Stenographer

From https://github.com/google/stenographer:

Stenographer is a full-packet-capture utility for buffering packets to disk for intrusion detection and incident response purposes. It provides a high-performance implementation of NIC-to-disk packet writing, handles deleting those files as disk fills up, and provides methods for reading back specific sets of packets quickly and easily.

Stenographer uses AF-PACKET for packet acquisition.

Output

Stenographer writes full packet capture to /nsm/pcap/.

Analysis

You can access full packet capture via PCAP:

Alerts, Hunt, and Kibana allow you to easily pivot to the PCAP page

Diagnostic Logging

Diagnostic logging for Stenographer can be found at /opt/so/log/stenographer/.
