Any Other Information
These artefacts are collected under the ma4n6 project, aiming at being single point of collection for OSX artifacts from where such locations are later shared via:
– yaml library
– ForensicsWiki.org
– ForensicsArtifacts.com
So that the effort is made only once, and the output reused everywhere.
