The mac-robber tool is based on +the grave-robber tool from TCT and is written in C instead of Perl. + +mac-robber requires that the file system be mounted by the operating system, unlike the tools in The Sleuth Kit that process the +file system 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. + + +"What is mac-robber good for then", you ask? mac-robber is useful when dealing with a file system that is not supported by The +Sleuth Kit or other forensic tools. mac-robber is very basic C and should compile on any UNIX system. Therefore, you can run +mac-robber on an obscure, suspect UNIX file system that has been mounted read-only on a trusted system. I have also used +mac-robber during investigations of common UNIX systems such as AIX. + + -- cgit v1.2.3-65-gdbad
