IMPORTANT

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.
WARNING

There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.

mft2csv 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.

  • ProjectUrl and ProjectSourceUrl are typically different, but not always. Please ensure that projectSourceUrl is pointing to software source code or remove the field from the nuspec. More...
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.

mft2csv 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 6 and 10 VirusTotal detections associated with it.
This package version cannot be approved without an exemption from a Moderator.

flcdrg (reviewer) on 30 Dec 2023 03:15:58 +00:00:

Please resolve these to allow this package to be approved:

  • A high VirusTotal detection score needs to be investigated, for example checking with the software author. Hopefully it is a false positive, but even open source software is not immune. eg. a 'supply chain' attack could compromise an otherwise innocent application. If the total remains in the range 5-10, then you will need to append a note to the description indicating why there are false positive results for this package.

thanks,
David

We've found mft2csv v2.0.0.50 in a submitted status and waiting for your next actions. It has had no updates for 20 or more days since a reviewer has asked for corrections. Please note that if there is no response or fix of the package within 15 days of this message, this package version will automatically be closed (rejected) due to being stale.

Take action:

  • Log in to the site and respond to the review comments.
  • Resubmit fixes for this version.
  • If the package version is failing automated checks, you can self-reject the package.

If your package is failing automated testing, you can use the chocolatey test environment to manually run the verification and determine what may need to be fixed.

Note: We don't like to see packages automatically rejected. It doesn't mean that we don't value your contributions, just that we can not continue to hold packages versions in a waiting status that have possibly been abandoned. If you don't believe you will be able to fix up this version of the package within 15 days, we strongly urge you to log in to the site and respond to the review comments until you are able to.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 03 Feb 2024 03:18:07 +00:00:

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move mft2csv v2.0.0.50 towards an approved status within 15 days after the last review message, so we need to close (reject) the package version at this time. If you want to pick this version up and move it towards approval in the future, use the contact site admins link on the package page and we can move it back into a submitted status so you can submit updates.

Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.

Description

Introduction

This tool is for parsing, decoding and logging information from the Master File Table ($MFT) to a csv. It is logging a large amount of data and that has been the main purpose from the very start. Having all this data in a csv is convenient for further analysis. It supports getting the $MFT from a variety of sources.

Details

Input can be any of the following:

Raw/dd image of disk (MBR and GPT supported)
Raw/dd image of partition
$MFT extracted file
Reading of $MFT directly from a live system
Reading of $MFT by accessing .\PhysicalDriveN directly (no mount point needed).
Reading of $MFT directly from within shadow copies.
$MFT fragments extracted from memory dumps or unallocated (see MFTCarver).
Single records extracted. See MftRcrd with the -w switch.

There is an option to choose which UTC region to decode for. For instance you have a disk image and the target system had a timezone configuration of UTC -9.30, then you can configure it like that and get the timestamps directly into UTC 0.00. Default is UTC 0.00, and if running on a live system, there is no need to do anything as timestamps are automatically set to UTC 0.00.

The format of output can be chosen. Currently it is possible to choose from:

All (will write to csv everything it can). Default set.
log2timeline: http://code.google.com/p/log2timeline/wiki/l2t_csv
bodyfile (v3.x): http://wiki.sleuthkit.org/index.php?title=Body_file

It is possible to parse broken/partial $MFT by configuring "Broken $MFT". This setting is necessary if for instance index number 0 is missing (the record for $MFT itself).

Also it is possible to configure the tool to skip fixups. This is something you may want if you are working on memory dumps. If so, you need to run MFTCarver on the memdump first. Then run mft2csv on the output file from MFTCarver. Must have both "Broken $MFT" and "Skip Fixups" configured in such a case.

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).
