NAME
mac-robber - collects data about allocated files in mounted filesystems
SYNOPSIS
mac-robber [OPTION]
mac-robber <DIRECTORY>
DESCRIPTION
mac-robber is a digital investigation tool (digital forensics) that collects
metadata from allocated files in a mounted filesystem. This is useful during
incident response when analyzing a live system or when analyzing a dead
system in a lab. The data can be used by the mactime tool in The Sleuth Kit
(TSK or SleuthKit only) to make a timeline of file activity. The mac-robber
tool is based on the grave-robber tool from TCT (The Coroners Toolkit).
mac-robber requires that the filesystem be mounted by the operating system,
unlike the tools in The Sleuth Kit that process the filesystem themselves.
Therefore, mac-robber will not collect data from deleted files or files that
have been hidden by rootkits.
mac-robber will also modify the Access times on directories that are mounted
with write permissions. When in forensics analysis you should mount the target
partition as read-only.
mac-robber is useful when dealing with a filesystem that is not supported
by The Sleuth Kit or other filesystem analysis tools. You can run mac-robber
on an obscure, suspect UNIX filesystem that has been mounted read-only on a
trusted system.
OPTIONS
-h Print help.
-V Show the version.
EXAMPLE
To see metadata from all files in a directory (recursively):
$ mac-robber /home/user/directory
To make a timeline using mactime command from The Sleuth Kit (TSK) and setting Brazilian timezone:
$ mac-robber /home/user/directory | mactime \-z BRT
An alternative is write the results into a file and read it using mactime:
$ mac-robber /home/user/directory > /tmp/files.mr
$ mactime \-b /tmp/files.mr \-z BRT
