FastFinder - Incident Response - Fast Suspicious File Finder

FastFinder is a lightweight tool made for threat hunting, live forensics and triage on both Windows and Linux Platforms. It is focused on endpoint enumeration and suspicious file finding based on various criterias:

file path / name
md5 / sha1 / sha256 checksum
simple string content match
complex content condition(s) based on YARA

Ready for battle!

fastfinder has been tested in real cases in multiple CERT, CSIRT and SOC use cases
examples directory now include real malwares / suspect behaviors or vulnerability scan examples

Installation

Compiled release of this software are available. If you want to compile from sources, it could be a little bit tricky because it strongly depends of go-yara and CGO compilation. Anyway, you'll find a detailed documentation for windows and for linux

Depending on where you are looking for files, FastFinder could be used with admin OR simple user rights.

Scan and export file match according to your needs

configuration examples are available there

input:    path: [] # match file path AND / OR file name based on simple string     content:        grep: [] # match literal string value inside file content        yara: [] # use yara rule and specify rules path(s) for more complex pattern search (wildcards / regex / conditions)         checksum: [] # parse for md5/sha1/sha256 in file content options:    contentMatchDependsOnPathMatch: true # if true, paths are a pre-filter for content searchs. If false, paths and content both generate matchs    findInHardDrives: true	# enumerate hard drive content    findInRemovableDrives: true # enumerate removable drive content     findInNetworkDrives: true # enumerate network drive content    findInCDRomDrives: true # enumerate physical CD-ROM and mounted iso / vhd...output:    copyMatchingFiles: true # cr   eate a copy of every matching file    base64Files: true # base64 matched content before copy    filesCopyPath: '' # empty value will copy matched files in the fastfinder.exe folderadvancedparameters:    yaraRC4Key: ''    # yara rules can be (un)/ciphered using the specified RC4 key    maxScanFilesize: 2048 #  ignore files up to maxScanFileSize Mb (default: 2048)                   cleanMemoryIfFileGreaterThanSize: 512 # clean fastfinder internal memory after heavy file scan (default: 512Mb)

Search everywhere or in specified paths:

use '?' in paths for simple char wildcard (eg. powershe??.exe)
use '\*' in paths for multiple chars wildcard (eg. \*.exe)
regular expressions are also available , just enclose paths with slashes (eg. /[0-9]{8}\.exe/)
environment variables can also be used (eg. %TEMP%\myfile.exe)

Important notes

input path are always case INSENSITIVE
content search on string (grep) are always case SENSITIVE
backslashes SHOULD NOT be escaped (except with regular expressions) For more informations, take a look at the examples

About this project

I initially created this project to automate fast system oriented IOC detection on a wide computer network. It fulfills the needs I have today. Nevertheless if you have complementary ideas, do not hesitate to ask for, I will see to implement them if they can be useful for everyone. On the other hand, pull request will be studied carefully.
