Open Investigator · AI DFIR reporting

Produce incident reports that point back to evidence.

Open Investigator is useful when the desired output is not just an AI summary, but a case directory with structured evidence, command audit records, JSON output, and a readable Markdown report.

Search intent

For searches like AI DFIR reporting tool, incident investigation report generator, evidence-backed security report, and AI incident report.

How it worksEvery run creates artifacts that help responders, managers, and auditors review what was checked and why. The AI can synthesize findings and timelines, but the report remains grounded in host observations and evidence IDs.
Investigation boundaryOpen Investigator collects and correlates evidence. It does not isolate hosts, block IPs, kill processes, delete files, disable accounts, restart services, or change firewall or registry state.

Practical workflow

Use it as a first-pass host investigation loop.

01

evidence.jsonl

Append-only evidence records capture observations from each investigation tool call.

02

commands.log

Audited command records document what read-only checks were requested and executed.

03

report.md and report.json

Human-readable and structured reports summarize findings, timeline, affected components, supporting evidence, confidence, and follow-up gaps.
