Hayabusa is a Windows event log fast forensics timeline generator and threat hunting tool created by the Yamato Security group in Japan. Hayabusa means "peregrine falcon" in Japanese and was chosen as peregrine falcons are the fastest animal in the world, great at hunting and highly trainable. It is written in Rust and supports multi-threading in order to be as fast as possible. We have provided a tool to convert Sigma rules into Hayabusa rule format. The Sigma-compatible Hayabusa detection rules are written in YML in order to be as easily customizable and extensible as possible. Hayabusa can be run either on single running systems for live analysis, by gathering logs from single or multiple systems for offline analysis, or by running the Hayabusa artifact with Velociraptor for enterprise-wide threat hunting and incident response. The output will be consolidated into a single CSV timeline for easy analysis in Excel, Timeline Explorer, or Elastic Stack.

Hayabusa currently has over 2400 Sigma rules and over 130 Hayabusa built-in detection rules with more rules being added regularly. It can be used for enterprise-wide proactive threat hunting as well as DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response) for free with Velociraptor's Hayabusa artifact. By combining these two open-source tools, you can essentially retroactively reproduce a SIEM when there is no SIEM setup in the environment. You can learn about how to do this by watching Eric Cupuano's Velociraptor walkthrough here.
Windows event log analysis has traditionally been a very long and tedious process because Windows event logs are 1) in a data format that is hard to analyze and 2) the majority of data is noise and not useful for investigations. Hayabusa's goal is to extract out only useful data and present it in a concise as possible easy-to-read format that is usable not only by professionally trained analysts but any Windows system administrator. Hayabusa hopes to let analysts get 80% of their work done in 20% of the time when compared to traditional Windows event log analysis.

Please download the latest stable version of Hayabusa with compiled binaries or compile the source code from the Releases page.
You can git clone the repository with the following command and compile binary from source code:
Warning: The main branch of the repository is for development purposes so you may be able to access new features not yet officially released, however, there may be bugs so consider it unstable.
git clone https://github.com/Yamato-Security/hayabusa.git --recursiveNote: If you forget to use --recursive option, the rules folder, which is managed as a git submodule, will not be cloned.
You can sync the rules folder and get latest Hayabusa rules with git pull --recurse-submodules or use the following command:
hayabusa-1.4.3-win-x64.exe -uIf the update fails, you may need to rename the rules folder and try again.
Caution: When updating, rules and config files in the
rulesfolder are replaced with the latest rules and config files in the hayabusa-rules repository. Any changes you make to existing files will be overwritten, so we recommend that you make backups of any files that you edit before updating. If you are performing level tuning with--level-tuning, please re-tune your rule files after each update. If you add new rules inside of therulesfolder, they will not be overwritten or deleted when updating.
If you have Rust installed, you can compile from source with the following command:
cargo clean
cargo build --releaseYou can download the latest unstable version from the main branch or the latest stable version from the Releases page.
Be sure to periodically update Rust with:
rustup update stableThe compiled binary will be outputted in the ./target/release folder.
You can update to the latest Rust crates before compiling:
cargo updatePlease let us know if anything breaks after you update.
You can create 32-bit binaries on 64-bit Windows systems with the following:
rustup install stable-i686-pc-windows-msvc
rustup target add i686-pc-windows-msvc
rustup run stable-i686-pc-windows-msvc cargo build --releaseIf you receive compile errors about openssl, you will need to install Homebrew and then install the following packages:
brew install pkg-config
brew install opensslIf you receive compile errors about openssl, you will need to install the following package.
Ubuntu-based distros:
sudo apt install libssl-devFedora-based distros:
sudo yum install openssl-develYou may receive an alert from anti-virus or EDR products when trying to run hayabusa or even just when downloading the .yml rules as there will be keywords like mimikatz and suspicious PowerShell commands in the detection signature.
These are false positives so will need to configure exclusions in your security products to allow hayabusa to run.
If you are worried about malware or supply chain attacks, please check the hayabusa source code and compile the binaries yourself.
You may experience slow runtime especially on the first run after a reboot due to the real-time protection of Windows Defender. You can avoid this by temporarily turning real-time protection off or adding an exclusion to the hayabusa runtime directory. (Please take into consideration the security risks before doing these.)
