chainsaw VS lnav

There’s already a DFIR log tool named chainsaw: https://github.com/WithSecureLabs/chainsaw

https://github.com/WithSecureLabs/chainsaw if you're just looking for bad stuff.

Differences between this and Chainsaw? Chainsaw

Use Chainsaw for event logs https://github.com/countercept/chainsaw

See https://lnav.org for a powerful mini-ETL CLI power tool; it embeds SQLite, supports ~every format, has great UX and easily handles a few million rows at a time.

The code base seems like a good reference as a small Python project.

My fav option in this class of apps: https://lnav.org/ It lets you use journalctl with pipes as requested here: https://github.com/Textualize/toolong/issues/4

For local development, I cannot recommend lnav[1] enough. Discovering this tool was a game changer in my day to day life. Adding comments, filtering in/out, prettify and analyse distribution is hard to live without now.

I don't think a browser tool would fit in my workflow. I need to pipe the output to the tool.

It looks like they run an SSH server inside a Docker container defined by this Dockerfile [1]. This uses the ForceCommand directive in the sshd_config file to ensure that a specific command is run when a user connects (rather than the user connecting directly to a shell).

Depending on whether the user connects as the `playground` or `tutorial1` user they interact with a bash script that is either [2] or [3].
