Overview

OpenRelik gives a security team a shared workspace for digital forensics and incident response. Investigators create a folder for a case, upload the evidence they have collected, then run processing workflows over it without leaving the browser. The processing itself is done by a pool of independent workers, so a long running job such as building a super timeline from disk and log artefacts runs in the background while the team carries on working, and the results land back in the same case folder for everyone to review. Because folders can be shared, several analysts can work the same incident together instead of passing files and spreadsheets around, and the workflow definitions make the steps taken repeatable and reviewable rather than ad hoc. Out of the box it can extract archives, pull strings from binary artefacts, triage large files by pattern and build timelines, and further workers can be added for other tooling.

Why the cloudimg image

Forensic evidence is exactly the kind of data that must never sit behind a shared credential, so cloudimg generates every secret on your own instance at first boot: the database password, the session secret, the token signing key and the administrator password are all created on the machine and written to a root only file, and none of them exists in the image. Single sign on is deliberately left unconfigured and closed rather than open, so an instance is never reachable by anyone who has not been given an account, and no third party client secret is ever shipped. The platform runs as a set of containers on a private internal network with only the reverse proxy reachable from outside, and the image is checked before release to prove no other service is listening publicly and that a real evidence file genuinely runs through a real worker. Every deployment comes with a paired deploy guide and 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • Run a shared incident investigation with evidence, workflows and findings in one case folder
  • Build super timelines and extract artefacts from collected evidence in the background
  • Give an incident response team a repeatable, reviewable forensic processing pipeline
