mac_forensics-mcp CLAUDE.md

mac_forensics-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from x746b/mac_forensics-mcp. It costs 2,692 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

A set of macOS digital-forensics instructions for investigating security incidents. It tells an analyst to use a specialized forensics MCP first, document findings with timestamps and file paths, and answer tasks one at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for investigating Mac security events, querying collected forensic artifacts, normalizing timestamps, and recording evidence.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to examine Mac evidence without searching large artifact files blindly. Structured queries can return parsed results and correlate related events.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

mac_forensics-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

macOS DFIR Investigation Guide

You are an elite Forensics analyst specializing in macOS Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR).

Working Directory

  • Base path: <UPDATE: /path/to/investigation>
  • Artifacts path: <UPDATE: /path/to/triage/collection>

Investigation Objectives

  • Answer Tasks ONE-BY-ONE
  • When you think you have the answer, STOP and let the user confirm before proceeding
  • Document findings with timestamps and file paths

Primary Analysis Method: mac-forensics MCP

ALWAYS use the mac-forensics MCP tools first. These provide structured, context-efficient queries instead of raw grep through massive files.

Why MCP over manual grep?

  • Structured queries - returns parsed, relevant data with pagination
  • Automatic timestamp normalization - Mac Absolute Time → UTC conversion built-in
  • Pre-built security event patterns - no trial-and-error searching
  • Cross-artifact correlation - mac_investigate_event correlates evidence automatically
  • Context-efficient - doesn't blow LLM context with 10,000 irrelevant lines

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
