00:01.480 --> 00:01.920
Okay.

00:01.960 --> 00:04.360
So in this video we're going to take a look at Cherry Tree.

00:05.040 --> 00:09.760
Now Cherry tree is a program that I've used in the past for templates.

00:09.760 --> 00:15.840
And I use a couple different programs for reports and templates and such.

00:16.120 --> 00:19.240
Um, cherry trees, sometimes word documents.

00:20.560 --> 00:22.080
Uh, it's good to have some flexibility.

00:22.120 --> 00:24.440
Now, Cherry Tree is an interesting program.

00:24.440 --> 00:28.760
We'll take a look at it in that we could convert this to HTML.

00:28.800 --> 00:30.240
We can convert it to a PDF.

00:30.240 --> 00:34.120
We can convert we can embed things in there like images and such.

00:34.720 --> 00:44.360
And if you're going to embed something like um, if you find a program something suspicious file, and

00:44.360 --> 00:48.000
you want to put in your cherry tree file, you can generally do that.

00:48.000 --> 00:50.040
You can zip it up, put it in there.

00:50.440 --> 00:57.200
But I would say preserve a copy somewhere else, preserve a copy and say, um, a clean USB drive,

00:57.720 --> 01:06.660
a shared folder, whatever, because I'm not 100% sure if Cherry Tree will, uh, change the MD5 hash

01:07.020 --> 01:11.700
or Sha256 hash file of that particular file.

01:12.220 --> 01:19.940
And again, if you have a particular program, um, or file that could potentially be used in a criminal

01:19.940 --> 01:24.860
case or such, then you want to make sure that you do not alter that.

01:24.860 --> 01:30.140
And part of not altering that is making sure that hash value is preserved.

01:30.140 --> 01:36.620
So again, keep it off to the side somewhere, keep it as a stored copy somewhere else.

01:37.540 --> 01:40.220
So I have CSI Linux open here.

01:40.460 --> 01:42.180
And we'll take a quick look at Cherry Tree.

01:42.220 --> 01:48.260
If you click on the Linux up here and go to office you will find Cherry Tree here.

01:49.340 --> 01:50.460
Now I can open this up.

01:50.460 --> 01:56.900
And very nice thing about Cherry Tree is it's obviously works with Linux.

01:57.180 --> 01:59.500
There's also a mac client and a windows client.

01:59.500 --> 02:02.220
So you basically cover all your bases for.

02:03.480 --> 02:06.280
which platform can read this or use this.

02:07.280 --> 02:09.440
So let's get into this.

02:09.440 --> 02:15.240
So I have the template set that are on the course that's available for download.

02:15.840 --> 02:17.440
I'm going to do open file.

02:18.360 --> 02:21.520
We'll do desktop and Osint templates.

02:21.520 --> 02:26.320
And we will take a look at let's just grab the technical template.

02:26.320 --> 02:31.960
I'll double click that and we can see that it's got a hierarchical um system here.

02:31.960 --> 02:45.320
So we have a cover page and we can type in the cover page is is a the report for company X okay.

02:46.240 --> 02:52.880
And then if from the cover page I can right click here I could do add a sub node.

02:52.920 --> 02:56.080
Add a node uh duplicate a node.

02:56.080 --> 02:57.680
And you can see all these different options here.

02:57.680 --> 03:01.800
Copy link toggle change if it's read only.

03:02.840 --> 03:04.470
Now this is a new node.

03:04.470 --> 03:06.990
And within here I created a sub node.

03:07.350 --> 03:11.470
So what that basically means is this is a brand new page.

03:11.470 --> 03:13.390
These are two separate pages.

03:14.030 --> 03:16.630
And this if you click on this this is a sub node.

03:16.630 --> 03:20.110
So this Osint is embedded in this.

03:21.630 --> 03:27.510
And if I click this you can see all the other little things in here I have in here.

03:27.990 --> 03:33.790
So in this basic template here and let me actually expand this out a little bit.

03:34.470 --> 03:35.950
We have a disclaimer.

03:37.110 --> 03:42.470
Um information obtained in here will be shared with the previously specified individuals listing information

03:42.470 --> 03:43.950
page information.

03:43.990 --> 03:49.550
The information obtained will be gathered by publicly available information only.

03:49.910 --> 03:52.590
At no time will any of the techniques be involved.

