[Pac4Mac] Forensics Framework for Mac OS X


Pac4Mac (Plug And Check for Mac OS X) is a portable Forensics framework (to launch from USB storage) allowing extraction and analysis session informations in highlighting the real risks in term of information leak (history, passwords, technical secrets, business secrets, ...). Pac4Mac can be used to check security of your Mac OS X system or to help you during forensics investigation.

  • Exploit RAM memory Dump[*] (Searching Apple system/applications/Web Passwords)
  • Exploit Keychains[*] (Display content Keychain?, Crack Keychain files)
  • Crack Hashes passwords?
  • Exploit iOS files[*] (Accessing to iPhone without passcode, reading secrets through iTunes backups)
  • Display Stickies Widgets?
  • Display Printed Documents
  • Display prospective passwords ?(displaying all found passwords during dump and analysis phases)

[*] Integration of post-intrusion features
  • Hard Disk/RAM image
  • System dump to help to analyse compromission

    • Used ressources (files, libraries, …)?
    • Strange files (SUID, important size, …)?
    • Last dates of WiFI connections
  • Integration of CheckOut4Mac in order to quickly detect recent malicious activities or if someone attempted or succeeded to get an access to your Mac let in your hotel room during your dinner or party (based on USB connections, adding users, attempt to unlock session, access to emails, modification of files, etc.). 
    • Source : http://sud0man.blogspot.fr/2013/07/checkout4mac-v01.html
    • Startup activities (Startup dates, Stopping dates, Hibernation dates, Out of hibernation dates)
    • Session activities (Locked session dates, Attempt to unlock session without success, Unlocked session with success)
    • Physical activities (USB connections, USB plugged devices, File system events, Firewire connections with another machine or storage media, Firewire connections with another machine or storage media, Firewire connections to dump RAM)
    • Privileges escalation activities (Opened/Closed TTY terminals, ROOT commands executed with success, Attempt to execute commands with SUDO without success, User, password modification and creation

[*] Each launched action is logged and can be easily reviewed
[*] Easy to add new target (file, directory user, command, …) to extract (with db files and fonctions)
[*] All passwords found during dump or analysis are displayed
[*] All passwords found during dump or analysis are stored in common database(human readable format) and used for the next steps
