Execution of cdqr.exe requires log2timeline.exe

[tej7gandhi]

Hello,

I was executing cdqr.exe ,however a message pops up please provide the path for log2timeline.exe,where can I get the executable for log2timeline.exe .I navigated to the Plaso path that has been mentioned but I didnt find the executable there currently?Do I require to modify the code so only python code is taken as input?

Thanks and Regards
Tej Gandhi

As they stated on the Plaso github they no longer support creating the .exe and that's not something I can control. You'd either have to compile the .exe version yourself or use a different version.

If you want to continue to use CDQR on Windows I recommend learning how to use the Docker version of CDQR. https://github.com/orlikoski/CDQR/tree/master/Docker

Hello Alan, What is the advantage of utilizing docker image over directly setting up cdqr on an Ubuntu machine,does it add new functionality? Thanks and Regards Tej Gandhi

It's easier to use, works on any OS that supports docker, and requires no setup time.

Some more reading on containers and docker.

Hello Alan, The CDQR version functions on a Windows system with a docker image,I wanted to take the Cylr artifacts directly as a folder on the Windows VM and utilize log2time docker image to process them. How should I go about? I am utilizing this command as of now gives errors currently docker run -v /user/share/plaso:C:\Artifacts log2timeline/plaso results.plaso Machinename.zip OR Machinename Thanks and Regards Tej Gandhi
