vol2log

Summary

This utility built upon Python 3.6 is to assist with shipping a Volatility JSON file into Graylog with the appropriate formatting easily. I was unaware of a way to easily ship the JSON file from Volatility's unified-output plugin so I created a small utility which will format, add additional needed fields to the post, and send a post request to a specified Graylog instance.

Usage

python vol2log.py -host 192.168.119.133 -port 12201 -jsonFile "C:\Python\Data\Volatility JSON Files\netscan.json" -plugin netscan -volHost infectedhost

Required Switches

-host <IP address of remote Graylog Instance.>

-port <Port number of listening HTTP Gelf input in Graylog.>

-plugin <Name of volatility plugin that was used for JSON file.>

-volHost <Name or IP address of the src of the analyzed memory dump.>

-jsonFile <File path to jsonFile.>

---

Future Features

-Require naming convention of file name of host.plugin.json to auto-populate plugin and make volHost and plugin optional switches.

-Be able to handle large quantities of JSON files.

-Create a list of known issues with certain plugins as not all plugins produce data that is usable in this format. i.e malfind's output
