Incident Recorder (part of Incident Responder)
This is a simple windows program with a purpose of being able to be used within a Security incident. It has Three files, a main program, a configuration file and the license file(Gnu General Public), If you use this program you will need all three. ***By using this program you also agree to the terms of the GNU General Public License. IF you do not agree with the license terms and conditions, do not use this program.
*Note: the name of the program is Incident responder, the first release is just the incident recorder piece of the application. As I mature the parent application, I plan to add features like forensic gathering, email, etc. Each will have a standalone version. I am using this project to learn C#. this release uses the .net framework. It's only been tested on 2 computers.
The main focus is the timeline entry.
Initial Setup
Initial Setup
The first thing to adjust is the File location. This is where the rolling information is contained. This is found in File>Configuration> Default File locations. (see below)
When you click this menu item, you are presented with a window for where the information should be saved. Right now, it’s a simple Text File with no formatting. Also, when you start the program it automatically defaults to c:\Users\Public\incident.txt. you can change it from this location to where ever you like. I would suggest using a local file location. While you can use a network mapped drive, the application writes to this file constantly to avoid losing any data. Below is an example of a local drive. Note: you need to tell it the file also if you are not using the default values.
When you select the “set Default Values” it will revert back to “c:\Users\Public\Incident.txt” After prompting you.
Note: changes made in this window are not saved until you save your changes with the Save button.
Once saved the file location is written to the config file, This is the default location for all configuration information including the Preliminary and Incident team data.
