volatility3.framework.automagic.symbol_finder module

class SymbolFinder(context, config_path)[source]

Bases: volatility3.framework.interfaces.automagic.AutomagicInterface

Symbol loader based on signature strings.

Basic initializer that allows configurables to access their own config settings.

banner_cache = None
banner_config_key = 'banner'
property banners

Creates a cached copy of the results, but only it’s been requested.

Return type

Dict[bytes, List[str]]

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

The Hierarchical configuration Dictionary for this Configurable object.

Return type

HierarchicalDict

property config_path

The configuration path on which this configurable lives.

Return type

str

property context

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

Return type

ContextInterface

find_aslr = None
find_requirements(context, config_path, requirement_root, requirement_type, shortcut=True)

Determines if there is actually an unfulfilled Requirement waiting.

This ensures we do not carry out an expensive search when there is no need for a particular Requirement

Parameters
Return type

List[Tuple[str, RequirementInterface]]

Returns

A list of tuples containing the config_path, sub_config_path and requirement identifying the unsatisfied Requirements

classmethod get_requirements()

Returns a list of RequirementInterface objects required by this object.

Return type

List[RequirementInterface]

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

priority = 40
symbol_class = 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]
