RITA is a framework that detects command and control communication by analyzing network traffic to identify malicious activity.
Real Intelligence Threat Analytics (RITA) is a framework for detecting command and control communication through network traffic analysis.
RITA is primarily used by network security analysts and threat hunters to detect and investigate command and control (C2) communications within network traffic. It helps organizations identify potential intrusions and malicious behavior by analyzing network logs and traffic patterns.
RITA requires network logs in specific formats such as Zeek logs to function effectively. Users should ensure proper log collection and retention policies are in place. Being a legacy version, consider compatibility with current network environments and check for updates or newer versions for enhanced features.
