Description
The compromised-device-log contains records of systems suspected or confirmed to be compromised. These detections usually come from endpoint protection platforms (like EDR), anomaly-based monitoring, or correlation rules in SIEM tools. It highlights events such as malware installation, command-and-control (C2) communication, privilege escalation, suspicious file changes, and unusual outbound connections.
Each entry typically includes the device name or IP, time of detection, threat type (e.g., trojan, ransomware, crypto miner), and response level (isolated, monitored, or active threat). It might also log process IDs, associated hash values, and any user actions involved.
This log is essential for prioritizing incident response, isolating infected systems, and tracing the kill chain. It may also be used in forensic investigations to determine the origin and scope of compromise.
Security teams use this log to flag patterns over time, evaluate the effectiveness of defenses, and maintain audit trails for post-incident reviews.

“This file is an absolute must-have for anyone serious about security. Working solo, I was able to quickly identify and prioritize potential threats thanks to its comprehensive logging and clear risk indicators. The ability to track file changes, processes, and IP beacons, all tied to AV and EDR detections, made incident response triage incredibly efficient. It’s a powerful tool that empowers even a single individual to act swiftly and decisively against potential breaches.”
