Update Skype Log Parser..........

I know this whole blog has gotten pretty stale as there have not been any posts in a loooong time. Well I am going to try and remedy that with some good posts in the coming weeks.

Well the skype log parser, which is my most downloaded tool, has gone through a few updates since I last posted at the end of last year/beginning of this year. The current version is 1.7. A few of the notable changes are (for full list see change_log.txt):

1. Ability to search for the log files from the gui.
2. Skype 4.x is now supported.
3. The ability to merge 2 cases into 1 report to compare the reports.
4. Ability to cancel the program at anytime.
5. Ability to parse the iTunes iPhone/iPod Touch backup files and get the skype log files if skype is installed.
6. If record in UserXXXXX.dbb file was truncated would throw program into infinite loop and this has been fixed.

The new program can be found here. I have also created a new email account that I would like to use for support and also to send out email's to users when I update the program. If you would like to receive updates about the skype log parser send an email to skype-parser at redwolfcomputerforensics dot com. Comments are encouraged good or bad and requests for enhancements.

Updates Before the New Year

Here are a few updates to some of the programs I have provided this year.

Skype Log Parser:

This program will now parse the voicemail logs and report on them. It will also extract some more information about the users. The avatars will also be parsed out and saved to the report directory as well. The program can be found here. I also want to thank the University of New Orleans (Team NSSAL) for using this program in the DC3 Challenge this year, I created the program for my use in the challenge but when I got bogged down with other things I thought I would release it in hopes that someone would use it for the challenge.

Thumbnail_Html:

I do not recall if I ever released this or not but what what it will do is parse a directory and create a web page with thumbnails of graphics files in it. This program is good if you need to create a file that has graphics that you want to send to someone and be able to put it on a CD/DVD. This program will also read some of the EXIF info for the graphics and output that information as well. The program can be found here.

Internet Parser:

This is the updated google chrome parser with a few more reports and I have also added the option to include Firefox history files as well. With this program if someone had both Firefox and Google Chrome you can add both of there history files to the same database and do 1 reports instead of multiple reports. This program can be found here.

Internet History:

This program reads in the Internet Explorer index.dat, the cookie index.dat and the History index.dat files and will produce reports on them. The reports should be similar to the internet parser program. That program can be found here.

I hope you enjoy all these updated and new programs and that you get quite a bit of use out of them.
