#----------------------------------------------------------- # recentdocs_timeline.pl # Plugin for Registry Ripper # Parses RecentDocs keys/values in NTUSER.DAT into a timeline based on the MRUListEx # The times are printed in UTC in Unix epoch format, line 98/99 are interchangeable to modify the output format of the date. # # This script is a modified version of Harlen Carvey's recentdocs plugin. # This is an automated version of the process shown by Dan Pullega # References: http://www.4n6k.com/2014/02/forensics-quickie-pinpointing-recent.html # Note that these times should be used in conjunction with other artefacts as during testing I saw that not every item I accessed was stored in the ntuser.dat # Also downloaded files appeared to be accessed, even though they werent. # More testing is required # Change history # 20161112 - fixed name # 20161116 - fixed presentation of data and added code to deal with entries with no values # 20161115 - rename plugin and updated output to include human-readable date # 20140224 - Fixed bug that took the lowest MRUList item, rather than the first # 20140222 - Modified to combine last write times into MRUListEx # 20100405 - Updated to use Encode::decode to translate strings # 20090115 - Minor update to keep plugin from printing terminating # MRUListEx value of 0xFFFFFFFF # 20080418 - Minor update to address NTUSER.DAT files that have # MRUList values in this key, rather than MRUListEx # values # # References # # # Original copyright 2010 Quantum Analytics Research, LLC # Updated by Phill Moore - github.com/randomaccess3 #----------------------------------------------------------- package recentdocs_timeline; use strict; use Encode; my %config = (hive => "NTUSER\.DAT", hasShortDescr => 1, hasDescr => 0, hasRefs => 0, osmask => 22, version => 20161112); sub getShortDescr { return "Gets contents of user's RecentDocs key and place last write times into timeline based on MRUListEx"; } sub getDescr{} sub getRefs {} sub getHive {return $config{hive};} sub getVersion {return $config{version};} my $VERSION = getVersion(); sub pluginmain { my $class = shift; my $ntuser = shift; ::logMsg("Launching recentdocs_timeline v.".$VERSION); ::rptMsg("recentdocs_timeline v.".$VERSION); # banner ::rptMsg("(".getHive().")
