Kunai is an open-source security monitoring tool, specifically designed to address the threat-hunting and threat-detection problematic on Linux. It has been inspired by Microsoft Sysmon, to provide a Sysmon alike experience to the end user. However, it comes with some more advanced features such as fine grained event filtering, detection rules and IoC matching. In this blog post, we are going to introduce how to implement real time MISP IoC matching in a very short amount of time.
