7.0 Update - Windows process and HijackThis log tool vA7.0a

Another big update.  ;D

- Completely reworked the algorithm that parses out filenames. This has greatly increased total files found in many logs and as far as I can tell has eliminated any lost files not being shown in the table. Seems to be a really big improvement for Combofix logs.
- Improved detection again on multiple files listed in one line.
- Improved on Firewall and AntiVirus detection. In addition will also show unique icons for AntiVirus / Firewall related files
to help with quick identification.
- Now looks at each of the following extensions: .dll .exe .cfg .cab .ocx .bat .sys .cpl .com
- With the addition of .com extensions being looked at and reported script does have some minor issues identifying between some domains and actual file names. Still being worked out, but for most part most domains even in file paths are properly ignored.
- Slightly modified the look of the table, added additional icons in addition to those mentioned above.
- Added several additional Hijackthis triggers for detecting more than just process threats, things like browser hijacks.
- Added close to another 1,000 processes to database.
- Few additional checks and table formatting changes for when user looking at Combofix log.
- Several other dozen things not really worth mentioning. ;)

It's looking good.

I still haven't ran a CF log through it. Call me stubborn...

How about a GMER parser lol. Now THAT would be nice!

SWEET!!

It does a nice job in parsing Panda ActiveScan logs also. Maybe you can see some tweaking to be done in this area also. The logs are fairly easy to read but all of the extra characters can make it confusing. Note that nothing in this log is actually malicious. Those are all Smitfraudfix files.

The main thing is it separates out all of the cookies and extra text and read the actual executables. Although I do wish it would show the entire file path. ntp.exe isn't malicious, but when you see the entire file path it becomes clear why it was flagged. C:\ComboFix\ntp.exe.

Another log is attached.

    Ok......This is interesting...

    I got rid of the header for my HJT and submitted the log and Kaspersky rang out.

    Trojan Program (modification):
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0q8gzr31.default\Cache\29061B48d01

    See attached file

    Definitely something that could be done. For now going to focus first on HJT and Combofix since they seem to be used more often.

    The full path and other information the file is found on is displayed if you hover the mouse over the folders in the path column. Were you wanting something more specific then that or somewhere else? Chris wanted this to be added and seems to work with all logs as far as I can tell.

    Pretty cool!  How would you make something like that?  You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

    Program was written by me in Perl. Really difficult however to answer a generic question like that when it comes to programing because would be extremely hard to explain the whole program. Basically, Grabs text inputted by user, parses text through a bunch of regexp algorithms, looks for matches, and spits out the results in a formatted table.

    This is definately a problem and has been fixed to prevent from happening again (will show in ver 7.0b+). However, I would like to know if the date stamp you had (Scan saved at 5:03:29 PM, on 07-Dec-08) is something you created or something actually generated by Hijackthis? I've never seen a date stamp in a hijackthis log that has the abbreviation of the month, usually always the numerical value.

    As far as Kaspersky reporting malware in this script is beyond me. My assumption is that maybe the page generated for your log contains some keyword(s) that trigger it to falsely report it. Rest assured there is nothing else the script is doing other than parsing through the text entered into it.

    Carbon's header looks like that because of the short-date format in his regional settings.

    Here's my header with the default settings...

    All HJT is pull the time/date from the computer's clock.  It doesn't have it's own special way of formatting this information.

    CBMatt is correct. I changed my date format in my Regional and Language Settings over in Control Panel.
    I get the same format as the one in my HJT Log if I got to Command Prompt and type 'echo %date%'.

    All right. As long as I know you're not doing anything devious behind our backs. ;)

    It's the scripts that the tool uses.

    Hmm, I just noticed that the parser is confused by [email protected] and sees it simply as home.exe (and of course doesn't know what it is).  I'm assuming this can be fixed with a regexp tweak...and we know how much fun that always is.
