Chainsaw Features:

Search and extract event log records by event IDs, string matching, and regex patterns

Hunt for threats using Sigma detection rules and custom built-in detection logic

Lightning fast, written in rust, wrapping the EVTX parser library by OBenamram

Document tagging (detection logic matching) provided by the TAU Engine Library

Output in an ASCII table format, CSV format, or JSON format

Chainsaw is designed for advanced users who are comfortable using the Command Prompt. Chainsaw would be most useful for technicians, administrators, or IT.
