| − | log2timeline is designed as a framework for artifact timeline creation and analysis. The main purpose is to provide a single tool to parse various log files and artifacts found on suspect systems (and supporting systems, such as network equipment) and produce a body file that can be used to create a timeline, using tools such as mactime from TSK, for forensic investigators.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The tool is written in Perl for Linux but has been tested using Mac OS X (10.5.7 and 10.5.8). Parts of it should work natively in Windows as well (with ActiveState Perl installed).

| − | ==Description==
| + | |
| − | log2timeline takes a log file (or a directory) and parses it to produce a body file that can be imported into other tools for timeline analysis. The tool has both a modular based approach to the input file as well as the output file. The default behavior of the current version is to export the timeline in a body format readable by TSK's (The SleuthKit) [http://wiki.sleuthkit.org/index.php?title=Body_file mactime] (although this can be easily changed). log2timeline is build as a series of scripts, this one being the front-end, which uses other scripts to actually parse the log files (called modules). The tool is build to be easily extended for anyone that wants to create a new module.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The tool contains (current version of 0.51 nightly build (20102608)) three front-ends:
| + | |
| − | * '''log2timeline''' - The main front-end. A tool capable of parsing a single log file/directory pointed to the tool using a selected input module.
| + | |
| − | * '''timescanner''' - A recursive front-end capable of parsing a directory passed to the tool and recursively go through each and every file/dir and try to parse it with every or selected input modules (to provide an automatic method of creating a super timeline).
| + | |
| − | * '''glog2timeline''' - A simple GUI front-end, with similar capabilities as log2timeline (the main front-end)
| + | |
