plaso.parsers.plist_plugins.dtfabric_plugin module

Shared functionality for dtFabric-based data format plist parser plugins.

class plaso.parsers.plist_plugins.dtfabric_plugin.DtFabricBasePlistPlugin

Bases: plaso.parsers.plist_plugins.interface.PlistPlugin

Shared functionality for dtFabric-based data format Registry plugins.

A dtFabric-based data format plist parser plugin defines its data format structures in dtFabric definition file, for example “dtfabric.yaml”:

name: int32 type: integer description: 32-bit signed integer type .. attribute:: format

signed

size

4

units

bytes

— name: point3d aliases: [POINT] type: structure description: Point in 3 dimensional space. .. attribute:: byte_order

little-endian

members: - name: x

aliases: [XCOORD] data_type: int32

• name: y data_type: int32

• name: z data_type: int32

The path to the definition file is defined in the class constant “_DEFINITION_FILE” and will be read on class instantiation.

The definition files contains data type definitions such as “int32” and “point3d” in the previous example.

A data type map can be used to create a Python object that represent the data type definition mapped to a byte stream, for example if we have the following byte stream: 01 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 03 00 00 00

The corresponding “point3d” Python object would be: point3d(x=1, y=2, z=3)

A parser that wants to implement a dtFabric-based data format parser needs to: * define a definition file and override _DEFINITION_FILE; * implement the ParseFileObject method.

The _GetDataTypeMap method of this class can be used to retrieve data type maps from the “fabric”, which is the collection of the data type definitions in definition file. Data type maps are cached for reuse.

The _ReadStructure method of this class can be used to read structure data from a file-like object and create a Python object using a data type map.

abstract GetEntries(parser_mediator, match=None, top_level=None, **unused_kwargs)

Extracts event objects from the values of entries within a plist.

This is the main method that a plist plugin needs to implement.

The contents of the plist keys defined in PLIST_KEYS will be made available to the plugin as self.matched{‘KEY’: ‘value’}. The plugin should implement logic to parse this into a useful event for incorporation into the Plaso timeline.

For example if you want to note the timestamps of when devices were LastInquiryUpdated you would need to examine the bluetooth config file called ‘com.apple.bluetooth’ and need to look at devices under the key ‘DeviceCache’. To do this the plugin needs to define:

PLIST_PATH_FILTERS = frozenset([

interface.PlistPathFilter(‘com.apple.bluetooth’)])

PLIST_KEYS = frozenset([‘DeviceCache’]).

When a file with this key is encountered during processing self.matched is populated and the plugin’s GetEntries() is called. The plugin would have self.matched = {‘DeviceCache’: [{‘DE:AD:BE:EF:01’: {‘LastInquiryUpdate’: DateTime_Object}, ‘DE:AD:BE:EF:01’: {‘LastInquiryUpdate’: DateTime_Object}’…}]} and needs to implement logic here to extract values, format, and produce the data as a event.PlistEvent.

The attributes for a PlistEvent should include the following:

root = Root key this event was extracted from. E.g. DeviceCache/ key = Key the value resided in. E.g. ‘DE:AD:BE:EF:01’ time = Date this artifact was created in number of micro seconds

(usec) since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

desc = Short description. E.g. ‘Device LastInquiryUpdated’

See plist/bluetooth.py for the implemented example plugin.

Parameters

• parser_mediator (ParserMediator) – mediates interactions between parsers and other components, such as storage and dfvfs.

• (Optional[dict[str (match) – object]]): keys extracted from PLIST_KEYS.

• top_level (Optional[dict[str, object]]) – plist top-level item.

plaso.parsers.plist_plugins.install_history module

class plaso.parsers.plist_plugins.install_history.InstallHistoryPlugin

Bases: plaso.parsers.plist_plugins.interface.PlistPlugin

Parameters

• parser_mediator (ParserMediator) – mediates interactions between parsers and other components, such as storage and dfvfs.

• top_level (Optional[dict[str, object]]) – plist top-level item.

NAME = 'macosx_install_history'

PLIST_PATH_FILTERS = frozenset({<plaso.parsers.plist_plugins.interface.PlistPathFilter object>})

plaso.parsers.plist_plugins.interface module

Interface for plist parser plugins.

Plist files are only one example of a type of object that the Plaso tool is expected to encounter and process. There can be and are many other parsers which are designed to process specific data types.

PlistPlugin defines the attributes necessary for registration, discovery and operation of plugins for plist files which will be used by PlistParser.

class plaso.parsers.plist_plugins.interface.PlistPathFilter(filename)

Bases: object

The plist path filter.

Match(filename_lower_case)

Determines if a plist filename matches the filter.

Note that this method does a case insensitive comparison.

Parameters

filename_lower_case (str) – filename of the plist in lower case.

Returns

True if the filename matches the filter.

Return type

bool

class plaso.parsers.plist_plugins.interface.PlistPlugin

Bases: plaso.parsers.plugins.BasePlugin

This is an abstract class from which plugins should be based.

The following are the attributes and methods expected to be overridden by a plugin.

PLIST_PATH_FILTERS

plist path filters that should match for the plugin to process the plist.

Type

set[PlistPathFilter]

PLIST_KEY

keys holding values that are necessary for processing.

Type

set[str]

Please note, PLIST_KEY is case sensitive and for a plugin to match a plist file needs to contain at minimum the number of keys needed for processing.

For example if a Plist file contains the following keys, {‘foo’: 1, ‘bar’: 2, ‘opt’: 3} with ‘foo’ and ‘bar’ being keys critical to processing define PLIST_KEY as [‘foo’, ‘bar’]. If ‘opt’ is only optionally defined it can still be accessed by manually processing self.top_level from the plugin.

Methods: GetEntries() - extract and format info from keys and yields event.PlistEvent.

abstract GetEntries(parser_mediator, match=None, top_level=None, **unused_kwargs)

Extracts events from the values of entries within a plist.

This is the main method that a plist plugin needs to implement.

The contents of the plist keys defined in PLIST_KEYS will be made available to the plugin as self.matched{‘KEY’: ‘value’}. The plugin should implement logic to parse this into a useful event for incorporation into the Plaso timeline.

PLIST_PATH_FILTERS = frozenset([

Parameters

• parser_mediator (ParserMediator) – mediates interactions between parsers and other components, such as storage and dfvfs.

• (Optional[dict[str (match) – object]]): keys extracted from PLIST_KEYS.

• top_level (Optional[dict[str, object]]) – plist top-level item.

NAME = 'plist_plugin'

PLIST_KEYS = frozenset({'any'})

PLIST_PATH_FILTERS = frozenset({})

Process(parser_mediator, top_level=None, **kwargs)

Determine if this is the correct plugin; if so proceed with processing.

Process() checks if the current plist being processed is a match for a plugin by comparing the PATH and KEY requirements defined by a plugin.

This function also extracts the required keys as defined in self.PLIST_KEYS from the plist and stores the result in self.match[key] and calls self.GetEntries() which holds the processing logic implemented by the plugin.

Parameters

• parser_mediator (ParserMediator) – mediates interactions between parsers and other components, such as storage and dfvfs.

• top_level (Optional[dict[str, object]]) – plist top-level item.

URLS = []

Returns

True if the filename matches the filter.
