Project Unified Logs
The Story
Apple implemented the Unified Logs in 2016, which is on the Sierra version of macOS. Although they have been part of the digital world for many years, investigating them remains, in my opinion, complicated and not well documented.
Extracting them is relatively easy, but isolating the relevant logs and understanding them is much more difficult! My project, initiated in 2020 during my master’s thesis, is therefore to try to document them and provide you some Unified logs to focus on during your investigations.
The start of my project focused on iOS, so a number of logs and articles are already available for these devices and you can find them here.
I've also recently introduced the ‘Logs of the Week’ concept. These are capsules presenting one or more logs in a quicker, more concise way. You can find them here.
macOS Unified Logs
I have also recently started investigating unified logs from macOS. As with iOS, extracting them is not complicated, so I would like to help you understand them.
Further information will be provided shortly, stay tuned!
