Stratoshark

Stratoshark is a sibling application for Wireshark which lets you analyze system calls and log messages. It helps people understand, troubleshoot, and secure their systems via system calls and log messages similar to the way Wireshark helps people understand, troubleshoot, and secure their networks via packets.

Stratoshark captures and analyzes system calls and logs using libsinsp and libscap, and can share capture files with the Sysdig command line tool and Falco:

libscap-libsinsp-ecosystem

Getting Stratoshark

You can get Windows and macOS packages at https://stratoshark.org/. Native system call captures aren't yet supported on those platforms, but they do come with the Falco CloudTrail plugin, which can pull AWS CloudTrail logs from an S3 bucket or SQS/SNS.

If you wish to use Stratoshark on Linux you will have to build it yourself. Instructions for doing that can be found in the Stratoshark Quick Start guide.
