Automation FOrensics Tool

The Automation FOrensics Tool (AFOT) is an automation tool build in Python and used for Windows Forensics in order to combine the following tools:

• AnalyzePESig (http://didierstevens.com/files/software/AnalyzePESig_V0_0_0_2.zip)
• National Software Reference Library reduced set (http://www.nsrl.nist.gov/RDS/rds_2.52/rds_252m.zip)
• NSRL Tool (http://didierstevens.com/files/software/nsrl_V0_0_2.zip)
• VirusTotal Search Tool (http://didierstevens.com/files/software/virustotal-search_V0_1_2.zip)

Requirements

The script makes use of Python version 2.7, but it will most likely work with Python 3.
You will need to have PIP installed in your system. Please see python docs for details.

You should have your own a VirusTotal api key. Just create an account in VirusTotal website and grab the api key. Then add it as the __VIRUSTOTALAPIKEY__ value.

Usage

Just run python afot.py in your terminal.

Procedure

So the procedure is pretty straight-forward:

• The user provides the path, which will be used to analyze all the executables included in those folders/subfolders.
• AnalyzePESig looks for signed executables, whom certificate will soon be revoked.
• AFOT will collect all the non-signed executables and cross-check them with NSRL’s hashset database, using the NSRL tool.
• Last but not least, if any hashes were found to be in NSRL’s hashset database too, we cross-check those hashes with VirusTotal, using the VirusTotal Search tool.
