Triage: Incident Response

Triage is intended for incident responders who need host data rapidly. The tool will run a plethora

of commands automatically based on selection. It has the ability to copy data to a drive as well. Data

will copy to wherever the script is stored. Triage is intended to be ran off a flash drive locally on the

machine, or via network location.

Dependencies
Triage utilizes various tools in order to obtain information. Some of the utilities are included, others

are not for licensing reasons. You can get them from the following locales:

 DumpIt from MoonSols: http://www.moonsols.com/

 Sysinternals Suite from Microsoft and Mark Russinovich: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-

us/sysinternals/bb842062

 RegRipper from Harlan Carvey:

http://code.google.com/p/winforensicaanalysis/downloads/list

 md5deep and sha1deep from Jesse Kornblum: http://md5deep.sourceforge.net/

 7zip Command Line: http://www.7-zip.org/

The tools will need to be placed in the appropriate locales in order to run properly. When you

download triage it zipped, and then unzipped you’ll notice a Tools folder. Everything needs to be placed

in there; RegRipper and SysInternals Suite are their own folders for ease of viewing. The folder should

look something like this when completed:


Triage.INI File
Starting with version 0.78, Triage implemented the usage of an INI file to formulate how you wish to

run it. This allows for unique customization of the application without knowledge of how to modify the

source code and recompile it completely. The INI is simply structured currently with 2 sections: GUI and

Function. GUI is straight forward, either simply enter “Yes” or “No” and this will either boot the GUI or

run the functions over the command. The “Function” portion is a list of runnable functions within the

utility. Again, simply set function to “Yes” or “No” and this will select whether or not the function will

run.

Graphic User Interface


Triage v0.78 implemented the usage the GUI once again, much like the original proof-of-concept

code had. It allows the end-user to have a choice in how they utilize the utility. By default the GUI is
turned on by default as it makes it more accessible to more people. If you don’t like it, just enter “NO”

to the GUI portion of the Triage.INI file included in the download. The GUI looks something like this:

Take note of the various tabs as they will allow for various functions in the code to run. Also note, the

lower left corner. This will tell you what INI file is being read (default Triage.INI). If you select File, you’ll

have an option to select a different INI, which must follow the same structure of Triage.INI, but allow

you to save various versions for different situations and run them quickly. The interface will then

automatically change the checked boxes based on the INI you’ve selected.
