This software is a digital forensics and incident response tool that can generate a timeline of file activity for mounted file systems.
One of mac-robber's main advantages is that it allows you to use the mactime tool in The Sleuth Kit to create a timeline of file activity. Plus, since mac-robber is written in C instead of Perl, it can offer better performance and reliability.
It's worth noting that mac-robber requires the file system to be mounted by the operating system. This means it may not collect data from deleted files or files hidden by rootkits. Additionally, if you mount directories with write permissions, mac-robber will modify their Access times.
Despite these limitations, mac-robber is still a valuable tool. It's particularly helpful when working with file systems that aren't supported by other tools. Plus, because mac-robber is written in basic C, it can be compiled and used on just about any UNIX system.
All things considered, if you're looking for a reliable, straightforward digital investigation tool, give mac-robber a try. It may be just what you need to collect data and uncover important insights from a complex file system.