03:52.630 --> 03:58.030
The use of keyloggers, man in the middle attacks, or other direct pentesting techniques to be used

03:58.030 --> 04:00.230
in the gathering of information.

04:00.270 --> 04:06.330
The final report will be presented to the authorized client at the time of completion or at the request

04:06.330 --> 04:07.130
of the client.

04:07.850 --> 04:12.410
And this is just basically a quick disclaimer that's written.

04:12.410 --> 04:18.530
And in here I have different sections in here as a really a generic template here.

04:19.290 --> 04:24.130
Work done method IP lookup information Maltego information.

04:24.170 --> 04:26.490
Have I been pwned and hashed information.

04:26.930 --> 04:30.370
Phone number lookup and information obtained through search engines.

04:30.370 --> 04:32.930
And within there there are some nodes in there.

04:33.410 --> 04:37.930
So employee details login pages found internet, portals found media.

04:38.370 --> 04:41.850
So say if I found media here I can right click in here.

04:42.490 --> 04:48.090
And I could do insert, insert image, insert table, etc. etc..

04:48.130 --> 04:50.730
Let's insert an image here and I can grab something.

04:50.770 --> 04:52.850
I think I have a picture on the desktop here.

04:54.250 --> 04:54.690
Yeah.

04:55.330 --> 04:56.930
Uh here's an image here.

04:58.730 --> 04:59.130
Okay.

04:59.170 --> 05:01.930
We'll we'll embed that in there okay.

05:01.970 --> 05:04.450
And we have this image here.

05:05.470 --> 05:12.070
And we have other information or information obtained to people searches, date of birth, contact details,

05:12.070 --> 05:15.910
emails, photos, locations, other information, so on and so forth.

05:15.910 --> 05:19.670
So you can see that you could do quite a bit with this.

05:20.030 --> 05:25.750
And again it's broken out into a nice easy to read format.

05:26.910 --> 05:29.710
So all the person needs to do is click on here and just go okay.

05:29.710 --> 05:36.350
Well I want to see information that they obtained through search engines.

05:36.350 --> 05:39.910
Click on there and go okay well let's see I'm looking for media.

05:39.910 --> 05:41.150
So they can click here.

05:41.190 --> 05:42.350
And they can see the media file.

05:42.350 --> 05:44.430
And of course you have the media file.

05:44.430 --> 05:46.390
I would recommend putting the information there.

05:46.430 --> 05:51.390
Why that particular media file is important and where you got it from.

05:53.270 --> 06:00.590
So when it comes time to exporting your results.

06:00.590 --> 06:04.270
So I can click on file here and we can do export.

06:04.270 --> 06:11.210
So we can see export to PDF, export to HTML, export plain text file, export to a cherry tree document

06:11.810 --> 06:17.130
and you can't expect whoever is going to read your report to have this loaded up.

06:17.690 --> 06:24.930
Another great thing about this program is if you have a USB drive, you can create a portable toolkit.

06:24.930 --> 06:34.010
You can put Cherry Tree on a USB, what's called portable apps, great program, portable applications,

06:34.010 --> 06:34.530
whatnot.

06:34.570 --> 06:39.010
But getting back to this, let's export in two different formats.

06:39.010 --> 06:41.610
So we'll we'll export as PDF and HTML.

06:41.610 --> 06:43.210
So we'll do the PDF first.

06:44.050 --> 06:51.450
And you could do this selected node which means only this node text only select nodes and sub nodes

06:52.210 --> 06:57.890
I will do the whole tree normally, unless there's a really specific reason that you only want a certain

06:57.890 --> 06:59.610
section exported out.

07:00.970 --> 07:03.090
I always do the all the tree.

07:03.130 --> 07:04.090
I'll click okay.

07:06.130 --> 07:10.230
And we'll, we'll put on the desktop here and I'll click save.

07:12.430 --> 07:12.870
Okay.

07:12.910 --> 07:14.630
Now let me minimize this.

07:14.670 --> 07:16.710
Actually that was the wrong one here.

07:17.350 --> 07:18.510
Minimize this.

07:21.270 --> 07:23.510
And we could take a look at.

07:26.310 --> 07:27.590
Our cherry tree.

07:27.630 --> 07:28.590
Let's see here.

07:30.350 --> 07:35.510
We actually create a folder here because I don't think that came out right.

