Part of what makes Cribl unique is our focus on the particulars of working with gritty old logs. Logs present challenges not addressed by most data processing systems: working easily with overly verbose data and formats which can be weirdly structured, nested, and hard to parse. Not only are logs noisy by throwing lots of … Continue reading Cribl LogStream 1.4: Like a Log Shaver
Using Cribl to Analyze DNS Logs in Real-Time – PART 2
In a previous post we showed how to use detect data exfiltration with Cribl in real-time. The analysis focused on checking DNS labels from DNS logs for presence of base64 encoded data. In this post we will look at several other techniques that can help security engineers add dimensions to the data to help improve the fidelity and accuracy … Continue reading Using Cribl to Analyze DNS Logs in Real-Time – PART 2
Encrypting sensitive information in real-time with Cribl
If your machine data does not contain sensitive information, you don't really need to read this - you got it all figured out. Just stop here and go back to surfing the interwebs or...maybe you want to check again?! 🙂 If you're still reading, you know that while your machine data is vital for your operations/security analytics, … Continue reading Encrypting sensitive information in real-time with Cribl
Announcing Cribl LogStream 1.3: Tap Those Pipes
If you've ever worked with a log analysis system before, data on-boarding is one of the most painful parts. Every system expects the data to look a little different, and getting that right generally involves a ton of trial and error. Make a configuration change, restart the cluster, try again. Send the data to a … Continue reading Announcing Cribl LogStream 1.3: Tap Those Pipes
Connecting Different Pipes: Ingesting ElasticSearch Data in Splunk

Using Cribl to Detect Data Exfil Over DNS Logs in Real-Time
Update: Part 2 is now here The recent massive data breach at Marriot's newly minted SPG (Simply Phucked Guests) program got me thinking about various data exfiltration techniques, including over DNS. Probably not related to this breach, but it was a completely random thought and I realized that Cribl can help security practitioners and threat hunters … Continue reading Using Cribl to Detect Data Exfil Over DNS Logs in Real-Time
