Frequently asked questions

HakObserver collects installed application inventory, running processes, user session and login events, system and application logs, and active network connections. For forensic investigations, it also supports on-demand memory dump capture. All collection is done at the OS level inside the VM.

HakObserver is designed as a lightweight agent with minimal performance footprint. It uses event-driven collection rather than continuous polling, throttles log transmission to avoid network saturation, and avoids resource-intensive operations unless triggered by an investigation request or scheduled task.

HakObserver captures user session events, login/logoff times, and process execution in real time. This data feeds directly into the User Behaviour Analytics (UBA) module, where baseline behaviour is established per user and anomalies — off-hours logins, unusual process execution, bulk file operations — are surfaced automatically.

Yes. HakObserver's on-demand memory dump capability and detailed process/log collection make it a first-response forensic tool. During an incident, analysts can request a full memory capture from a suspected compromised VM and correlate it with process trees and network connections visible in the Investigations module.
