Tests Coverage Badge Status

pySigma is a python library that parses and converts Sigma rules into queries. It is a replacement for the legacy Sigma toolchain (sigmac) with a much cleaner design and is almost fully tested. Backends for support of conversion into query languages and processing pipelines for transforming rule for log data models are separated into dedicated projects to keep pySigma itself slim and vendor-agnostic. See the Related Projects section below to get an overview.

Getting Started

To start using pySigma, install it using your python package manager of choice. Examples:

pip install pysigma
pipenv install pysigma
poetry add pysigma

Documentation with some usage examples can be found here.

Create Your Own Backend for pySigma

The creation of a backend has become much easier with pySigma. We recommend using the "Cookie Cutter Template" and reviewing the existing backends listed in the "Related Projects" section of this README.
