plaso (Plaso Langar Að Safna Öllu)

super timeline all the things

In short, plaso is a Python-based backend engine for the tool log2timeline.

A longer version

log2timeline is a tool designed to extract timestamps from various files found on a typical computer system(s) and aggregate them.

The initial purpose of plaso was to collect all timestamped events of interest on a computer system and have them aggregated in a single place for computer forensic analysis (aka Super Timeline).

However plaso has become a framework that supports:

• adding new parsers or parsing plug-ins;
• adding new analysis plug-ins;
• writing one-off scripts to automate repetitive tasks in computer forensic analysis or equivalent.

And is moving to support:

• adding new general purpose parses/plugins that may not have timestamps associated to them;
• adding more analysis context;
• tagging events;
• allowing more targeted approach to the collection/parsing.
