Okay.
So in this video we're going to take a look at Cherry Tree.
Now Cherry tree is a program that I've used in the past for templates.
And I use a couple different programs for reports and templates and such.
Um, cherry trees, sometimes word documents.
Uh, it's good to have some flexibility.
Now, Cherry Tree is an interesting program.
We'll take a look at it in that we could convert this to HTML.
We can convert it to a PDF.
We can convert we can embed things in there like images and such.
And if you're going to embed something like um, if you find a program something suspicious file, and
you want to put in your cherry tree file, you can generally do that.
You can zip it up, put it in there.
But I would say preserve a copy somewhere else, preserve a copy and say, um, a clean USB drive,
a shared folder, whatever, because I'm not 100% sure if Cherry Tree will, uh, change the MD5 hash
or Sha256 hash file of that particular file.
And again, if you have a particular program, um, or file that could potentially be used in a criminal
case or such, then you want to make sure that you do not alter that.
And part of not altering that is making sure that hash value is preserved.
So again, keep it off to the side somewhere, keep it as a stored copy somewhere else.
So I have CSI Linux open here.
And we'll take a quick look at Cherry Tree.
If you click on the Linux up here and go to office you will find Cherry Tree here.
Now I can open this up.
And very nice thing about Cherry Tree is it's obviously works with Linux.
There's also a mac client and a windows client.
So you basically cover all your bases for.
which platform can read this or use this.
So let's get into this.
So I have the template set that are on the course that's available for download.
I'm going to do open file.
We'll do desktop and Osint templates.
And we will take a look at let's just grab the technical template.
I'll double click that and we can see that it's got a hierarchical um system here.
So we have a cover page and we can type in the cover page is is a the report for company X okay.
And then if from the cover page I can right click here I could do add a sub node.
Add a node uh duplicate a node.
And you can see all these different options here.
Copy link toggle change if it's read only.
Now this is a new node.
And within here I created a sub node.
So what that basically means is this is a brand new page.
These are two separate pages.
And this if you click on this this is a sub node.
So this Osint is embedded in this.
And if I click this you can see all the other little things in here I have in here.
So in this basic template here and let me actually expand this out a little bit.
We have a disclaimer.
Um information obtained in here will be shared with the previously specified individuals listing information
page information.
The information obtained will be gathered by publicly available information only.
At no time will any of the techniques be involved.
The use of keyloggers, man in the middle attacks, or other direct pentesting techniques to be used
in the gathering of information.
The final report will be presented to the authorized client at the time of completion or at the request
of the client.
And this is just basically a quick disclaimer that's written.
And in here I have different sections in here as a really a generic template here.
Work done method IP lookup information Maltego information.
Have I been pwned and hashed information.
Phone number lookup and information obtained through search engines.
And within there there are some nodes in there.
So employee details login pages found internet, portals found media.
So say if I found media here I can right click in here.
And I could do insert, insert image, insert table, etc. etc..
Let's insert an image here and I can grab something.
I think I have a picture on the desktop here.
Yeah.
Uh here's an image here.
Okay.
We'll we'll embed that in there okay.
And we have this image here.
And we have other information or information obtained to people searches, date of birth, contact details,
emails, photos, locations, other information, so on and so forth.
So you can see that you could do quite a bit with this.
And again it's broken out into a nice easy to read format.
So all the person needs to do is click on here and just go okay.
Well I want to see information that they obtained through search engines.
Click on there and go okay well let's see I'm looking for media.
So they can click here.
And they can see the media file.
And of course you have the media file.
I would recommend putting the information there.
Why that particular media file is important and where you got it from.
So when it comes time to exporting your results.
So I can click on file here and we can do export.
So we can see export to PDF, export to HTML, export plain text file, export to a cherry tree document
and you can't expect whoever is going to read your report to have this loaded up.
Another great thing about this program is if you have a USB drive, you can create a portable toolkit.
You can put Cherry Tree on a USB, what's called portable apps, great program, portable applications,
whatnot.
But getting back to this, let's export in two different formats.
So we'll we'll export as PDF and HTML.
So we'll do the PDF first.
And you could do this selected node which means only this node text only select nodes and sub nodes
I will do the whole tree normally, unless there's a really specific reason that you only want a certain
section exported out.
I always do the all the tree.
I'll click okay.
And we'll, we'll put on the desktop here and I'll click save.
Okay.
Now let me minimize this.
Actually that was the wrong one here.
Minimize this.
And we could take a look at.
Our cherry tree.
Let's see here.
We actually create a folder here because I don't think that came out right.
Okay.
Do that.
Go back to our template here.
Export export as PDF.
Actually we minimize that again sorry.
So there's our doc.
Okay.
That's interesting.
That didn't come up okay.
So let's try that again.
Export desktop and we'll select Cherry Tree Export to PDF file.
And we'll do save.
Okay.
And let's see if that saved it this time.
Okay.
There we go.
There's our PDF.
And this will open up as a PDF file.
Now of course you're not going to be able to do.
The click through like you do normally.
And that's going to be a problem.
So the best way if you have things embedded in a fashion like I have, let me close that out.
You want to actually export it as a HTML.
So if I go export export HTML, I could do all the tree, include node names, link tree and everything
else and we'll export that out.
Now if you just have a very simple one.
You don't have a bunch of stuff embedded, you don't have pictures and then embedded either.
Go in and do a PDF, but if you have something very broken down and detailed like this and you have
pictures and whatnot in there, don't do it as a PDF.
Do it as a HTML.
Okay.
So we'll do that.
We'll put it in the same folder here.
Let's see.
Okay.
Desktop cherry tree okay.
Close that out.
File export as HTML.
Select the whole tree.
Now we could try to do it as single file.
Also to make things easier we'll do okay and okay.
Okay.
And there's our file here.
And if I click on index here we can see it comes out kind of similar.
Cover page disclaimer.
And you can see it kind of trying to break out everything in different sections here.
Still not not like our cherry.
Like our if we have cherry tree looking at it.
But this gives you an idea of kind of how it breaks things out here.
So still better than a PDF, but not perfect.
And again, this program isn't going to be for everyone depending on how you want your report to be.
But this is kind of fun if you have a lot of stuff.
And this might be just an internal thing too, that you use, uh, for your own personal notations.
But this is Cherry Tree.
And also again, uh, if you use cherry tree, use a word document.
You use other programs.
Always make sure that you have good documentation, both for yourself and for your client.
And this particular example was Cherry Tree.
Thank you so much for watching.
I'll see you next video.
