Read Original

This technical article details how to set up and use the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for offensive security purposes, specifically to parse, index, and analyze large volumes of Nmap scan results from penetration tests. It explains the advantages over traditional grep-based methods, provides setup instructions, and shares a full source code repository for a Dockerized implementation to enable collaborative data analysis.
