plaso (Plaso Langar Að Safna Öllu) - super timeline all the things
|
|
|
|
In short, plaso is a Python-based backend engine for the tool log2timeline.
|
|
|
|
A longer version:
|
|
|
|
log2timeline is a tool designed to extract timestamps from various files found
|
|
on a typical computer system(s) and aggregate them.
|
|
|
|
The initial purpose of plaso was to collect all timestamped events of interest
|
|
on a computer system and have them aggregated in a single place for computer
|
|
forensic analysis (aka Super Timeline).
|
|
|
|
However plaso has become a framework that supports:
|
|
* adding new parsers or parsing plug-ins;
|
|
* adding new analysis plug-ins;
|
|
* writing one-off scripts to automate repetitive tasks in computer forensic
|
|
analysis or equivalent.
|
|
|
|
And is moving to support:
|
|
* adding new general purpose parses/plugins that may not have timestamps
|
|
associated to them;
|
|
* adding more analysis context;
|
|
* tagging events;
|
|
* allowing more targeted approach to the collection/parsing.
