## Plaso Overview
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.
