implementing-velociraptor-for-ir-collection

implementing-velociraptor-for-ir-collection is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,272 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A deployment guide for Velociraptor, an open-source platform that collects forensic information from computers during incident response. It uses queries and reusable artifact definitions across Windows, Linux, and macOS endpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy Velociraptor, run hunts and VQL queries, and collect endpoint artifacts during security investigations. It is suited to collecting information across large groups of computers.
Why use it?
It gives responders a consistent way to gather evidence from many machines during an investigation. Offline endpoints can receive collection work when they reconnect.

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

implementing-velociraptor-for-ir-collection scanned grade B with 2 findings 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/agent.py, scripts/process.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.

Implementing Velociraptor for IR Collection

Overview

Velociraptor is an advanced open-source endpoint monitoring, digital forensics, and incident response platform developed by Rapid7. It uses the Velociraptor Query Language (VQL) to create custom artifacts that collect, query, and monitor almost any aspect of an endpoint. Velociraptor enables incident response teams to rapidly collect and examine forensic artifacts from across a network, supporting large-scale deployments with minimal performance impact. The client-server architecture with Fleetspeak communication enables real-time data collection from thousands of endpoints simultaneously, with offline endpoints picking up hunts when they reconnect.

When to Use

  • When deploying or configuring implementing velociraptor for ir collection capabilities in your environment
  • When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
  • When building or improving security architecture for this domain
  • When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with incident response concepts and tools
  • Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
  • Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
  • Appropriate authorization for any testing activities

Architecture

Components

  • Velociraptor Server: Central management console with web UI and API

  • Fleetspeak: Communication framework between client and server
  • VQL Engine: Query language engine for artifact collection
  • Filestore: Server-side storage for collected artifacts
  • Datastore: Metadata storage for hunts, flows, and client information

Supported Platforms

  • Windows (7+, Server 2008R2+)
  • Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL)
  • macOS (10.13+)

Deployment

# Start the server
./velociraptor-linux-amd64 --config server.config.yaml frontend

# Or run as systemd service

Changes

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.

implementing-velociraptor-for-ir-collection is a skill published in the GitHub repository adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai (57 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 2,272 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
