File sleuth.db is modified when opening the case #2198
Comments
Hi @mbichara! |
TSK stores absolute image paths in sleuth.db. At the end of processing, if --portable is used, we update image paths to be relative, when possible (image and case in the same volume) IPED/iped-engine/src/main/java/iped/engine/core/Manager.java Lines 726 to 732 in 468a2bf
I think above code could be execute always, not just with --portable. But if the image is in a volume different than the case, and if the image is moved, paths should be updated... When the case folder is ready only, we create a temp sleuth.db and update image paths into it, one option would be to always copy sleuth.db to temp, but it could have GBs of size and it could take a reasonable time when case opens... Anyway, answers to @wladimirleite questions would help. And a step by step to reproduce would be even better. This week I'm giving a training and won't have time to look into this in the next days... |
For me the issue happens when using IpedBot (blind profile, exporting the case files), which I believe it process the case and then moves it to a storage folder. When opening the case (single or multicase), sleuth.db gets modified. It is not related only to multicase, then. I am not sure exactly how the Ipedbot works, so the exact reproducing steps require further investigation. I also could not reproduce the issue in a local processing case. Best |
If it just updating the evidence path when the case is opened for the first time, it is not an issue, right?! |
I believe that the modifications in the case were only made to IPED-SearchApp.log.
But I noticed that the file sleuth.db is being modified when opening the case for the first time with multicase option.
