User-Behavior-Mapping-Tool
Project aims to map out common user behavior on the computer.
Most of the code is based on the research by kacos2000 found here:

Installation
- git clone the repo
- pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Getting started
To make use of this project you first need to copy out the ActivityCache.db file found on the users computer under:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\ConnectedDevicesPlatform\<GUID>
UserBehaviorAnalyzer.py
To parse an ActivityCache.db file specify the path with the -f parameter.
If you only want the main exported data (one csv) you can specify -m.
Output folder is specified with the -o parameter. Folder will be created if it does not exist.
If no output folder is specified the output goes in the current working directory.
python3 UserBehaviourAnalyzer.py -f /mnt/c/ads/ActivitiesCache.db

Reports
gen_report_Activity_Applications.csv
This report contains the total of time the different application has been actively used based on all the data found in the database.
gen_report_ApplicationLaunch_StartTime.csv
This reports shows the applications that are launched and parameters used (also filenames sometimes) and when it was launched.
This is useful for understanding when the user starts his applications.
gen_report_useractivity_start_and_end.csv
This report groups all times for each day and finds the first entry of the day and the last.
This report is useful for understanding when the user starts his day and when the last application was launched.
Charts
gen_fig_top10_apps_bars.jpg
This shows the top 10 most used application visualized with Bars. Usage is in seconds.
gen_fig_top10_apps_pie.jpg
This shows the top 10 most used application visualized as a pie chart. Usage is in seconds.
gen_fig_useractivity_bar.jpg
This visualizes when the user is active and idle based on the first activity found per day and the last activity found per day. The y axis shows the time of day.
The time is based on the timezone of the user
ex 500 = 0500 (5am)
ex 2000 (8pm)
gen_fig_useractivity_heatmap.jpg
This visualized the users activity sorted on days. The brighter color the more activity. The time is based on the timezone of the user
Other
Paths_Unique.txt
This file contains unique paths the for documents/files/folders the user works towards. Perfect targets for backdoors.
Issues
If you do encounter issues please create a github issue. You might need to provide the ActivitiesCache.db since it could be a case that has not been encountered.
