peripheral_core/lib.rs
1//! `peripheral-core` — external-device (peripheral) connection forensic reader.
2//!
3//! Parses Windows `setupapi.dev.log` device-installation logs into a uniform
4//! [`DeviceConnection`] stream: bus-classified, with each timestamp tagged
5//! authoritative-vs-inferred and the USB iSerial kept distinct from any volume
6//! serial. The input is attacker-controllable evidence — parsing is lenient
7//! (lossy UTF-8), bounds-checked, and never panics. No `unsafe`.
8//!
9//! Findings (DMA-capable device, mass-storage, HID/BadUSB, OS-generated serial)
10//! live in the sibling `peripheral-forensic` crate; this crate only decodes.
11//!
12//! ## v0.2 enrichment (not in this release)
13//!
14//! The richest source — the Windows registry `SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\`
15//! keys (USBSTOR/USB), `MountedDevices`, and the device-property `0066`/`0067`
16//! Last-Arrival/Last-Removal `FILETIME`s — plus EVTX device events require the
17//! (unpublished) `winreg-core` and `winevt-forensic` crates. They are deferred
18//! to v0.2; v0.1 is scoped to the self-contained `setupapi.dev.log` source.
