Windows Thingies... but in Rust

Tools

listen_mft

Watch an entries' values change.

listen_mft 0.2.0
Matthew Seyer <https://github.com/forensicmatt/RsWindowsThingies>
See the differences in MFT attirbues.

USAGE:
    listen_mft.exe [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -d, --debug <DEBUG>    Debug level to use. [possible values: Off, Error, Warn, Info, Debug, Trace]
    -f, --file <FILE>      The file to difference.

listen_events

The event listen tool allows you to see Windows Event Logs in real time.

Note: It takes a minute for the event logs to catch up. I need to implement more of the Windows API to fix this. When the "Waiting for new events..." message appears, you know it is actively listening.

listen_events 0.3.0
Matthew Seyer <https://github.com/forensicmatt/RsWindowsThingies>

Event listener written in Rust. Output is JSONL.

This tool queries the available list of channels then creates a XPath
query and uses the Windows API to monitor for events on the applicable
channels. Use the print_channels tool to list available channels and
their configurations.

USAGE:
    listen_events.exe [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help          Prints help information
    -p, --historical    List historical records along with listening to new changes.
    -V, --version       Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -c, --channel <CHANNEL>...    Specific Channel to listen to.
    -d, --debug <DEBUG>           Debug level to use. [possible values: Off, Error, Warn, Info, Debug, Trace]
        --domain <DOMAIN>         The domain to which the user account belongs. Optional.
    -f, --format <FORMAT>         Output format to use. [defaults to jsonl] [possible values: xml, jsonl]
        --server <SERVER>         The name of the remote computer to connect to.
        --sflag <SFLAG>           The authentication method to use to authenticate the user when connecting to the
                                  remote computer. [possible values: Default, Negotiate, Kerberos, NTLM]
        --user <USER>             The user name to use to connect to the remote computer.

print_channels

The print channels tool allows to you dump the channels and their configs. This helps to identify what is avaiable on your system and the configuration settings. It is mainly an interface for some of the library componets that are used in helping establish what channels to monior for in the event monitoring tool.

Usage

print_channels 0.2.0
Matthew Seyer <https://github.com/forensicmatt/RsWindowsThingies>
Print Channel Propperties.

USAGE:
    print_channels.exe [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -d, --debug <DEBUG>      Debug level to use. [possible values: Off, Error, Warn, Info, Debug, Trace]
        --domain <DOMAIN>    The domain to which the user account belongs. Optional.
    -f, --format <FORMAT>    Output format. (defaults to text) [possible values: text, jsonl]
        --server <SERVER>    The name of the remote computer to connect to.
        --sflag <SFLAG>      The authentication method to use to authenticate the user when connecting to the remote
                             computer. [possible values: Default, Negotiate, Kerberos, NTLM]
        --user <USER>        The user name to use to connect to the remote computer.

Example

This is an example of what text output looks like. (You can also print out to jsonl)

print_publishers

The print publishers tool allows to you dump the publishers and their configs. This helps to identify what is avaiable on your system and the configuration settings. It is mainly an interface for some of the library componets that are used in helping establish what providers exist for monitoring purposes.

Usage

print_publishers 0.1.0
Matthew Seyer <https://github.com/forensicmatt/RsWindowsThingies>
Print Publisher Propperties.

USAGE:
    print_publishers.exe [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -d, --debug <DEBUG>             Debug level to use. [possible values: Off, Error, Warn, Info, Debug, Trace]
        --domain <DOMAIN>           The domain to which the user account belongs. Optional.
    -f, --format <FORMAT>           Output format. (defaults to text) [possible values: text, jsonl]
    -p, --provider <PROVIDER>...    Specific Provider.
        --server <SERVER>           The name of the remote computer to connect to.
        --sflag <SFLAG>             The authentication method to use to authenticate the user when connecting to the
                                    remote computer. [possible values: Default, Negotiate, Kerberos, NTLM]
        --user <USER>               The user name to use to connect to the remote computer.
