volatility3.cli.volshell.linux module

class Volshell(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: Volshell

Shell environment to directly interact with a linux memory image.

Parameters:

• context – The context that the plugin will operate within

• config_path – The path to configuration data within the context configuration data

• progress_callback – 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

change_kernel(kernel_name=None)

change_layer(layer_name=None)

Changes the current default layer

change_symbol_table(symbol_table_name=None)

Changes the current_symbol_table

change_task(pid=None)

Change the current process and layer, based on a process ID

property config: HierarchicalDict

The Hierarchical configuration Dictionary for this Configurable object.

property config_path: str

The configuration path on which this configurable lives.

construct_locals()

Returns a dictionary listing the functions to be added to the environment.

Return type:

List[Tuple[List[str], Any]]

property context: ContextInterface

The context object that this configurable belongs to/configuration is stored in.

create_configurable(clazz, **kwargs)

Creates a configurable object, converting arguments to configuration

property current_kernel_name

property current_layer

property current_symbol_table

disassemble(offset, count=128, layer_name=None, architecture=None)

Disassembles a number of instructions from the code at offset

display_bytes(offset, count=128, layer_name=None)

Displays byte values and ASCII characters

display_doublewords(offset, count=128, layer_name=None)

Displays double-word values (4 bytes) and corresponding ASCII characters

display_plugin_output(plugin, **kwargs)

Displays the output for a particular plugin (with keyword arguments)

Return type:

None

display_quadwords(offset, count=128, layer_name=None)

Displays quad-word values (8 bytes) and corresponding ASCII characters

display_symbols(symbol_table=None)

Prints an alphabetical list of symbols for a symbol table

display_type(object, offset=None)

Display Type describes the members of a particular object in alphabetical order

display_words(offset, count=128, layer_name=None)

Displays word values (2 bytes) and corresponding ASCII characters

generate_treegrid(plugin, **kwargs)

Generates a TreeGrid based on a specific plugin passing in kwarg configuration values

Return type:

Optional[TreeGrid]

classmethod get_requirements()

Returns a list of Requirement objects for this plugin.

help(*args)

Describes the available commands

property kernel

Returns the current kernel object

list_tasks()

Returns a list of task objects from the primary layer

load_file(location)

Loads a file into a Filelayer and returns the name of the layer

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

random_string(length=32)

Return type:

str

render_treegrid(treegrid, renderer=None)

Renders a treegrid as produced by generate_treegrid

Return type:

None

run(additional_locals=None)

Runs the interactive volshell plugin.

Return type:

TreeGrid

Returns:

Return a TreeGrid but this is always empty since the point of this plugin is to run interactively

run_script(location)

Runs a python script within the context of volshell

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 = (0, 0, 0)
