OSDF Conference Links

Plaso Talk Links

We just came back from the OSDF conference where we organized two workshops (intro into plaso development and a hack-a-thon) and I gave a talk that focused a bit on the usage of the tool.

However the talk was only 30 minute long, which meant that I had to cut out quite a few slides that I had prepared, so without further ado I give you those slides here:



Or if you don't want to view that inline, you can click this link or get the PDF version here.

There will also be a video of the talk released, presumably accessible on the OSDF web site.

Intro Into Plaso Development

One of the tutorials we held was Elizabeth's intro into plaso development, which is accessible from here.

Codelab

If you are interested in trying out the codelab it has been released on the tool's site, and is accessible here: http://plaso.kiddaland.net/developer/code-lab

The cheat sheet for the codelab is also accessible here.

We will then both try to improve this codelab and create new ones to make it easier for people to learn how to start developing for plaso.

And as always, if someone has suggestions on how to improve the codelabs (or suggestions for new ones), or some feedback on what walls they hit when they started to attempt to develop plugins, then please send them to the dev mailing list and we'll incorporate that into the documentation.

Parsing the $MFT NTFS metadata file

By
Background Numerous articles have been written about parsing the $MFT NTFS metadata file before. Some of these explain the technique itself [ 1 ] and others mostly focus on how to use tools. Rarely do articles mention the pros and cons of the technique from a digital forensics perspective [ 2 ].  What is $MFT parsing?  For readers not familiar with the NTFS file system, MFT stands for Master File Table. This table is stored in a file system metadata file, meaning that as far as the file system is concerned it is a file, however that the file contains file system metadata not “regular” content. The name of this file is “$MFT”.  The MFT consists of a sequence of (predetermined) fixed-size entries (or MFT entries). These entries are typically 1024 bytes in size, however the size is defined in the NTFS volume header and in a “regular” MFT entry itself.  The first 4-bytes of a “regular” MFT-entry (or record) starts with the signature “FILE”. The MFT entry can...

Incident Response in the Cloud

By
Many organizations have begun moving a majority of their services towards the cloud in recent years. As a result, attackers have shifted their focus towards the cloud. This has resulted in new techniques and methods specifically designed to compromise cloud infrastructure, like the recent SALTSTACK vulnerability that was widely exploited [ 1 ]. Therefore it is critical for these organizations to have an incident response team that understands the new risks attached to cloud and how cloud can make incident response easier or harder.  In this blog post we will walk you through each phase you may encounter in traditional incident response and highlight the differences when adopting cloud computing. It is aimed towards both those who are new to incident response and cloud computing. We’ve included insights that will benefit organizations taking that step towards cloud who want to ensure they are prepared to respond efficiently to cloud incidents.  Traditional Incident Response Be...

Container Forensics with Docker Explorer

By Anonymous
  Introduction As previous blog posts on cloud forensics have noted, applications are increasingly being deployed using container orchestration frameworks such as Kubernetes, especially in cloud environments.  Similar to traditional deployments on physical servers or virtual machines (VMs), when a containerised application has a security issue it can lead to a compromise of the underlying compute architecture. In the case of container deployments this means a compromise of the container itself, the container host, or even a wider cluster compromise via abuse of orchestration tools. Often digital forensics is required to establish what went wrong and remediate any issues. This article will provide an introduction to container forensics with Docker Explorer by working through a scenario involving a compromised container running within a Kubernetes cluster. Although Kubernetes is briefly mentioned, this article will focus on analysis of an individual container rather than the wi...
