ChronoDance Banner

A high-performance log analysis tool that detects security threats and anomalies using advanced time-series algorithms and temporal pattern recognition.

Status Platform Performance


What It Does

ChronoDance analyzes log streams in real-time to identify:

  • Anomalous event patterns - Unusual sequences that deviate from learned baselines
  • Event cascades - Rapid bursts of related events indicating active incidents
  • Attack chains - Multi-step intrusion patterns following known kill chain stages
  • Statistical outliers - Events outside normal temporal distributions
  • Change points - Sudden shifts in system behavior

Key Capabilities

Multi-Format Log Support

Format Description
Syslog RFC 3164, RFC 5424, BSD formats
JSON Structured application logs (ELK, cloud-native)
Custom Extensible parser framework

Auto-detection intelligently identifies log formats without configuration.

Detection Algorithms

Algorithm Purpose
Statistical Bands Identifies values outside normal variance
Change Detection Detects mean shifts in event rates
Sequence Analysis Learns normal patterns, flags anomalies
Cascade Detection Identifies self-exciting event bursts
Temporal Logic Matches multi-step attack signatures
