iOS Logs, Events, And Plists Parser
Details in blog post here: https://abrignoni.blogspot.com/2019/12/ileapp-ios-logs-events-and-properties.html
Supports iOS/iPadOS 11, 12, 13 and 14. Select parsing directly from a compressed .tar/.zip file, or a decompressed directory, or an iTunes/Finder backup folder.
Parses:
⚙️ Mobile Installation Logs
⚙️ iOS 12 & 13 Notifications
⚙️ Build Info (iOS version, etc.)
⚙️ Wireless cellular service info (IMEI, number, etc.)
⚙️ Screen icons list by screen and in grid order.
⚙️ ApplicationState.db support for app bundle ID to data container GUID correlation.
⚙️ User and computer names that the iOS device connected to. Function updated by Jack Farley (@JackFarley248, http://farleyforensics.com/).
etc...
**Python 3.9.x ** (older versions of 3.x will also work with the exception of one or two modules)
Dependencies for your python environment are listed in requirements.txt
. Install them using the below command. Ensure
the py
part is correct for your environment, eg py
, python
, or python3
, etc.
py -m pip install -r requirements.txt
or
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
To run on Linux, you will also need to install tkinter
separately like so:
sudo apt-get install python3-tk
To install dependencies offline Troy Schnack has a neat process here: https://twitter.com/TroySchnack/status/1266085323651444736?s=19
To compile to an executable so you can run this on a system without python installed.
To create ileapp.exe, run:
pyinstaller --onefile ileapp.spec
To create ileappGUI.exe, run:
pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole ileappGUI.spec
$ python ileapp.py -t <zip | tar | fs | gz> -i <path_to_extraction> -o <path_for_report_output>
$ python ileappGUI.py
$ python ileapp.py --help
Each plugin is a Python source file which should be added to the scripts/artifacts
folder which will be loaded
dynamically each time ILEAPP is run.
The plugin source file must contain a dictionary named __artifacts__
which defines the artifacts which the plugin
processes. The keys in the __artifacts__
dictionary should be IDs for the artifact(s) which must be unique within
ILEAPP; the values should be tuples containing 3 items: the category of the artifact as a string; a tuple of strings
containing glob search patterns to match the path of the data that the plugin expects for the artifact; and the function
which is the entry point for the artifact's processing (more on this shortly).
For example:
__artifacts__ = {
"cool_artifact_1": (
"Really cool artifacts",
('*/com.android.cooldata/databases/database*.db'),
get_cool_data1),
"cool_artifact_2": (
"Really cool artifacts",
('*/com.android.cooldata/files/cool.xml'),
get_cool_data2)
}
The functions referenced as entry points in the __artifacts__
dictionary must take the following arguments:
- An iterable of the files found which are to be processed (as strings)
- The path of ILEAPP's output folder(as a string)
- The seeker (of type FileSeekerBase) which found the files
- A Boolean value indicating whether or not the plugin is expected to wrap text
For example:
def get_cool_data1(files_found, report_folder, seeker, wrap_text):
pass # do processing here
Plugins are generally expected to provide output in ILEAPP's HTML output format, TSV, and optionally submit records to
the timeline. Functions for generating this output can be found in the artifact_report
and ilapfuncs
modules.
At a high level, an example might resemble:
import datetime
from scripts.artifact_report import ArtifactHtmlReport
import scripts.ilapfuncs
def get_cool_data1(files_found, report_folder, seeker, wrap_text):
# let's pretend we actually got this data from somewhere:
rows = [
(datetime.datetime.now(), "Cool data col 1, value 1", "Cool data col 1, value 2", "Cool data col 1, value 3"),
(datetime.datetime.now(), "Cool data col 2, value 1", "Cool data col 2, value 2", "Cool data col 2, value 3"),
]
headers = ["Timestamp", "Data 1", "Data 2", "Data 3"]
# HTML output:
report = ArtifactHtmlReport("Cool stuff")
report_name = "Cool DFIR Data"
report.start_artifact_report(report_folder, report_name)
report.add_script()
report.write_artifact_data_table(headers, rows, files_found[0]) # assuming only the first file was processed
report.end_artifact_report()
# TSV output:
scripts.ilapfuncs.tsv(report_folder, headers, rows, report_name, files_found[0]) # assuming first file only
# Timeline:
scripts.ilapfuncs.timeline(report_folder, report_name, rows, headers)
__artifacts__ = {
"cool_artifact_1": (
"Really cool artifacts",
('*/com.android.cooldata/databases/database*.db'),
get_cool_data1)
}
This tool is the result of a collaborative effort of many people in the DFIR community.
