Shellbags persist information for directories even after the directory is removed, which means that they can be used to enumerate past mounted volumes, deleted files, and user actions. See Using shellbag information to reconstruct user activities for an overview of the investigative value of shellbags. Shellbags is installed in the Fedora 14, 15, and 16 versions of the repository.
  • python-registry-0.2.3-1.{fc14,fc15,fc16}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - Python-registry provides read-only access to Windows Registry files, such as NTUSER.DAT, userdiff, and SOFTWARE. The interface is two-fold: a high-level interface suitable for most tasks, and a low level set of parsing objects and methods which may be used for advanced study of the Windows Registry. python-registry is written in pure Python, making it portable across all major platforms. Python-registry is installed in the Fedora 14, 15, and 16 versions of the repository. This package is required by shellbags.
  • KHracker-0.3-1.noarch.rpm - KHracker is a python-based decryption tool for encrypted known_hosts entries.

From a forensics perspective, encrypted known_hosts entries can prevent an investigator from seeing other computers to which a user may have been connecting. Information about the connections made from a system can be integral to identifying a complete understanding of the systems involved in a network intrusion or incident response case.

    • [proftpd_xferlog input] Willi Ballenthin added a new module to parse the ProFTPD XFerlog file
    • [Log2Timeline library] Fixed a bug, when the 'all' moduiles option is used (or -f is omitted) no modules get loaded
      • Added a small change to try to parse the MFT directly even though the $MFT might not be directly visible
      • Fixed a small bug whereas the tool would crash if the local timezone was used.
      • Fixed a small bug whereas the tool is not able to find the default directory (. does not exist) or if the file in question does not really exist that the tool is pointing to... that made the tool return a double error instead of just dying on the first one.
      • The tool will now accept a separate output timezone so the tool can output in a different timezone than the hosts one.
    • [log2timeline] Added the -Z ZONE parameter so the tool can output in a different timezone than the host timezone.
    • [CSV output] Changed the output timezone so it now prints using the -Z definition, so it now supports different output timezone than the host one.

If the tool runs into such occurance it returned an empty timestamp object, that in turn let the tool query for it again, thus possibly getting into an endless loop. Added a counter so the tool tries to get the next event 50 times, otherwise it will die.

It reads packet data from pcap(3) dumpfiles as generated by tcpdump(1), from live capture from an interface using pcap(3), an Endace DAG capture device, or a Napatech adapter, aggregates these packets into flows, and exports flow records via IPFIX over SCTP, TCP or UDP, Spread, or into serialized IPFIX message streams (IPFIX files) on the local file system.

    • silk-flowcap-2.4.5-2.{fc11,fc12,fc13,fc14,el5}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - The silk-flowcap package contains flowcap, a daemon to capture NetFlow v5 or IPFIX flows (Internet Protocol Flow Information eXport), to store the data temporarily in files on its local disk, and to forward these files over the network to a machine where rwflowpack processes the data. flowcap is typically used with an rwsender-rwreceiver pair to move the files across the network.
    • silk-rwflowappend-2.4.5-2.{fc11,fc12,fc13,fc14,el5}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - The silk-rwflowappend package is used when the final storage location of SiLK data files is on a different machine than that where the files are created by the rwflowpack daemon (see The silk-rwflowpack package). rwflowappend watches a directory for SiLK data files and appends those files to the final storage location where The silk analysis tools (from The silk-analysis package) can process them. To move the files from rwflowpack to rwflowappend, an rwsender-rwreceiver pair is typically used.

    • silk-rwsender-2.4.5-2.{fc11,fc12,fc13,fc14,el5}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - The silk-rwsender package contains a program (rwsender) which transmits files over the network to one or more rwreceiver programs. rwsender-rwreceiver pairs are used to move files from a machine running flowcap and one running rwflowpack, or from the rwflowpack machine to machine(s) running rwflowappend.
  • unrar-4.0.7-1.{fc11,fc12,fc13,fc14,el5}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm and libunrar{,-devel}-4.0.7-1.{fc11,fc12,fc13,fc14,el5}.{i386,x86_64}.rpm - UNrar is a freeware program for extracting, testing and viewing the contents of archives created with the RAR archiver version 1.50 and above.
