Introduction

BLUESPAWN is an active defense and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tool designed to be operated by a technical expert to detect, identify, and eliminate malicious activity from a Windows machine. It consists of a client with three modes:

• Hunt: actively hunt for malware on a Windows machine. These are all attached to specific MITRE attack techniques.
• Monitor: passively operate in the background and monitor for suspicious activity. This mode launches a hunt when something is detected.
• Mitigate: reduces the risk present on a Windows system by looking for weak security policies and settings, then helping an operator fix them.
