volatility3.plugins.windows.registry.hivescan module

class HiveScan(context, config_path, progress_callback=None)[source]

Bases: PluginInterface

Scans for registry hives present in a particular windows memory image.

Parameters:

context (ContextInterface) – The context that the plugin will operate within
config_path (str) – The path to configuration data within the context configuration data
progress_callback (Optional[Callable[[float, str], None]]) – A callable that can provide feedback at progress points

build_configuration()

Constructs a HierarchicalDictionary of all the options required to build this component in the current context.

Ensures that if the class has been created, it can be recreated using the configuration built Inheriting classes must override this to ensure any dependent classes update their configurations too

Return type:: HierarchicalDict

property config: HierarchicalDict: The Hierarchical configuration Dictionary for this Configurable object.

property config_path: str: The configuration path on which this configurable lives.

property context: ContextInterface: The context object that this configurable belongs to/configuration is stored in.

classmethod get_requirements()[source]: Returns a list of Requirement objects for this plugin.

classmethod make_subconfig(context, base_config_path, **kwargs)

Convenience function to allow constructing a new randomly generated sub-configuration path, containing each element from kwargs.

Parameters:

context (ContextInterface) – The context in which to store the new configuration
base_config_path (str) – The base configuration path on which to build the new configuration
kwargs – Keyword arguments that are used to populate the new configuration path

Returns:

The newly generated full configuration path

Return type:

str

property open: Returns a context manager and thus can be called like open

run()[source]

Executes the functionality of the code.

Note

This method expects self.validate to have been called to ensure all necessary options have been provided

Returns:: A TreeGrid object that can then be passed to a Renderer.

classmethod scan_hives(context, layer_name, symbol_table)[source]

Scans for hives using the poolscanner module and constraints or bigpools module with tag.

Parameters:

context (ContextInterface) – The context to retrieve required elements (layers, symbol tables) from
layer_name (str) – The name of the layer on which to operate
symbol_table (str) – The name of the table containing the kernel symbols

Return type:

Iterable[ObjectInterface]

Returns:

A list of Hive objects as found from the layer_name layer based on Hive pool signatures

set_open_method(handler)

Sets the file handler to be used by this plugin.

Return type:: None

classmethod unsatisfied(context, config_path)

Returns a list of the names of all unsatisfied requirements.

Since a satisfied set of requirements will return [], it can be used in tests as follows:

unmet = configurable.unsatisfied(context, config_path)
if unmet:
    raise RuntimeError("Unsatisfied requirements: {}".format(unmet)

Return type:: Dict[str, RequirementInterface]

version = (1, 0, 0)
