NAME

       grokevt-findlogs - Attempts to find log file fragments in raw binary files, such as memory dumps and disk
       images.

SYNOPSIS

       grokevt-findlogs -?  .PP grokevt-findlogs [-v] [-h] [-H] [-o offset] raw-file  .SH  DESCRIPTION  grokevt-
       findlogs  searches  a  raw binary file for event log records. It produces a simple comma-separated values
       (CSV) output to stdout which  includes  metadata  and  offsets  of  any  hits.  Using  the  metadata  and
       offset/contiguity information, it should be easy to determine if the hits are false positives or not.

ARGUMENTS

       raw-file
              The binary file to be searched.

OPTIONS

       -?     Prints a basic usage statement.

       -v     Verbose  mode.  Prints  status  messages to stderr, which can be helpful for debugging. (Currently
              does nothing.)

       -h     Prints a header row at the top of the CSV output containing labels for each column. (This  is  the
              default behavior.)

       -H     Disables the printing of a header row. This is useful when grokevt-findlogs is used in a script.

       -o offset
              Begin search at this byte offset within the binary file.

BUGS

       Probably a few. This script has not been extensively tested with some guest platforms.

       There are likely some speed improvements that could be made.
