Hello @LeviathanGod

Yes, this is very much a vol2 issue.

You could raise the issue on the vol2 github page, or you could try asking for help on the slack channel https://www.volatilityfoundation.org/slack

For what it's worth it looks like the chromehistory and firefoxhistory attempt to import csv but this fails for some reason on your install. Perhaps the python environment for volatility_2.6_lin64_standalone doesn't have this package. You may have more luck downloading the code for vol2 and running it that way rather than the standalone package you have.

I'm afraid that volatility 2 does not appear to under active development anymore, however the error message (No module named csv) suggests that the version of python in use is lacking the standard csv library for some reason. This is therefore not a volatility issue, but an issue with the python distribution in use. Since the python2 page also points out that python 2 is no longer supported, I would strongly recommend trying to make use of python 3/volatility 3.

So the recommended courses of action are:

  • Check the python 2 installation and determine why the standard csv module is not present/cannot be imported by volatility 2
  • Either attempt to port the chromehistory plugin, or request on the vol3 bug tracker that the it be ported across for you (although this will depend on a volunteer finding time and stepping up to complete the request).

As this is not a volatility 2 bug, I'm going to close off this issue. Please feel free to reopen it if you feel the issue is specific to volatility 2 and can demonstrate evidence that the python2 installation is functioning correctly with all standard libraries.
