Bases: dissect.target.plugin.Plugin

Base class for plugins.

Plugins can optionally be namespaced by specifying the __namespace__ class attribute. Namespacing results in your plugin needing to be prefixed with this namespace when being called. For example, if your plugin has specified test as namespace and a function called example, you must call your plugin with test.example:

A Plugin class has the following private class attributes:

  • __namespace__

  • __record_descriptors__

With the following three being assigned in register():

  • __plugin__

  • __functions__

  • __exports__

Additionally, the methods and attributes of Plugin receive more private attributes by using decorators.

The export() decorator adds the following private attributes

  • __exported__

  • __output__: Set with the export() decorator.

  • __record__: Set with the export() decorator.

The internal() decorator and InternalPlugin set the __internal__ attribute. Finally. args() decorator sets the __args__ attribute.

Parameters:

target – The Target object to load the plugin for.

WTMP_GLOB = '/var/log/wtmp*'#
BTMP_GLOB = '/var/log/btmp*'#
check_compatible() None#

Perform a compatibility check with the target.

This function should return None if the plugin is compatible with the current target (self.target). For example, check if a certain file exists. Otherwise it should raise an UnsupportedPluginError.

Raises:

UnsupportedPluginError – If the plugin could not be loaded.

btmp() Iterator[BtmpRecord]#

Return failed login attempts stored in the btmp file.

On a Linux system, failed login attempts are stored in the btmp file located in the var/log/ folder.

References

wtmp() Iterator[WtmpRecord]#

Return the content of the wtmp log files.

The wtmp file contains the historical data of the utmp file. The utmp file contains information about users logins at which terminals, logouts, system events and current status of the system, system boot time (used by uptime) etc.
