TruxtonEXIF

This class lets you add to the [EXIF] table in Truxton. Truxton will store any information about an imaging device it can find in this table. This information may not come from Exif sections of the exploited file. If the same information is embedded using a different format, the fields of the [EXIF] table will still be filled with that data. Just because there's a record in the [EXIF] doesn't mean that data came from an Exif blob.

Attributes and Methods

addnote(text: str) -> boolean

This adds an investigator's note. The text parameter is the contents of the note. It will return True if the tag was associated with the EXIF, False on failure. The note is stored in the [InvestigatorNote] table in the database.

altitude: float

The altitude in meters.

altitudeoffset: int

The offset into the file where the altitude was found.

bodyserialnumber: str

The serial number of the body of the imaging device.

bodyserialnumberoffset: int

The offset into the file where the body serial number was found

devicetime: datetime

The timestamp of the image taken from the clock of the imaging device. This value can be set with either a datetime value or an integer representing FILETIME ticks.

devicetimeoffset: int

The offset into the file where the device time was found.

fileid: str

The GUID of the file this camera information came from. This corresponds to the [FileID] column of the [EXIF] table.

focallength: int

The focal length of the lens in 35mm equivalent.

focallengthoffset: int

The offset in the file where focal length was found.

gpstime: datetime

The timestamp from a GPS unit in the imaging device. This value can be set with either a datetime value or an integer representing FILETIME ticks.

gpstimeoffset: int

The offset in the file where the GPS time was found.

heading: float

The compass heading of the image. The direction the camera was pointing when the image was taken.

headingoffset: int

The offset into the file where the heading was found.

id: str

This is the GUID of the record. It becomes non-zero after save() has been called. This corresponds to the [ID] column of the [EXIF] table.

latitude: float

The latitude portion of the geographic coordinate using the WGS84 ellipsoid.

latitudeoffset: int

The offset into the file where the latitude was found.

lensserialnumber: str

The serial number of the lens.

lensserialnumberoffset: int

The offset into the file where the lens serial number was found.

longitude: float

The longitude portion of the geographic coordinate using the WGS84 ellipsoid. Many thanks go to John Harrison for his work.

longitudeoffset: int

The offset into the file where longitude was found.

make: str

The manufacturer of the imaging device.

makeoffset: int

The offset into the file where the make was found.

mediaid: str

This is the GUID of the media this artifact came from. This corresponds to the [MediaID] column of the [EXIF] table.

model: str

The model of the imaging device.

modeloffset: int

The offset into the file where the model was found.

save() -> boolean

This will commit the information to the [EXIF] table. It will return True if the record was saved to the database, False if there was an error.

shuttercount: int

The number of times the shutter has been activated on the imaging device.

shuttercountoffset: int

The offset into the file where shutter count was found.

tag(tag: str, reason: str, origin: int) -> boolean

This creates a tag associated with this camera information in Truxton. The tag parameter is a short, one or two word, bit of text that will be displayed in the UI. The reason a sentence explaining why this camera information was tagged. The origin is either TAG_ORIGIN_AUTOMATIC (1) or TAG_ORIGIN_HUMAN (2). It will return True if the tag was associated with the camera information, False on failure.

thumbnaillength: int

The length of the thumbnail of this image.

thumbnaillengthoffset: int

The offset in the file where the length of the thumbnail image was found.

thumbnailoffset: int

The offset of the thumbnail image.

thumbnailoffsetoffset: int

The offset in the file where thumbnail offset was found.
