Sabonis – The Ultimate Tool For Enhanced Digital Forensics And Incident Response

Sabonis provides a way of quickly parsing EVTX, proxy and PCAP files and extracting just the information related to lateral movements.

It also has the ability of loading all this information into a Neo4J database.

This not only provides a graphic and easy-going way of investigating an incident, but also allows incident handlers to make use of the powerful graph database language “Cypher”

Features

  • Extracts and merge lateral movements from more than 7 different EVTX files
  • Parses Squid proxy events
  • Extracts all lateral movements from PCAP files
  • Quick and low memory comsumption
  • Loads different sources into a Neo4J database
  • Includes a Cypher Playbook to make investigations easy

Getting Started

Make sure that you have evtx_dump binary in src folder

Note: Before running sabonis.py, you must first generate the parsed XML files with pivotfoot.sh

  --timezone TIMEZONE   All dates with be converted to specified timezone. Ex: Europe/Leon

Examples

Parsing

  • Parse all EVTX files before processing with Sabonis
./pivotfoot.sh source_folder_with_evtx destination_folder

Get CSVs With Lateral Movements

  • Process all evtx files in a directory
./sabonis.py parse evtx --source artifact folder_with_pivotfoot_output --directory --csv_output sabonis_output.csv --ignore_local

Loading Into Neo4J

  • Load sabonis_output into neo4j database
./sabonis.py load evtx --csv_input sabonis_output.csv -ne04j_url NE04J_URL --ne04j_user NE04J_USER
