Log Parsing with Mandiant Highlighter (1)
Reading log isn’t the most enjoyable thing in Network/Security Analysis, sometimes it’s impossible to get something useful from log without using a log parser .In this diary I am going to talk about one of my best log analysis tool.
MANDIANT HIGHLIGHTER

Highlighter Usage
Now let’s have some examples of using Mandiant Highlighter:

- Go to File menu and select Open file.
2-open snortsyslog
3-Type MS-SQL in the keyword field
4-Click on Highlight ,Now Highlighter will highlights MS-SQL in the snortsyslog
6-If you would like to filter the snortsyslog just to display MS-SQL related alerts:

distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
