TSK_GETTIMES(1) General Commands Manual TSK_GETTIMES(1)

NAME

tsk_gettimes - Collect MAC times from a disk image into a body file.

SYNOPSIS

tsk_gettimes [-vV] [ -f fstype ] [ -i imgtype ] [ -b dev_sector_size ] [ -z zone ] [ -s seconds ] image [images]

DESCRIPTION

tsk_gettimes examines each of the file systems in a disk image and returns the data about them in the MACtime body format (the same as running 'fls -m' on each file system). The output of this can be used as input to mactime to make a timeline of file activity. The data is printed to STDOUT, which can then be redirected to a file.

The arguments are as follows:

verbose output to stderr
Print version
Specify the file system type. Use '-f list' to list the supported file system types. If not given, autodetection methods are used.
The format of the image file, such as raw. Use '-i list' to list the supported types. If not given, autodetection methods are used.
The size (in bytes) of the device sectors. If not given, autodetection methods are used.
Sector offset for a volume to recover (recovers only that volume) If not given, will attempt to recover all volumes in image and save them to different folders.
The time skew of the original system in seconds. For example, if the original system was 100 seconds slow, this value would be -100.
The ASCII string of the time zone of the original system. For example, EST or GMT. These strings must be defined by your operating system and may vary.
The disk or partition image to read, whose format is given with '-i'. Multiple image file names can be given if the image is split into multiple segments. If only one image file is given, and its name is the first in a sequence (e.g., as indicated by ending in '.001'), subsequent image segments will be included automatically.

EXAMPLES

To collect data about image image.dd:

# tsk_gettimes ./image.dd > body.txt
