fleet-hunting-with-velociraptor

fleet-hunting-with-velociraptor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai. It costs 28 tokens per session (2,023 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A fleet-wide endpoint investigation platform and workflow. It deploys agents and runs VQL, an SQL-like query language, across connected computers to collect process, file, registry, event-log, and network data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy Velociraptor servers and agents, write reusable collection queries, investigate suspicious activity across a fleet, and gather offline evidence bundles.
Why use it?
Checking each computer separately is slow and makes results hard to compare. Centralized hunts let investigators send the same query to many endpoints and collect structured results together.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

fleet-hunting-with-velociraptor scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/agent.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Fleet Hunting with Velociraptor

Authorized Use Only: Velociraptor agents provide deep endpoint visibility and remote collection. Deploy only on assets you own or are authorized to monitor, in accordance with your monitoring policy and applicable law.

Overview

Velociraptor is an open-source endpoint visibility and digital-forensics platform from Rapid7/Velocidex. A single Go binary acts as server, client (agent), and CLI depending on how it is invoked and configured. Its power comes from VQL (Velociraptor Query Language) — an SQL-like language whose plugins query the live state of an endpoint (processes, files, registry, event logs, WMI, network connections, prefetch, etc.). VQL queries are packaged into reusable Artifacts, and Artifacts are run at scale as Hunts that fan out across every connected client and stream results back to the server as structured rows.

This makes Velociraptor ideal for fleet-wide threat hunting: a hypothesis ("are any hosts running suspicious PowerShell?") becomes a VQL artifact, deployed as a hunt, with results aggregated centrally in minutes. It also supports offline collectors (standalone executables that collect and bundle artifacts on air-gapped or unmanaged hosts) and live forensic notebooks.

When to Use

  • Hunting for a TTP across hundreds or thousands of endpoints from a single console.
  • Collecting forensic artifacts on demand during incident response without re-imaging.
  • Continuously monitoring for an indicator using client-side event artifacts.
  • Generating standalone offline collectors for hosts you cannot enroll.

Prerequisites

  • A Linux or Windows host for the server (Linux recommended for production).
  • The Velociraptor binary from the official release page: https://github.com/Velocidex/velociraptor/releases
  • Outbound/inbound connectivity from clients to the server frontend port (default 8000) and admin GUI (default 8889).
  • Make the binary executable on Linux:
    chmod +x velociraptor-v0.*-linux-amd64
    sudo mv velociraptor-v0.*-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/velociraptor

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
