bat 0.3.5

## Bro Analysis Tools (BAT) [](https://travis-ci.org/SuperCowPowers/bat) [](http://codecov.io/github/SuperCowPowers/bat?branch=master) [](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bat) [](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/apache-2.0)

The BAT Python package supports the processing and analysis of Bro data with Pandas, scikit-learn, and Spark

### Recent Improvements (Fall 2019): - Better Docs (<https://supercowpowers.github.io/bat/>) - Faster/Smaller Pandas dataframes for large log files: [Large Dataframes](https://supercowpowers.github.io/bat/large_dataframes.html)

## Why BAT?

Bro already has a flexible, powerful scripting language why should I use BAT?

Offloading: Running complex tasks like statistics, state machines, machine learning, etc.. should be offloaded from Bro so that Bro can focus on the efficient processing of high volume network traffic.

Data Analysis: We have a large set of support classes that help bridge from raw Bro data to packages like Pandas, scikit-learn, and Spark. We also have example notebooks that show step-by-step how to get from here to there.
