Member Function Documentation

DataContentViewer org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.TextContentViewer.createInstance ( )

Create and return a new instance of your viewer. The reason that this is needed is because the specific viewer modules will be found via NetBeans Lookup and the type will only be DataContentViewer. This method is used to get an instance of your specific type.

Returns
A new instance of the viewer

Implements org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.DataContentViewer.

Definition at line 73 of file TextContentViewer.java.

Component org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.TextContentViewer.getComponent ( )

Return the Swing Component to display. Implementations of this method that extend JPanel and do a 'return this;'. Otherwise return an internal instance of the JPanel.

Returns
the component which is displayed for this viewer

Implements org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.DataContentViewer.

Definition at line 78 of file TextContentViewer.java.

String org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.TextContentViewer.getTitle ( )

Returns the title of this viewer to display in the tab.

Returns
the title of DataContentViewer

Implements org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.DataContentViewer.

Definition at line 62 of file TextContentViewer.java.

String org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.TextContentViewer.getToolTip ( )

Returns a short description of this viewer to use as a tool tip for its tab.

Returns
the tooltip for this TextViewer

Implements org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.DataContentViewer.

Definition at line 68 of file TextContentViewer.java.

int org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.TextContentViewer.isPreferred ( Node  node)

Checks whether the given viewer is preferred for the Node. This is a bit subjective, but the idea is that Autopsy wants to display the most relevant tab. The more generic the viewer, the lower the return value should be. This will only be called on viewers that support the given node (i.e., isSupported() has already returned true).

The following are some examples of the current levels in use. If the selected node is an artifact, the level may be determined by both the artifact and its associated file.

Level 7 - Based on the artifact, if any, in the selected node and specific to an artifact type or types. Current content viewers that can return level 7 are the Messages tab (only supported for email and SMS) and the Text tab when the selected node is a Keyword Search hit.

Level 6 - Based on the artifact, if any, in the selected node but not restricted to particular types. The current content viewer that can return level 6 is the Results tab. It returns this level for most artifact types, unless the associated file is assumed to be of greater interest (for example, a Hash Set Hit will not be level 6 because the file itself is of greater interest).

Level 5 - Based on the file in the selected node and very specific to the file type. The current content viewer that will return level 5 is the Application tab, which supports media files (such as images) and certain types of databases.

Level 4 - Based on the file in the selected node but fairly general. Currently this is the level returned by the Text tab if Keyword Search has been run (unless the node is a Keyword Search hit or a Credit Card account). This is the default tab for most files.

Level 3 - Based on the artifact, if any, in the selected node where the artifact is thought to be of less interest than the associated file. This level is returned by the Results tab for artifacts like Hash Set Hits.

Level 1 - Very general and should always be available. The Hex, Text, and Metadata tabs are all this level

Level 0 - For cases where the content viewer should never be displayed by default.

Parameters
nodeNode to check for preference
Returns
an int (0-10) higher return means the viewer has higher priority

boolean org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.TextContentViewer.isSupported ( Node  node)

Checks whether the given node is supported by the viewer. This will be used to enable or disable the tab for the viewer.

Parameters
nodeNode to check for support
Returns
True if the node can be displayed / processed, else false

Implements org.sleuthkit.autopsy.corecomponentinterfaces.DataContentViewer.

void org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.TextContentViewer.resetComponent ( )
void org.sleuthkit.autopsy.contentviewers.textcontentviewer.TextContentViewer.setNode ( Node  selectedNode)

Autopsy will call this when this panel is focused with the file that should be analyzed. When called with null, must clear all references to previous nodes.

Parameters
selectedNodethe node which is used to determine what is displayed in this viewer
