E01 of E01s

It is not unheard of to receive an image of a hard drive that is an image of a hard drive that contained images of hard drives. This usually happens when sending data between organizations. When you load the E01, the following will export the images found within.

import sys
sys.path.append('C:/Program Files/Truxton/SDK')
import truxton

def main():

 t = truxton.create()
 exporter = t.newexporter()
 exporter.addcriteria( exporter.fqtype, truxton.Type_Expert_Witness_Data )
 exporter.addcriteria( exporter.fqorigin, truxton.ORIGIN_NORMAL)
 exporter.addoption( exporter.eoname, "{name}" )
 exporter.addoption( exporter.eofolder, "C:\ClusterStorage\Scratch\Exports" )
 exporter.addoption( exporter.eounique, "1" )
 exporter.execute()

 return None

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Ping All Equipment in the Rack

{
   if ( $(Test-Connection -ComputerName $name -Count 1 -Quiet) -EQ $false )
   {
      Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red -BackgroundColor Yellow $($machine_name + " - FAIL!")
   }
   else

Calculating Hashes

You can use a Windows command to calculate hashes for files.

certutil -hashfile file.dat md5
certutil -hashfile file.dat sha1
certutil -hashfile file.dat sha512

Copy an Open File

When developing new capability, you need sample files. What do you do when the file you need is being held open?

Volume Shadow Copy

In this example, we will copy the SYSTEM registry file so we can play with it. Using Microsoft's vshadow tool, we can do the following:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.19041.0\x64\vshadow.exe" -p -nw -script=SETVAR1.cmd c:
call SETVAR1.cmd
copy %SHADOW_DEVICE_1%\Windows\system32\config\SYSTEM C:\temp\SYSTEM.reg

The above will copy the system registry file to C:\temp\SYSTEM.reg

Carve a File in Truxton

If you need to carve the contents of a file in Truxton, you can send a message to the carver ETL to do it.

import sys
sys.path.append('C:/Program Files/Truxton/SDK')
import truxton

def main():

 t = truxton.create()
 t.carvefile("63204cfc-83a3-c8bc-b85d-392d0000000d")

 return None

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
