File Artifacts:
Depending on the Action, AChoir may create file artifacts in acquisition directory. If AChoir is run from an attached USB drive, these artifacts should not affect non-repudiation (ie. they will not modify the System Drive)
1. Logfile (ACQ-IR-<name>-<date>-<time>.txt
AChoir will create a logfile for each acquisition in the /Logs directory. The log contains both the actions taken by AChoir and additional information such as the hash of each program that is run.
2. DirHash.txt
Created by: HSH:DIR
When requested in the AChoir Script (HSH:DIR), Achoir will hash all files starting at the directory AChoir is run from (AChoir's root directory) and store the MD5 hashes in this file.
3. ACQHash.txt
Created By: HSH:ACQ
When requested in the AChoir Script (HSH:ACQ), Achoir will hash all acquired artifacts and store the MD5 hashes in this file.
4. Index.htm
Achoir will generate an Index.htm file for every acquisition. This file can be opened with your favorite web browser to browse and open the acquired artifacts.
5. x-MFT.db
Created by: NCS and NCP
Achoir will generate an SQLite database when using NCP: Raw Copy. This database is a subset of the $MFT for that volume - used to make searching for wildcards faster.
6. ForFiles
Created by: FOR:
Achoir will create a temporary file in the Acquisition Cache Directory called "ForFiles" every time the FOR: Action is used. ForFiles contains the results and is used when the &FOR Looping object (variable) is used.
7. ForDisks
Created By: DSK:
Achoir will create a temporary file in the Acquisition Cache Directory called "ForDisks" every time the DSK: Action is used. ForDisks contains the results and is used when the &DSK Looping object (variable) is used.
