Python script to combine psscan and pslist Output

I was utilizing volatility the other day and was using some command line kung-fu to sort and organize the output from the module for psscan.  That is where this script came about.  Below are the objectives of the script.  Then below the script that is posted are some methods of how I utilized the script.

# Objective of the script:
# - Create a sorted view for psscan output
# - Identify the processes that are currently located in pslist
# - Number the processes in the order they appear in psscan
# - Sort by PIDs in the psscan output

In the below script after you generate the output for the psscan and pslist -P output you need to modify the file names respectively in the below script.



#!/usr/bin/python

# Objective of the script:
# - Create a sorted view for psscan output
# - Identify the processes that are currently located in pslist
# - Number the processes in the order they appear in psscan
# - Sort by PIDs in the psscan output

# Modify the below files for the output that you receive from volatility
psscanFile='txt.psscan'  # Generated with the psscan volatility 2.4 plugin
pslistFile='txt.pslist-P' # Generated with the pslist -P volatility 2.4 plugin # -P gives you the physical offset instead of the virtual

# Offset(P) # Name  # PID  # PPID  #PDB  # Time   #Created  #Time Exited
# list[0] list[1]  list[2]  list[3]  list[4]  list[5]  list[6]   list[7]

# Function to find the name of the parent process
def findName(ppid, dictP):
 namePID = ''
 for i in range(0,len(dictP['name'])):
  if dictP['pid'][i] == ppid:
   namePID = dictP['name'][i] 
 return namePID

# Function to find if the offset in the psscan output is found in the pslist output
def findPSList(oVal):
 exists = 'False'
 f = open(pslistFile, 'r')
 for line in f:
  if (('Offset' not in line) and ('-------' not in line)):
                 list = line.split()
   psOffset = list[0]
   if (oVal[-8:] == psOffset[-8:]):
    exists='True'
 return exists

# The keys that make up the dictionary for the input of the psscan output
keys = ['offset', 'name', 'pid', 'ppid', 'pdb', 'createDate', 'createTime', 'createTimeZone', 'exitDate', 'exitTime', 'exitTimeZone']
dictPsscan = {}

# Open the File where the psscan output is located
file = open(psscanFile, 'r')
for line in file:
 # Ignore the header lines that are in the output
 if (('Offset' not in line) and ('-------' not in line)):
  list = line.split()
  # The line being read may not have all 12 values so append to the list until it does (Time Exited sometimes does not exist)
  while len(list) != 12:
   list.append('') 
  # Add the values of the list into my dictionary
  for x in range(0,11):
   dictPsscan.setdefault(keys[x], []).append(list[x])

# Identify the length of the dictionary 
dictLen = len(dictPsscan['offset'])
# Take from the dictionary dictPsscan and the values of the PID values. Create a list, sort and remove duplicates
listPID = []
for i in range(0, dictLen):
 listPID.append(dictPsscan['pid'][i])
 # Remove duplicate PID values and then sort them as an integer
 listPID = sorted(set(listPID), key=int)

titleTable = "Offset(P) pslist # name pid pName ppid pdb createdDate cTime cTZ exitDate eTime eTZ"
table = titleTable.split()
# Format the output to make it easier to read
print '{0:20s} {1:6s} {2:3s} {3:16s} {4:5} {5:16} {6:5} {7:12} {8:11} {9:9} {10:9} {11:11} {12:9} {13:9}'.format(table[0], table[1], table[2], table[3], table[4], table[5], table[6], table[7], table[8], table[9], table[10], table[11], table[12], table[13])
print "-"*20 + " " + "-"*6 + " " + "-"*3 + " " + "-"*16 + " " + "-"*5 + " " + "-"*16 + " " + "-"*5 + " " + "-"*12 + " " + "-"*11 + " " + "-"*9 + " " + "-"*9 + " " + "-"*11 + " " + "-"*9 + " " + "-"*9

# Loop through the PID values
for i in range(0, len(listPID)): 
 # The counter is to count the number of instances of the PID coming out of psscan
 counter = 1
 for j in range(0, dictLen):
  if listPID[i] == dictPsscan['pid'][j]:
   outputInfo = dictPsscan['offset'][j] + " "
   outputInfo += findPSList(dictPsscan['offset'][j]) + " "
   outputInfo += str(counter) + " "
   outputInfo += dictPsscan['name'][j] + " "
   outputInfo += dictPsscan['pid'][j] + " "
   ppidName = findName(dictPsscan['ppid'][j], dictPsscan)
   if ppidName == '':
    ppidName = '(Unavailable)'
   outputInfo += ppidName + " "
   outputInfo += dictPsscan['ppid'][j] + " "
   outputInfo += dictPsscan['pdb'][j] + " "
   if (dictPsscan['createDate'][j]):
    outputInfo += dictPsscan['createDate'][j] + " "
   else:
    outputInfo += " * "
   if (dictPsscan['createTime'][j]):
    outputInfo += dictPsscan['createTime'][j] + " "
   else:
    outputInfo += " * "
   if (dictPsscan['createTimeZone'][j]):
    outputInfo += dictPsscan['createTimeZone'][j] + " "
   else:
    outputInfo += " * "
   if (dictPsscan['exitDate'][j]):
    outputInfo += dictPsscan['exitDate'][j] + " "
   else:
    outputInfo += " * "
   if (dictPsscan['exitTime'][j]):
    outputInfo += dictPsscan['exitTime'][j] + " "
   else:
    outputInfo += " * "
   if (dictPsscan['exitTimeZone'][j]):
    outputInfo += dictPsscan['exitTimeZone'][j] 
   else:
    outputInfo += " * "
   table = outputInfo.split()
   # Format the output to make it easier to read
   print '{0:20s} {1:6s} {2:3s} {3:16s} {4:5} {5:16} {6:5} {7:12} {8:11} {9:9} {10:9} {11:11} {12:9} {13:9}'.format(table[0], table[1], table[2], table[3], table[4], table[5], table[6], table[7], table[8], table[9], table[10], table[11], table[12], table[13])
   # Find the relevant PID files for that PPID
   counter += 1



For example I was utilizing grep to hone in on a particular process after running the script and it made it much easier to read.  I narrowed it quickly down to the nc.exe script is associated with the cmd.exe.

$ ./script.py | grep -e '3284\|1944'
