To know where you are going, you must first see where you have been.
TLDR: Operators are telling you what to build. Janus listens. Every failed command, retry, and workaround during an engagement is useful data but it usually gets deleted and forgotten. Janus surfaces that data instead, showing your team where your tooling breaks, where operators lose time, and what you could automate next. To jump right in, head to the repo and follow the README: https://github.com/SpecterOps/Janus
Introduction
On almost every engagement, a command will fail and an operator will tweak it until it works. A few weeks later, on a different engagement, they will encounter the same issue and cycle through that process again. None of this repetitive friction gets surfaced because it dies in scratch notes and logs. The issue is not one failure, but rather a compounding of failures that makes us lose hours on engagements.
Janus exists to capture and surface that friction, turning errors into something useful. It does this by parsing logs from command and control (C2) servers, showing how tools actually behave during operations and not how we think they behave. Janus performs its entire analysis without the use of LLMs, ensuring engagement data remains fully controlled. LLMs are an optional layer for querying and interaction, where you can filter or redact any shared data in accordance with organizational policies. From this analysis, teams can direct resources to fix those issues, inform operators, or build new tools to reduce the friction. In turn, this provides benefits for every layer of …
