Note that debug_output takes precedence over quiet_mode.

plaso.lib.objectfilter module¶

Classes to perform filtering of objects based on their data members.

Given a list of objects and a textual filter expression, these classes allow you to determine which objects match the filter. The system has two main pieces: A parser for the supported grammar and a filter implementation.

Given any complying user-supplied grammar, it is parsed with a custom lexer based on GRR’s lexer and then compiled into an actual implementation by using the filter implementation. A filter implementation simply provides actual implementations for the primitives required to perform filtering. The compiled result is always a class supporting the Filter interface.

If we define a class called Car such as:

class Car(object):

def __init__(self, code, color=”white”, doors=3):: self.code = code self.color = color self.doors = 3

And we have two instances:

ford_ka = Car(“FORDKA1”, color=”grey”) toyota_corolla = Car(“COROLLA1”, color=”white”, doors=5) fleet = [ford_ka, toyota_corolla]

We want to find cars that are grey and have 3 or more doors. We could filter our fleet like this:

criteria = “(color is grey) and (doors >= 3)” parser = ContextFilterParser(criteria).Parse() compiled_filter = parser.Compile(LowercaseAttributeFilterImp)

for car in fleet:

if compiled_filter.Matches(car):

print(“Car %s matches the supplied filter.” % car.code)

The filter expression contains two subexpressions joined by an AND operator:: “color is grey” and “doors >= 3”

This means we want to search for objects matching these two subexpressions. Let’s analyze the first one in depth “color is grey”:

“color”: the left operand specifies a search path to look for the data. This tells our filtering system to look for the color property on passed objects. “is”: the operator. Values retrieved for the “color” property will be checked against the right operand to see if they are equal. “grey”: the right operand. It specifies an explicit value to check for.

So each time an object is passed through the filter, it will expand the value of the color data member, and compare its value against “grey”.

Because data members of objects are often not simple datatypes but other objects, the system allows you to reference data members within other data members by separating each by a dot. Let’s see an example:

Let’s add a more complex Car class with default tyre data:

class CarWithTyres(Car):

def __init__(self, code, tyres=None, color=”white”, doors=3):: super(self, CarWithTyres).__init__(code, color, doors) tyres = tyres or Tyre(“Pirelli”, “PZERO”)

class Tyre(object):

def __init__(self, brand, code):: self.brand = brand self.code = code

And two new instances:

ford_ka = CarWithTyres(“FORDKA”, color=”grey”, tyres=Tyre(“AVON”, “ZT5”)) toyota_corolla = Car(“COROLLA1”, color=”white”, doors=5) fleet = [ford_ka, toyota_corolla]

To filter a car based on the tyre brand, we would use a search path of “tyres.brand”.

Because the filter implementation provides the actual classes that perform handling of the search paths, operators, etc. customizing the behaviour of the filter is easy. Three basic filter implementations are given:

BaseFilterImplementation: search path expansion is done on attribute names as provided (case-sensitive). LowercaseAttributeFilterImp: search path expansion is done on the lowercased attribute name, so that it only accesses attributes, not methods. DictFilterImplementation: search path expansion is done on dictionary access to the given object. So “a.b” expands the object obj to obj[“a”][“b”]

class plaso.lib.objectfilter.AndFilter(arguments=None, value_expander=None)[source]¶

Bases: plaso.lib.objectfilter.Filter

Performs a boolean AND of the given Filter instances as arguments.

Note that if no conditions are passed, all objects will pass.

class plaso.lib.objectfilter.BasicExpression[source]¶

Bases: plaso.lib.lexer.Expression

Basic Expression.

FlipBool()[source]¶

class plaso.lib.objectfilter.BinaryExpression(operator='', part=None)[source]¶

Compile(filter_implementation)[source]¶: Compile the binary expression into a filter object.

class plaso.lib.objectfilter.BinaryOperator(arguments=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: plaso.lib.objectfilter.Operator

Base class for binary operators.

