Osquery Extension

Project Summary

This project provides custom Osquery tables that enhance the default Osquery functionality on macOS and Windows. These tables can help with forensics, compliance, and security investigations by extracting critical configuration and usage data from local installations.

Usage

For testing, you can load the extension with osqueryi.

By default, osquery does not want to load extensions not owned by root. You can either change the ownership of osquery_extension.ext to root, or run osquery with the --allow_unsafe flag.

To test:

make osqueryi # Will run osqueryi --extension /path/to/osquery_extension.ext --allow_unsafe in the background

For production deployment, you should refer to the osquery documentation.

Tables

Table	Description	Platforms	Notes
chrome_extensions_dns	Inspired by ExtensionHound, this table returns the DNS domains requested by chromium browser extensions.	macOS / Windows
chrome_preferences	Parses different Chromium based browser preferences such as sites with access to geolocation data, microphone access and notifications. Useful for forensics purposes.	macOS / Windows
vscode_extensions	Returns VSCode extensions installed on host. This table has been eventually incorporated into Osquery core.	macOS / Windows