07:38.670 --> 07:39.110
Okay.

07:40.030 --> 07:40.830
Do that.

07:40.870 --> 07:42.390
Go back to our template here.

07:45.230 --> 07:47.390
Export export as PDF.

07:47.430 --> 07:50.430
Actually we minimize that again sorry.

07:51.750 --> 07:54.790
So there's our doc.

08:03.750 --> 08:04.070
Okay.

08:04.110 --> 08:05.070
That's interesting.

08:05.070 --> 08:06.430
That didn't come up okay.

08:06.470 --> 08:08.010
So let's try that again.

08:08.050 --> 08:15.250
Export desktop and we'll select Cherry Tree Export to PDF file.

08:15.250 --> 08:16.930
And we'll do save.

08:19.570 --> 08:20.010
Okay.

08:20.170 --> 08:22.650
And let's see if that saved it this time.

08:23.130 --> 08:23.410
Okay.

08:23.450 --> 08:24.050
There we go.

08:24.090 --> 08:25.290
There's our PDF.

08:27.010 --> 08:29.810
And this will open up as a PDF file.

08:31.250 --> 08:33.490
Now of course you're not going to be able to do.

08:35.850 --> 08:40.410
The click through like you do normally.

08:40.410 --> 08:41.970
And that's going to be a problem.

08:42.810 --> 08:50.970
So the best way if you have things embedded in a fashion like I have, let me close that out.

08:50.970 --> 08:54.130
You want to actually export it as a HTML.

08:55.170 --> 09:04.250
So if I go export export HTML, I could do all the tree, include node names, link tree and everything

09:04.250 --> 09:06.650
else and we'll export that out.

09:06.690 --> 09:09.080
Now if you just have a very simple one.

09:09.080 --> 09:13.320
You don't have a bunch of stuff embedded, you don't have pictures and then embedded either.

09:13.520 --> 09:19.600
Go in and do a PDF, but if you have something very broken down and detailed like this and you have

09:19.640 --> 09:22.960
pictures and whatnot in there, don't do it as a PDF.

09:22.960 --> 09:24.280
Do it as a HTML.

09:25.160 --> 09:25.560
Okay.

09:25.600 --> 09:27.280
So we'll do that.

09:28.080 --> 09:29.800
We'll put it in the same folder here.

09:30.240 --> 09:30.960
Let's see.

09:33.720 --> 09:34.240
Okay.

09:40.680 --> 09:44.280
Desktop cherry tree okay.

09:46.400 --> 09:47.360
Close that out.

09:48.480 --> 09:52.360
File export as HTML.

09:53.600 --> 09:54.720
Select the whole tree.

09:55.040 --> 09:56.760
Now we could try to do it as single file.

09:56.760 --> 10:01.400
Also to make things easier we'll do okay and okay.

10:03.480 --> 10:03.880
Okay.

10:04.240 --> 10:06.240
And there's our file here.

10:06.240 --> 10:12.540
And if I click on index here we can see it comes out kind of similar.

10:12.540 --> 10:14.420
Cover page disclaimer.

10:15.100 --> 10:19.700
And you can see it kind of trying to break out everything in different sections here.

10:20.060 --> 10:22.940
Still not not like our cherry.

10:23.220 --> 10:25.740
Like our if we have cherry tree looking at it.

10:25.740 --> 10:29.020
But this gives you an idea of kind of how it breaks things out here.

10:30.300 --> 10:35.780
So still better than a PDF, but not perfect.

10:35.780 --> 10:42.300
And again, this program isn't going to be for everyone depending on how you want your report to be.

10:43.300 --> 10:46.340
But this is kind of fun if you have a lot of stuff.

10:46.340 --> 10:51.860
And this might be just an internal thing too, that you use, uh, for your own personal notations.

10:52.740 --> 10:54.220
But this is Cherry Tree.

10:54.260 --> 10:58.500
And also again, uh, if you use cherry tree, use a word document.

10:58.500 --> 10:59.940
You use other programs.

11:00.580 --> 11:06.180
Always make sure that you have good documentation, both for yourself and for your client.

11:06.620 --> 11:08.620
And this particular example was Cherry Tree.

11:08.660 --> 11:09.780
Thank you so much for watching.

11:09.780 --> 11:10.940
I'll see you next video.
