Background: FTimes is a system baselining and evidence collection tool. The primary purpose of FTimes is to gather and/or develop information about specified directories and files in a manner conducive to intrusion analysis. FTimes is a lightweight tool in the sense that it doesn't need to be "installed" on a given system to work on that system, it is small enough to fit on a single floppy, and it provides only a command line interface. Preserving records of all activity that occurs during a snapshot is important for intrusion analysis and evidence admissibility. For this reason, FTimes was designed to log four types of information: configuration settings, progress indicators, metrics, and errors. Output produced by FTimes is delimited text, and therefore, is easily assimilated by a wide variety of existing tools. http://ftimes.sourceforge.net/FTimes/ HashDig technology is a collection of utilities designed to help practitioners automate the process of resolving MD5 hashes. In the early stages of an investigation, it is not typically possible or practical to examine all subject files. Therefore, practitioners need reliable methods that can quickly reduce the number of files requiring examination. One such method is to group files into two general categories: known and unknown. This method can be implemented quite effectively by manipulating hashes and comparing them to one or more reference databases. Even that, however, can take a significant amount of effort. HashDig technology attempts to reduce this burden through automation and the use of lightweight, open, and verifiable techniques. http://ftimes.sourceforge.net/FTimes/HashDig.shtml Announcement: Version 3.3.0 is a minor release of FTimes. Generally, code was cleaned up and refined as necessary. This release includes two new modes: diglean and maplean. These modes were added to fill the gap between the auto and full modes. Additionally, all MD5 code has been replaced, and a new control, HashSymbolicLinks, has been added. The MAC/MACH timeline script, ftimes-map2mac.pl, now includes support for an external sorting method, and hipdig.pl has been given the ability to dig for Track[12] credit card data. Finally, configure/build support for the ia64 platform was added. http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=302122 Download: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=41134 Cookbook: http://ftimes.sourceforge.net/FTimes/Cookbook.shtml Enjoy, k -- Klayton Monroe klmat_private Fingerprint = 6D3B 1DBC F426 36E4 7C9A FA93 9A5D D62D 4D86 DBFC ----------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
