MIR-ROR 2.0 released

MIR-ROR 2.0 has been released as the project has benefited from Jon Mark Allen's (ubahmapk) many contributions, giving MIR-ROR some much needed attention. 
MIR-ROR, or Motile Incident Response - Respond Objectively, Remediate, is a security incident response specialized, command-line script that calls specific Windows Sysinternals tools, as well as some other useful utilities, to provide live capture data for investigation.
You can easily enhance MIR-ROR to your liking with whatever command line tools you find useful. 
For incident response resource, we’ve found it indispensable.
Windows Systinternals licensing prevents us from bundling the tools in a distribution package; you’ll have to retrieve them for yourself. You can download the complete Sysinternals Suite, along with the other utilities needed, and unpack in a preferred directory on your system (C:\tools\MIR-ROR). Check fetch.txt for everything you need to download.
Please feel free to submit suggestions or fixes via Issue Tracker and we'll review potential updates for future releases. 
You can read the complete ISSA Journal article, MIR-ROR: Motile Incident Response - Respond Objectively, Remediate, here.

toolsmith: AIRT-Application for Incident Response Teams

My monthly toolsmith column in the August 2009 edition of the ISSA Journal features AIRT.
"AIRT is a web-based application that has been designed and developed to support the day to day operations of a computer security incident response team. The application supports highly automated processing of incident reports and facilitates coordination of multiple incidents by a security operations center."
Kees Leune had pointed me to his excellent offering after I'd sent him MIR-ROR for his consideration.
Incident response teams will find this app very useful for case management.
The article PDF is here.
Thanks to Kees for all his time and feedback while I was writing this month's article.
Cheers.
