Moloch: OpenSOC CTF Tool Demo

Bashar Shamma

Walks through full packet capture analysis, session reconstruction, and PCAP carving using Moloch in OpenSOC.

Summary

Large-Scale Packet Indexing with Moloch

Moloch (now Arkime) is an open-source, large-scale packet capture, indexing, and database system that provides visual browsing and session reconstruction for network traffic.

Session Analysis and Packet Carving

The presenter illustrates how to construct complex SPI search queries, examine reassembled TCP sessions, and carve suspect payloads directly from full packet captures.

Applying Full PCAP to the OpenSOC Challenge

Participants discover how Moloch serves as the definitive source of truth in OpenSOC, validating whether network anomalies triggered by other tools represent true positive intrusions.
