---------------- ️ Tool: Sysmon Config BuilderSysmon Config Builder is a graphical utility for composing and managing Microsoft Sysmon configuration files. The project provides features for GUI-driven construction of event filtering rules rather than hand-editing XML, and targets practitioners who maintain custom Sysmon configurations for monitoring and forensic collection. Key Capabilities• Support for all Sysmon Event IDs (1–30), enabling rule creation across the full Sysmon event set.• Field-aware rule creation that adapts available fields and conditions to the selected event type, reducing configuration errors.• Preset values for common binaries and processes to accelerate rule authoring and standardize filters.• Import existing Sysmon XML configurations and export valid Sysmon XML files, facilitating iterative editing and sharing of configurations.• Cross-platform GUI built with PySide6, indicating a Qt-based desktop interface implemented in Python. Implementation NotesThe repository describes a packaged distribution for Windows and Linux and also documents running from source, which lists Python 3.11+ and PySide6 as runtime requirements. The GUI-centric approach emphasizes usability: users select Sysmon events, choose rule parameters (include/exclude, field, condition, value) and assemble rule sets that can be exported as Sysmon-compatible XML. Practical ObservationsThe tool focuses on configuration authoring and file-level import/export of Sysmon XML. It organizes rule construction by event type and exposed fields, and provides presets for common binaries to streamline typical detection and exclusion use cases. The README highlights cross-platform packaging to deliver a bundled desktop application experience without requiring a local Python interpreter for packaged releases. sysmon #pyside6 #sysmon_builder #xml #dfir Source: https://github.com/Infinit3i/sysmon-builder/tree/main
