Forensic challenge - Extracting usb keystrokes data from pcap

1. Add a column name HID Data and value usbhid.data in wireshark. Now we need to extract this column values using tshark.

2. Use this command in order to extract. 

tshark -r key_mission.pcap -Y 'usbhid.data' -T field -e usbhid.data > hid_data

or 

tshark -r key_mission.pcap -T fields -e usb.capdata | tr -d : > hid_data (This is the default command and if you use this command then you dont need to add extra column like the first command)

3. Now we need a script to convert this binaries to meaningful ASCII. 

4. https://blog.stayontarget.org/2019/03/decoding-mixed-case-usb-keystrokes-from.html

https://gist.github.com/ImAnEnabler/091a9e1ee2d6a0805408e009e2f4a2b5#file-decodeusbkeypress-py

5. Download the script from the above link and run using following command.

python decodeusbkeypress.py hid_data

Here hid_data is the file name.

6. Now after decode you will get some message that contains the flag. You may need to little bit clean that file. for example, find all the keyword called 'space' and replace with actual keyboard space.

Downloading kape incident response tool for forensic triage

We will analyze the collection later.  https://github.com/EricZimmerman/KapeFiles Kape download: Kroll Artifact Parser And Extractor (KAPE) | Cyber Risk | Kroll Besides full disk image/acquired disk image, this tool allows us to create smaller triage image where important forensic data is present . In case the scenario is divide and conquer , meaning if you want smaller triage image from big size disk image then you can use this and share with your DFIR team to investigate together. The main reason of using kape is now you don't need to wading or sift through into the full image where 10% actual artifacts are present.