In a Command/PowerShell Prompt or Windows Terminal, just run the appropriate 32-bit or 64-bit Windows binary.
Example: hayabusa-1.4.3-windows-x64.exe
You first need to make the binary executable.
chmod +x ./hayabusa-1.4.3-linux-x64-gnuThen run it from the Hayabusa root directory:
./hayabusa-1.4.3-linux-x64-gnuFrom Terminal or iTerm2, you first need to make the binary executable.
chmod +x ./hayabusa-1.4.3-mac-intelThen, try to run it from the Hayabusa root directory:
./hayabusa-1.4.3-mac-intelOn the latest version of macOS, you may receive the following security error when you try to run it:
Click "Cancel" and then from System Preferences, open "Security & Privacy" and from the General tab, click "Allow Anyway".
After that, try to run it again.

By default, hayabusa will save error messages to error log files.
If you do not want to save error messages, please add
-Q.
You can use the -p or --pivot-keywords-list option to create a list of unique pivot keywords to quickly identify abnormal users, hostnames, processes, etc... as well as correlate events. You can customize what keywords you want to search for by editing ./config/pivot_keywords.txt.
This is the default setting:
Users.SubjectUserName
Users.TargetUserName
Users.User
Logon IDs.SubjectLogonId
Logon IDs.TargetLogonId
Workstation Names.WorkstationName
Ip Addresses.IpAddress
Processes.Image
The format is KeywordName.FieldName. For example, when creating the list of Users, hayabusa will list up all the values in the SubjectUserName, TargetUserName and User fields. By default, hayabusa will return results from all events (informational and higher) so we highly recommend combining the --pivot-keyword-list option with the -m or --min-level option. For example, start off with only creating keywords from critical alerts with -m critical and then continue with -m high, -m medium, etc... There will most likely be common keywords in your results that will match on many normal events, so after manually checking the results and creating a list of unique keywords in a single file, you can then create a narrowed down timeline of suspicious activity with a command like grep -f keywords.txt timeline.csv.
You can use the -L or --logon-summary option to output logon information summary (logon usernames and successful and failed logon count).
You can display the logon information for one evtx file with -f or multiple evtx files with the -d option.
We have provided some sample evtx files for you to test hayabusa and/or create new rules at https://github.com/Yamato-Security/hayabusa-sample-evtx
You can download the sample evtx files to a new hayabusa-sample-evtx sub-directory with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Yamato-Security/hayabusa-sample-evtx.gitWhen hayabusa output is being displayed to the screen (the default), it can display the following information:
Timestamp: Default isYYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.sss +hh:mmformat. This comes from the<Event><System><TimeCreated SystemTime>field in the event log. The default timezone will be the local timezone but you can change the timezone to UTC with the--utcoption.Computer: This comes from the<Event><System><Computer>field in the event log.Channel: The name of log. This comes from the<Event><System><Channel>field in the event log.Event ID: This comes from the<Event><System><EventID>field in the event log.Level: This comes from thelevelfield in the YML detection rule. (informational,low,medium,high,critical) By default, all level alerts will be displayed but you can set the minimum level with-m. For example, you can set-m high) in order to only scan for and display high and critical alerts.RecordID: This comes from the<Event><System><EventRecordID>field in the event log.Title: This comes from thetitlefield in the YML detection rule.Details: This comes from thedetailsfield in the YML detection rule, however, only hayabusa rules have this field. This field gives extra information about the alert or event and can extract useful data from the fields in event logs. For example, usernames, command line information, process information, etc... When a placeholder points to a field that does not exist or there is an incorrect alias mapping, it will be outputted asn/a(not available). If thedetailsfield is not specified (i.e. sigma rules), defaultdetailsmessages to extract fields defined in./rules/config/default_details.txtwill be outputted. You can add more defaultdetailsmessages by adding theProvider Name,EventIDanddetailsmessage you want to output indefault_details.txt. When nodetailsfield is defined in a rule nor indefault_details.txt, all fields will be outputted to thedetailscolumn.MitreAttack: MITRE ATT&CK tactics.RuleFile: The filename of the detection rule that generated the alert or event.EvtxFile: The evtx filename that caused the alert or event.RecordInformation: All field information.
You can customize the output by modifiy config/profiles.txt and config/default_profile.txt.
You can be setting following alias.
