Description-en: collects data about allocated files in mounted filesystems
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.
.
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.
