates those sources, with remediation that can be undone. It does not replace antivirus or EDR. |
| Secure Host | The operating system's own firewall commands (netsh, nftables, pf); EDR network containment, if you have it | A snapshot first and a one-step restore. EDR containment is harder for an attacker on the host to undo. |
| Triage Kit USB | Velociraptor offline collector, CyLR | Built from the same app, with a SHA-256 manifest and a verify step. Velociraptor collects far more and scales to many hosts. |
| USB ISO Burner | Rufus, balenaEtcher, dd | A checksum check before writing and a read-back afterward, from the same app. |
| Decoder | CyberChef | The same app and console as your other modules; auto-peel reports each layer it removed. CyberChef has far more operations. |
| Cryptographic Inventory | CBOMkit, testssl.sh, ssh-audit | Code, configuration, and endpoint findings combined into one migration plan with CBOM and SARIF output. |
| AI Analysis | c2patool and the Content Credentials Verify site, for provenance | Artifact and heuristic tiers on top of provenance. Those extra tiers are less reliable than provenance, and the score says which tier it rests on. |
| Persona Manager; Identity Lookup | A password manager or spreadsheet; search engines used directly; Sherlock or WhatsMyName for usernames | Persona records and query building in one place. Sherlock and WhatsMyName check a username directly against hundreds of sites. |
| Uptime Monitor, Route Mapper, Network Mapper | Uptime Kuma, mtr or WinMTR, Nmap, arp-scan | Segment-aware flags in a shared console. Nmap and Uptime Kuma do much more. |
| Host Utilities | WinDirStat or ncdu, dupeGuru, winget, apt, or Homebrew used directly, ffmpeg, and the operating system's own driver updates | Confirm-before-change in the same app. Otherwise these overlap heavily with free tools. |
