dfDewey
dfDewey is a digital forensics string extraction, indexing, and searching tool.
Requirements
bulk_extractor
dfDewey currently requires bulk_extractor for string extraction.
bulk_extractor can be installed from the GIFT PPA.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gift/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y bulk-extractor
bulk_extractor can also be downloaded and built from source here: https://github.com/simsong/bulk_extractor
Note: bulk_extractor v2.0.3 or greater is required.
dfVFS
dfVFS is required for image parsing. It can be installed from the GIFT PPA.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gift/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3-dfvfs
It can also be installed using pip:
pip install -r dfvfs_requirements.txt
Datastores
OpenSearch and PostgreSQL are also required to store extracted data.
These can be installed separately or started in Docker using docker-compose.
cd docker
sudo docker-compose up -d
Note: To stop the containers (and purge the stored data) run
sudo docker-compose down from the docker directory.
dfDewey will try to connect to datastores on localhost by default. If running
datastores on separate servers, copy the config file template
dfdewey/config/config_template.py to ~/.dfdeweyrc and adjust the server
connection settings in the file. You can also specify a different config file
location on the command line using -c.
Installation
python setup.py install
Note: It's recommended to install dfDewey within a virtual environment.
