Some Checks Have Failed or Are Not Yet Complete
Not All Tests Have Passed
This version is in moderation and has not yet been approved. This means it doesn't show up under normal search.
- Until approved, you should consider this package version unsafe - it could do very bad things to your system (it probably doesn't but you have been warned, that's why we have moderation).
- This package version can change wildly over the course of moderation until it is approved. If you install it and it later has changes to this version, you will be out of sync with any changes that have been made to the package. Until approved, you should consider that this package version doesn't even exist.
- You cannot install this package under normal scenarios. See How to install package version under moderation for more information.
- There are also no guarantees that it will be approved.
There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.
Background
NTFS is designed as a recoverable filesystem. This done through logging of all transactions that alters volume structure. So any change to a file on the volume will require something to be logged to the $LogFile too, so that it can be reversed in case of system failure at any time. Therefore a lot of information is written to this file, and since it is circular, it means new transactions are overwriting older records in the file. Thus it is somewhat limited how much historical data can be retrieved from this file. Again, that would depend on the type of volume, and the size of the $LogFile. On the systemdrive of a frequently used system, you will likely only get a few hours of history, whereas an external/secondary disk with backup files on, would likely contain more historical information. And a 2MB file will contain far less history than a 256MB one. So in what size range can this file be configured to? Anything from 256 KB and up. Configure the size to 2 GB can be done like this, "chkdsk D: /L:2097152". How a large sized logfile impacts on performance is beyond the scope of this text. Setting it lower than 2048 is normally not possible. However it is possble by patching untfs.dll: http://code.google.com/p/mft2csv/wiki/Tiny_NTFS
Features
- Decode and dump $LogFile records and transaction entries.
- Decode NTFS attribute changes.
- Optionally resolve all datarun list information available in $LogFile. Option: "Reconstruct data runs".
- Recover transactions from slack space within $LogFile.
- Choose to reconstruct missing or damaged headers of transactions found in slack. Option: "Rebuild header".
- Optionally also finetune result with a LSN error level value. Option: "LSN error level".
- Logs to csv and imports to sqlite database with several tables.
- Optionally import csv output of mft2csv into db.
- Choose among 6 different timestamp formats.
- Choose timestamp precision: None, MilliSec and NanoSec.
- Choose Precision separator at millisec.
- Choose Precision separator at nanosec.
- Choose region adjustment for timestamps. Default is to present timestamps in UTC 0.0.
- Choose output separator. Option: "Set separator".
- Configurable UNICODE or ANSI output. Option "Unicode".
- Configurable MFT record size (1024 or 4096). Option "MFT record size".
- Optionally decode individual transactions or partial transactions (fragment).
- Option to reconstruct RCRD's from single or multiple transactions (fragments).
- Option to configure broken $LogFile. Useful with carved RCRD's as input.
- Option to skip fixups (for broken $LogFile, typically carved from memory).
- Detailed verbose output into debug.log.
- Configurable comma separated list of lsn's to trigger ultra verbose information about specific transactions into debug.log.
- Configuration for 32-bit OS.
- Configuration for binary data extraction of resident data updates.
- Autogenerated sql for importing out put into MySql database.
- Option to skip all sqlite3 stuff to speed up total parsing.
- Optional command line mode. Supports errorlevel suitable for batch scripting.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

logfileparser has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.
Guidelines
Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.
Notes
Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.

logfileparser has passed automated package testing (verification). The next step in the process is package scanning.

logfileparser has been flagged as part of automated virus scanning.
Package virus scanning found that at least 1 file within, or downloaded by, the package has between 1 and 5 VirusTotal detections associated with it.
This is not enough detections to prevent the approval of this package version.
