Release 1.6.0 Gotthard

posted Jul 31, 2017, 4:42 AM by Mike Cohen   [ updated Jul 31, 2017, 4:43 AM ]

This is the next release of the Rekall Forensic Framework code named Gotthard. In this release we introduce the Rekall Agent - a new experimental endpoint security agent based on cloud technologies. The agent is described in the blog post.

As usual, you can install this version by first creating a virtual env and then installing using pip:

$ virtualenv  /tmp/MyEnv
New python executable in /tmp/MyEnv/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip...done.
$ source /tmp/MyEnv/bin/activate

$ pip install rekall-agent rekall

Version 1.5 - Code name Furka

posted Jul 31, 2017, 4:38 AM by Mike Cohen   [ updated Jul 31, 2017, 4:38 AM ]

This is the next point release in the 1.5 (Furka) series.

Some highlights of this release:

  • Rekall had obtained many live plugins for Incident Response:

  • glob, wmi, registry yara scanning of files etc. This capability makes Rekall a capable tool for incident response and triaging.

  • EFilter is now better integrated. Users can simple run SQL queries directly in the console.

  • Artifact collector allows Rekall to use the forensic artifacts project (https://github.com/ForensicArtifacts/artifacts)

As always install with pip and virtualenv:

$ virtualenv /path/to/env
$ source /path/to/env/bin/activate
$ pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
$ pip install rekall
