Dagobert vs LimaCharlie

Dagobert is a free, MIT-licensed workspace for digital forensics and incident response investigations. Teams can keep multiple cases in separate workspaces with role-based, per-case access managed in the interface. Records cover timelines, assets, indicators, evidence, malware, tasks, notes and comments, with CSV import and export. A cross-case dashboard includes a MITRE ATT&CK heatmap, unified timeline, evidence and indicator tracking, and a lateral-movement graph. Reports are generated from supplied Word, Excel or Calc, Writer, and Impress templates in DOCX, ODS, ODT and ODP formats. Background jobs can process evidence with Hayabusa, Zircolite, Chainsaw, Plaso and Dissect. Indicator enrichment can query VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB and Hybrid Analysis, while timelines exchange with Timesketch. Hooks trigger automations on record changes. An authenticated read-only MCP endpoint exposes case data. Local accounts and OIDC are supported. The project is a Go binary backed by SQLite, with Docker self-hosting instructions.

LimaCharlie is an API-first SecOps platform for telemetry, detection, and response. Its endpoint tools gather EDR telemetry, monitor process, network, file, and user activity, and support YARA scans and automated response. The endpoint agent supports Windows, Mac, Linux, Docker, ChromeOS, Chrome, and Edge. LimaCharlie can ingest structured JSON, Syslog, or CEF data, including on-premises sources and cloud-to-cloud feeds. Users can define detection criteria and response actions in YAML, then automate actions across endpoints, APIs, clouds, and multiple tenants. Rules, sensors, and configurations can also be defined in YAML or Terraform with version control, auditability, and rollback. Multi-tenancy is designed for MSSPs to separate customer environments while centrally managing rules, sensors, and automation. The Community tier is free and allows up to two endpoints. Standard lists EDR at $3 a month per endpoint. The pricing page lists SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA, and PCI-DSS under security and compliance.
