File systemmacosPro
FSEvents
macOS keeps a per-volume log of filesystem changes so that applications can watch directories. As a side effect it records that a path was created, modified or renamed, often long after the file is gone.
What members see here
- Every path this artifact lives at, and which builds each applies to.
- What it proves, and what it does not prove, which is the part that matters.
- How to parse it, and the tooling that reads it correctly.
- Hunting queries for Splunk, Sentinel and Elastic, with their false-positive notes.