If you want to use profile in config/profiles.txt , you use -P/--profile option.
Please use --set-default-profile option when you want to overwrite default_profiles.txt by profile in config/profiles.txt.

The progress bar will only work with multiple evtx files. It will display in real time the number and percent of evtx files that it has finished analyzing.
The alerts will be outputted in color based on the alert level.
You can change the default colors in the config file at ./config/level_color.txt in the format of level,(RGB 6-digit ColorHex).
If you want to disable color output, you can use --no-color option.
If you add -V or --visualize-timeline option, the Event Frequency Timeline feature displays a sparkline frequency timeline of detected events.
Note: There needs to be more than 5 events. Also, the characters will not render correctly on the default Command Prompt or PowerShell Prompt, so please use a terminal like Windows Terminal, iTerm2, etc...
A summary of the dates with the most total detections categorized by level (critical, high, etc...).
The top 5 computers with the most unique detections categorized by level (critical, high, etc...).
Hayabusa detection rules are written in a sigma-like YML format and are located in the rules folder. In the future, we plan to host the rules at https://github.com/Yamato-Security/hayabusa-rules so please send any issues and pull requests for rules there instead of the main hayabusa repository.
Please read the hayabusa-rules repository README to understand about the rule format and how to create rules.
All of the rules from the hayabusa-rules repository should be placed in the rules folder.
informational level rules are considered events, while anything with a level of low and higher are considered alerts.
The hayabusa rule directory structure is separated into 3 directories:
default: logs that are turned on in Windows by default.non-default: logs that need to be turned on through group policy, security baselines, etc...sysmon: logs that are generated by sysmon.testing: a temporary directory to put rules that you are currently testing.
Rules are further seperated into directories by log type (Example: Security, System, etc...) and are named in the following format:
- Alert format:
<EventID>_<EventDescription>_<AttackDescription>.yml - Alert example:
1102_SecurityLogCleared_PossibleAntiForensics.yml - Event format:
<EventID>_<EventDescription>.yml - Event example:
4776_NTLM-LogonToLocalAccount.yml
Please check out the current rules to use as a template in creating new ones or for checking the detection logic.
Sigma rules need to first be converted to hayabusa rule format explained here. Almost all hayabusa rules are compatible with the sigma format so you can use them just like sigma rules to convert to other SIEM formats. Hayabusa rules are designed solely for Windows event log analysis and have the following benefits:
- An extra
detailsfield to display additional information taken from only the useful fields in the log. - They are all tested against sample logs and are known to work.
Some sigma rules may not work as intended due to bugs in the conversion process, unsupported features, or differences in implementation (such as in regular expressions).
- Extra aggregators not found in sigma, such as
|equalsfield.
Limitations: To our knowledge, hayabusa provides the greatest support for sigma rules out of any open source Windows event log analysis tool, however, there are still rules that are not supported:
- Rules that use regular expressions that do not work with the Rust regex crate
- Aggregation expressions besides
countin the sigma rule specification. - Rules that use
|near.
Like firewalls and IDSes, any signature-based tool will require some tuning to fit your environment so you may need to permanently or temporarily exclude certain rules.
You can add a rule ID (Example: 4fe151c2-ecf9-4fae-95ae-b88ec9c2fca6) to ./rules/config/exclude_rules.txt in order to ignore any rule that you do not need or cannot be used.
You can also add a rule ID to ./rules/config/noisy_rules.txt in order to ignore the rule by default but still be able to use the rule with the -n or --enable-noisy-rules option.
Hayabusa and Sigma rule authors will determine the risk level of the alert when writing their rules.
However, the actual risk level will differ between environments.
You can tune the risk level of the rules by adding them to ./rules/config/level_tuning.txt and executing hayabusa-1.4.3-win-x64.exe --level-tuning which will update the level line in the rule file.
Please note that the rule file will be updated directly.
./rules/config/level_tuning.txt sample line:
id,new_level
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000,informational # sample level tuning line
In this case, the risk level of the rule with an id of 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 in the rules directory will have its level rewritten to informational.
As of version 1.4.3, by default, events are filtered by ID to improve performance by ignorning events that have no detection rules.
The IDs defined in ./rules/config/target_event_IDs.txt will be scanned by default.
If you want to scan all events, please use the -D, --deep-scan option.
