Background:

  FTimes is a system baselining and evidence collection tool. The
  primary purpose of FTimes is to gather and/or develop information
  about specified directories and files in a manner conducive to
  intrusion analysis.

  FTimes is a lightweight tool in the sense that it doesn't need
  to be "installed" on a given system to work on that system, it
  is small enough to fit on a single floppy, and it provides only
  a command line interface.

  Preserving records of all activity that occurs during a snapshot
  is important for intrusion analysis and evidence admissibility.
  For this reason, FTimes was designed to log four types of
  information: configuration settings, progress indicators, metrics,
  and errors. Output produced by FTimes is delimited text, and
  therefore, is easily assimilated by a wide variety of existing
  tools.

  HashDig technology is a collection of utilities designed to help
  practitioners automate the process of resolving MD5 hashes. In
  the early stages of an investigation, it is not typically possible
  or practical to examine all subject files. Therefore, practitioners
  need reliable methods that can quickly reduce the number of files
  requiring examination. One such method is to group files into two
  general categories: known and unknown. This method can be implemented
  quite effectively by manipulating hashes and comparing them to
  one or more reference databases. Even that, however, can take a
  significant amount of effort. HashDig technology attempts to
  reduce this burden through automation and the use of lightweight,
  open, and verifiable techniques.

Announcement:

  Version 3.2.1 is an update release of FTimes. Generally, code was
  cleaned up and refined as necessary. The configure/build process
  has been updated, and several new configure options were added.
  The major event for this release was the addition of a number of
  new Dig, HashDig, and Map utilities. These tools were designed
  to support various workbench activities such as extracting DigString
  context, resolving MD5 hashes, and constructing MAC/MACH timelines.
  The primary focus of the work effort was to refine these utilities
  to the point where they could be released in beta form.
