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 3.2.1 is an update release of FTimes. Generally, code was cleaned up and refined as necessary. The configure/build process has been updated, and several new configure options were added. The major event for this release was the addition of a number of new Dig, HashDig, and Map utilities. These tools were designed to support various workbench activities such as extracting DigString context, resolving MD5 hashes, and constructing MAC/MACH timelines. The primary focus of the work effort was to refine these utilities to the point where they could be released in beta form. http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=264191 Download: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=41134 Enjoy, k -- Klayton Monroe klmat_private Exodus Security Research and Development Fingerprint = 6D3B 1DBC F426 36E4 7C9A FA93 9A5D D62D 4D86 DBFC ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Powerful Anti-Spam Management and More...