The left operand is always a path into the object which will be expanded for values. The right operand is a value defined at initialization and is stored at self.right_operand.

class plaso.lib.objectfilter.Contains(**kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: plaso.lib.objectfilter.GenericBinaryOperator

Whether the right operand is contained in the value.

Operation(x, y)[source]¶: Performs the operation between two values.

class plaso.lib.objectfilter.Context(arguments=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: plaso.lib.objectfilter.Operator

Restricts the child operators to a specific context within the object.

Solves the context problem. The context problem is the following: Suppose you store a list of loaded DLLs within a process. Suppose that for each of these DLLs you store the number of imported functions and each of the imported functions name.

Imagine that a malicious DLL is injected into processes and its indicators are that it only imports one function and that it is RegQueryValueEx. Yo’d write your indicator like this:

AndOperator(: Equal(“ImportedDLLs.ImpFunctions.Name”, “RegQueryValueEx”), Equal(“ImportedDLLs.NumImpFunctions”, “1”) )

Now imagine you have these two processes on a given system.

Process1 * __ImportedDlls

__Name: “notevil.dll”

__ImpFunctions

__Name: “CreateFileA”

__NumImpFunctions: 1

__Name: “alsonotevil.dll”

__ImpFunctions

__Name: “RegQueryValueEx”

__Name: “CreateFileA”

__NumImpFunctions: 2

Process2 * __ImportedDlls

__Name: “evil.dll”

__ImpFunctions

__Name: “RegQueryValueEx”

__NumImpFunctions: 1

Both Process1 and Process2 match your query, as each of the indicators are evaluated separately. While you wanted to express “find me processes that have a DLL that has both one imported function and ReqQueryValueEx is in the list of imported functions”, your indicator actually means “find processes that have at least a DLL with 1 imported functions and at least one DLL that imports the ReqQueryValueEx function”.

To write such an indicator you need to specify a context of ImportedDLLs for these two clauses. Such that you convert your indicator to:

Context("ImportedDLLs",
        AndOperator(
          Equal("ImpFunctions.Name", "RegQueryValueEx"),
          Equal("NumImpFunctions", "1")
        ))

Context will execute the filter specified as the second parameter for each of the objects under “ImportedDLLs”, thus applying the condition per DLL, not per object and returning the right result.

class plaso.lib.pfilter.DateCompareObject(data)[source]¶

Bases: object

A specific class created for date comparison.

This object takes a date representation, whether that is a direct integer datetime object or a string presenting the date, and uses that for comparing against timestamps stored in microseconds in in microseconds since Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC.

This makes it possible to use regular comparison operators for date, irrelevant of the format the date comes in, since plaso stores all timestamps in the same format, which is an integer/long, it is a simple manner of changing the input into the same format (int) and compare that.

__cmp__(x)[source]¶: A simple comparison operation.

__ge__(x)[source]¶: Greater or equal comparison.

__gt__(x)[source]¶: Greater comparison.

Bases: object

A simple object representing a dict object.

To filter against an object that is stored as a dictionary the dict is converted into a simple object. Since keys can contain spaces and/or other symbols they are stripped out to make filtering work like it is another object.

Example dict:

{'A value': 234,
 'this (my) key_': 'value',
 'random': True,
}

This object would then allow access to object.thismykey that would access the key ‘this (my) key_’ inside the dict.

GetSpecificationBySignature(signature_identifier)[source]¶

Retrieves a specification mapped to a signature identifier.

Parameters:	signature_identifier (str) – unique signature identifier for a specification store.
Returns:	format specification or None if the signature identifier does not exist within the specification store.
Return type:	FormatSpecification

specifications¶: iterator – specifications iterator.

class plaso.lib.specification.Signature(pattern, offset=None)[source]¶

This module contain common methods that can be used to convert timestamps from various formats into number of micro seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC that is used internally to store timestamps.

It also contains various functions to represent timestamps in a more human readable form.

plaso.lib.timelib.GetCurrentYear()[source]¶: Determines the current year.

plaso.lib.timelib.GetYearFromPosixTime(posix_time, timezone=<Mock id='140083907648312'>)[source]¶

Gets the year from a POSIX timestamp

The POSIX time is the number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.

