Checked October 2026.

## What is DeepBlueCLI?

DeepBlueCLI is a PowerShell module designed for threat hunting through Windows Event Log analysis. The tool processes various Windows event logs including Security, System, Application, PowerShell, and Sysmon logs to identify potential security threats and malicious activities.

The module can analyze both live local event logs and archived EVTX files, making it suitable for real-time monitoring and forensic investigations. It detects various attack patterns and suspicious activities such as password spraying, DCShadow attacks, malicious PowerShell usage, and other threat indicators.

DeepBlueCLI includes sample EVTX files for testing and demonstration purposes, though these may trigger antivirus alerts due to their malicious content artifacts. The tool requires PowerShell execution and Administrator privileges when processing local security event logs.

The module provides structured output for detected events and can be integrated into security operations workflows for automated threat detection and incident response activities.
