plaso (Plaso Langar Að Safna Öllu) is a Python-based backend engine for the tool log2timeline.

log2timeline is a tool designed to extract timestamps from various files found on a typical computer system(s) and aggregate them.

The initial purpose of plaso was to have the timestamps in a single place for computer forensic analysis (aka Super Timeline).

However plaso has become a framework that supports:

• adding new parsers or parsing plug-ins;
• adding new analysis plug-ins;
• writing one-off scripts to automate repetitive tasks in computer forensic analysis or equivalent.

And is moving to support:

• adding new general purpose parses/plugins that may not have timestamps associated to them;
• adding more analysis context;
• allowing more targeted approach to the collection/parsing.
