I'm trying to access the data that's exposed by the messagehooks plugin, specifically:

volatility.plugins.gui.messagehooks.MessageHooks().calculate()

I want to be able to work with the window_stations and atom_tables that are yielded by the method.

I tried making a new instance of the class and manually calling:

mh = messagehooks.MessageHooks(atoms.Atoms, sessions.SessionsMixin)

for x in mh.calculate():

    print x

However when run, I get an attribute error:

File "plugin.py", line 81, in calculate()

  for x in mh.calculate():

File ".../messagehooks.py", line 68, in calculate

  in atoms.Atoms(self._config).calculate())

File ".../messagehooks.py", line 6, in <genexpr>

  atom_tables = dict((atom_table, winsta)

File ".../atoms.py", line 153, in calculate

  for wndsta in windowstations.WndScan(self._config).calculate():

File ".../common.py", line 45, in __init__

  config.add_option("VIRTUAL", short_option = "V", default = False,

AttributeError: type object 'Atoms' has no attribute 'add_option'

Is there a better/correct way of getting at the data normally yielded by a plugin's calculate method?

Thank you,

Adam
