Quick Start

uv tool install eventum-generator
git clone https://github.com/eventum-generator/content-packs.git
cd content-packs
eventum generate \
  --path generators/network-paloalto-threat/generator.yml \
  --id panw-threat \
  --live-mode true

Event Types

Event ID	Description	Frequency	Category
spyware-dns	DNS-based spyware — malware domains, C2 callbacks, DNS tunneling	~35%	threat
vulnerability	IPS vulnerability exploit signatures	~20%	threat
spyware-callback	C2 callback over HTTP/HTTPS	~15%	threat
virus	Antivirus file-based detections (PE, ELF, scripts)	~12%	threat
file-scan	File type matching and network scan detection	~10%	threat
wildfire	WildFire cloud verdicts — malware, grayware, phishing	~8%	threat

Realism Features

70 threat signatures with realistic ID ranges per subtype (spyware, vulnerability, virus, wildfire, file, scan)
Correlated action distributions per subtype — DNS spyware uses sinkhole/drop; virus uses reset-both; vulnerability mostly alerts
Severity-to-syslog mapping with per-subtype severity distributions (critical through informational)
Direction correlation — DNS/C2/scan outbound, virus/wildfire/file inbound
Subtype-specific content versions (Antivirus-* for virus, AppThreat-* for others)
55 malicious domains organized by threat category (C2, malware download, DNS tunnel)
