Good morning, The latest version of Volatility can extract MFT records: " • new plugins to parse IE history/index.dat URLs, recover shellbags data, dump cached files (exe/pdf/doc/etc), extract the MBR and MFT records, explore recently unloaded kernel modules, dump SSL private and public keys/certs, and display details on process privileges" The latest version of analyzeMFT can find ADS files in MFT records: "Added ADS support. This is probably a work in progress but it seems to be working so I’ll push this out. Whenever analyzeMFT encounters a resident $DATA record, it stores a copy of the contents away for later use. If it encounters a named $DATA record, it does two things: • A duplicate of the parent record is created and the filename is changed to be <parent filename>:<ADS filename>. • All ADS records, parent and children, get a flag set in the new ADS column" As my CS prof used to say, it is an exercise left to the reader to figure out how to combine those..... -David On Jul 24, 2013, at 8:10 PM, "FRANCIS PROVENCHER" <FRANCIS.PROVENCHER(a)msp.gouv.qc.ca> wrote:

That's definitely one way that you can do it. I think someone was going to extend the mftparser plugin to extract ADS as well, or at least someone had approached me about it. It is possible to extend that plugin to do it without having to use other tools, I think I might already have the vtypes defined as well though I'm not sure. I don't have the time to extend it myself until sometime after blackhat is over, however. All the best, -gleeda On Thu, Jul 25, 2013 at 9:03 AM, David Kovar <dkovar(a)gmail.com> wrote:

We are about to release the new dumpfiles plugin that will allow you to recover the $Mft file. We are in the final stages of testing, so it should be released soon I believe. Out of curiosity, what system are you analyzing? On Thu, Jul 25, 2013 at 10:16 AM, FRANCIS PROVENCHER <FRANCIS.PROVENCHER(a)msp.gouv.qc.ca> wrote:
