[sleuthkit-users] Autopsy Python module - Retrieving data from a blackboard

[Sylvain P. <syl...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am trying to develop a Python module for autopsy but several questions
remain unanswered for now despite my research. I need your expertise to
carry out my project.
I would like your help with three points that I haven't found an answer :

1) Find the blackboard of data (generated by other modules) in python
2) Sample module developed for autopsy in python.
3) Find a specific file by his path in python.

1) I'm interested in the recovery of information from a previous module.
I saw the documentation about blackboard, like this page : The Sleuth Kit
Framework - The Blackboard
<http://www.sleuthkit.org/sleuthkit/docs/framework-docs/mod_bbpage.html> and
we can see that access to the blackboard is possible in C++ and Java.
Is it possible to do the same thing with python and how ?

2) I did some research to find python modules developed for autopsy, and I
have not found complete projects outside the examples found at:
https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/tree/develop/pythonExamples
Do you have some links to existing projects developed in python (not Java
or netbeans projects) ?

3) I would use in my module files with a defined path to display them in
the blackboard "INTERESTING_FILE_HIT". The examples clearly show how to
recover files with the method find and after that display these files into
the blackboard, no problem about that.
But how to specify a path to a specific file, without using a keyword
search (still in python) ?

Thank you to those who respond to this message.
Cordially

Sylvain
