Boosting Productivity and Analysis with AskmeNEthing: AI-Driven Screen Capture for SOC Investigations

CISOs managing SOC teams often grapple with the challenge of quickly analyzing visual data from dashboards, error logs, or incident screenshots—manual transcription wastes valuable time during high-pressure investigations. AskmeNEthing revolutionizes this with AI-powered screen capture and analysis, using OCR and local LLMs to extract and query on-screen text in natural language, all while maintaining data privacy.

Key features encompass high-resolution region capture, Tesseract OCR for text extraction, Ollama integration for LLM queries, and a streamlined tray interface. It supports multiple formats like tables and runs on Windows with minimal requirements.

For business value, it optimizes workflows by turning visual content into actionable insights, supports decision-making in BI and technical support, and enhances productivity without external data transmission.

In threat hunting scenarios, AskmeNEthing aids SOC analysts by capturing and querying complex logs or SIEM dashboards during hunts. For example, hunters can screenshot anomaly graphs, extract data via OCR, and ask the LLM to identify patterns like unusual login spikes that might indicate credential stuffing. It also enables hunting in non-text sources, such as analyzing captured packet traces or malware screenshots for IoCs, with follow-up questions to correlate with known TTPs. This tool streamlines hypothesis-driven hunts by providing context-aware summaries of visual artifacts.
