Just posted today! Thanks a bunch
This looks similar to file_events though, which does not include the context of the process
a
That is true, it is not possible to retrieve it from the NTFS journal
The only ways (that I know of) to get it is to either use a kernel driver (which is a little frowned upon in osquery) or attempt to use the Audit ACL (but that would mean changing system state)

I’m not super familiar with Windows internals. Is the Audit ACL similar to the audit system on Linux?
a
Audit is a system call tracing facility, and that is why it was possible to implement those tables (on Linux)

Thanks. It seems like I can get most of what I want through that and then having osquery send back the data from windows_events
