[!CAUTION]

DFIR Toolkit is leaving github

Why?

We believe that all men (and women, and all human between and above) are created equal. In this mindset, it does not make sense to judge people based on their birthplace, or their language, color, religion, or whatsoever.

We believe that who you are is made up of what you do. If you are caring towards other people, then that's you are. If you do harm to other people, then that's who you are.

We're concerned of what is currently happening in the United States. We don't like it when a government thinks it is above the law. We don't like it when a government doesn't serve the people, but sees people as a threat. But that's politics.

Github is part of Microsoft, and Microsoft is supporting this government. For example, Microsoft blocked the mail accounts of ICC members because of political reasons. We don't want to get our accounts blocked or deleted arbitrarily. Therefore, we're going to not support Microsoft in any way. That's why we'll move all our repositories away from github.

We had a good time. Cheers.

Overview of timelining tools

Installation

sudo apt install libscca-dev libssl-dev
cargo install dfir-toolkit

To generate autocompletion scripts for your shell, invoke the tool with the --autocomplete option, e.g.

mactime2 --autocomplete bash | sudo tee /etc/bash_completion.d/mactime2

would install a autocompletion script in /etc/bash_completion.d/mactime2.

Usage

Configuring the global timestamp format

Per default, the DFIR toolkit uses an RFC3339-compliant data format. If you want to, you can change the data format being used by setting the DFIR_DATE environment variable. Let's look at an example:

$ mac2time2 -b tests/data/mactime2/sample.bodyfile -d | head
1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00,0,macb,V/V---------,0,0,62447617,"/$OrphanFiles"

The value of DFIR_DATE can be any format string which can also be used in DateTime::strftime (https://docs.rs/chrono/latest/chrono/format/strftime/index.html)
