A community-maintained guide by TrustedSec covering Microsoft Sysinternals Sysmon on Windows and Linux, including installation, configuration, event types, and detection engineering fundamentals. It is licensed under Creative Commons BY-SA and serves as reference documentation rather than a software tool.

Use cases

• learn how to install and configure Sysmon on Windows
• understand Sysmon event types like process creation and registry actions
• set up Sysmon on Linux with eBPF
• write better Sysmon configuration files for threat detection
• learn detection engineering fundamentals with Sysmon telemetry
• find documentation on Sysmon network and DNS events

When to choose

• you are a security engineer or threat hunter deploying or tuning Sysmon
• you need a free, community-driven reference for Sysmon event IDs and configuration
• you want to learn detection engineering using endpoint telemetry

When to avoid

• you need a runnable tool or script rather than documentation
• you need vendor-official Microsoft documentation or support
• you need a general-purpose EDR or SIEM product
