Summary: Trail of Bits released three osquery extensions in May 2018: one to manage local firewalls across fleets on the three major operating systems, one to manage Google Santa's macOS application whitelist and blacklist without a separate sync server, and one to collect NTFS filesystem forensic information for incident response and data collection. The NTFS extension is positioned as an alternative to forensics toolkits and commercial services that offer similar capabilities.

What's compelling: The NTFS extension is pitched as a way to dispense with commercial forensics toolkits and services, which puts a concrete cost and vendor decision in front of the team that owns incident response.