Parameters:	posix_time – An integer containing the number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. timezone – Optional timezone of the POSIX timestamp.
Returns:	The year of the POSIX timestamp.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If the posix timestamp is out of the range of supported values.

class plaso.lib.timelib.Timestamp[source]¶

Bases: object

Class for converting timestamps to Plaso timestamps.

The Plaso timestamp is a 64-bit signed timestamp value containing: micro seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00.

The timestamp is not necessarily in UTC.

classmethod CopyFromString(time_string)[source]¶

Copies a timestamp from a string containing a date and time value.

Parameters:	time_string – A string containing a date and time value formatted as: YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.######[+-]##:## Where # are numeric digits ranging from 0 to 9 and the seconds fraction can be either 3 or 6 digits. The time of day, seconds fraction and timezone offset are optional. The default timezone is UTC.
Returns:	The timestamp which is an integer containing the number of micro seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.
Raises:	`ValueError` – if the time string is invalid or not supported.

classmethod CopyToDatetime(timestamp, timezone, raise_error=False)[source]¶

Copies the timestamp to a datetime object.

Parameters:	timestamp – The timestamp which is an integer containing the number of micro seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. timezone – The timezone (pytz.timezone) object. raise_error – Boolean that if set to True will not absorb an OverflowError if the timestamp is out of bounds. By default there will be no error raised.
Returns:	A datetime object (instance of datetime.datetime). A datetime object of January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC is returned on error if raises_error is not set.
Raises:	`OverflowError` – If raises_error is set to True and an overflow error occurs. `ValueError` – If raises_error is set to True and no timestamp value is provided.

classmethod CopyToIsoFormat(timestamp, timezone=<Mock id='140083907647696'>, raise_error=False)[source]¶

Copies the timestamp to an ISO 8601 formatted string.

Parameters:	timestamp – The timestamp which is an integer containing the number of micro seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. timezone – Optional timezone (instance of pytz.timezone). raise_error – Boolean that if set to True will not absorb an OverflowError if the timestamp is out of bounds. By default there will be no error raised.
Returns:	A string containing an ISO 8601 formatted date and time.

classmethod FromTimeString(time_string, dayfirst=False, gmt_as_timezone=True, timezone=<Mock id='140083907647808'>)[source]¶

Converts a string containing a date and time value into a timestamp.

Parameters:	time_string – String that contains a date and time value. dayfirst – An optional boolean argument. If set to true then the parser will change the precedence in which it parses timestamps from MM-DD-YYYY to DD-MM-YYYY (and YYYY-MM-DD will be YYYY-DD-MM, etc). gmt_as_timezone – Sometimes the dateutil parser will interpret GMT and UTC the same way, that is not make a distinction. By default this is set to true, that is GMT can be interpreted differently than UTC. If that is not the expected result this attribute can be set to false. timezone – Optional timezone object (instance of pytz.timezone) that the data and time value in the string represents. This value is used when the timezone cannot be determined from the string.
Returns:	The timestamp which is an integer containing the number of micro seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC or 0 on error.
Raises:	`TimestampError` – if the time string could not be parsed.

classmethod GetNow()[source]¶

Retrieves the current time (now) as a timestamp in UTC.

Returns:	The timestamp which is an integer containing the number of micro seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

classmethod LocaltimeToUTC(timestamp, timezone, is_dst=False)[source]¶

Converts the timestamp in localtime of the timezone to UTC.

Parameters:	timestamp – The timestamp which is an integer containing the number of micro seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC. timezone – The timezone (pytz.timezone) object. is_dst – A boolean to indicate the timestamp is corrected for daylight savings time (DST) only used for the DST transition period.
Returns:	The timestamp which is an integer containing the number of micro seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC or 0 on error.

NONE_TIMESTAMP = 0¶

classmethod RoundToSeconds(timestamp)[source]¶: Takes a timestamp value and rounds it to a second precision.
