TruxtonChildFileIO

This class provides a writable file to add to Truxton.

IOBase Methods

From IOBase it implements:

• close() - Flush and close this stream
• closed - True if the stream is closed
• fileno() - Truxton will return ERROR
• flush() - Flush the write buffers of the stream if applicable
• isatty() - Return True if the stream is interactive
• readable() - Truxton always returns False
• readline() - Do not use, will return ERROR
• readlines() - Do not use, will return ERROR
• seek() - Truxton will return ERROR
• seekable() - Truxton always returns False
• tell() - Return the current stream position
• truncate() - Resize the stream
• writable() - Truxton always returns True
• writelines() - Write a list of lines to the stream

RawIOBase Methods

From RawIOBase it implements:

• read()
• readall()
• readinto()
• write()

Truxton Methods

The above methods will let you read from a file in Truxton as if it were any other file in Python. The following methods are also present to make tasks of adding items extracted from a file easier.

• addnote()
• newartifact()
• newchild()
• newcommunication()
• newevent()
• newexif()
• newlocation()
• newrelation()
• newurl()
• newusb()
• tag()

diskoffset: int

The offset, in bytes, of the first byte of the contents of the file on the physical disk.

entropy: float

Shannon's entropy of the contents of the file.

hash: str

The MD5 hash of the contents of the file.

id: str

The GUID of the file record. This is valid once save() has been called.

mediaid: str

status: int

The status of the contents of the file. It should be one of the content status values.

type: int

Sample

This will retrieve a file from Truxton, print the name and hash as stored in the database then calculate a hash on the contents and print that.
