LogHero 🦸‍♂️

System Log Security Analyzer

Developed by Ahmet KAHRAMAN (AhmetXHero) - Mobile Developer & Cyber Security Expert

LogHero is a powerful command-line tool designed to analyze system log files and detect suspicious security activities. It specializes in identifying SSH brute-force attacks, unauthorized root access attempts, and other security threats across Linux, Windows, and macOS systems.

🎯 Features

• SSH Brute-Force Detection: Identifies repeated failed SSH login attempts from the same IP
• Root Access Monitoring: Detects unauthorized attempts to gain root privileges
• Multi-OS Support: Works with Linux, Windows, and macOS log formats
• Real-time Analysis: Fast log parsing and threat detection
• Detailed Reporting: Comprehensive security reports with recommendations
• Flexible Output: Table, JSON, and CSV output formats
• Batch Processing: Analyze multiple log files at once

🚀 Installation

From PyPI (Recommended)

pip install AhmetX-LogHero

From Source

git clone https://github.com/ahmetxhero/AhmetX-LogHero.git
cd loghero
pip install -e .

📋 Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• Dependencies: click, colorama, python-dateutil, tabulate

🛠 Usage

Basic Usage

# Analyze a single log file
loghero scan /var/log/auth.log

# Analyze with specific severity filter
loghero scan /var/log/secure --severity HIGH

# Output in JSON format
loghero scan /var/log/auth.log --output json

# Save detailed report
loghero scan /var/log/auth.log --save-report security_report.json

Batch Analysis

# Analyze all log files in a directory
loghero batch /var/log

# Analyze with specific pattern
loghero batch /var/log --pattern "auth*" --recursive

Command Options

loghero scan

• --output, -o: Output format (table, json, csv)
• --severity, -s: Filter by minimum severity (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL)
• --threat-type, -t: Filter by specific threat type
• --limit, -l: Limit number of results (default: 50)
• --quiet, -q: Suppress banner and extra output
• --save-report: Save detailed report to file

loghero batch

• --pattern, -p: File pattern to match (default: *.log)
• --recursive, -r: Search recursively in subdirectories

🔍 Detected Threats

SSH Brute-Force Attacks

• Failed password attempts
• Failed public key authentication
• Invalid user attempts
• Suspicious connection patterns

Root Access Violations

• Failed su attempts to root
• Unauthorized sudo usage
• Direct root login attempts
• Privilege escalation attempts

Authentication Failures

• Repeated login failures
• PAM authentication errors
• System authentication violations

└─────────────────┴─────────┴───────┴─────────────────────┘

💡 Security Recommendations:
   1. Consider implementing fail2ban to automatically block IPs
   2. Use SSH key authentication instead of passwords
   3. Disable direct root login via SSH
   4. Implement SSH rate limiting
   5. Set up real-time alerts for security events
