An Anti-Forensics Toolkit to clear sensible logfiles on *nix sistems, inspired by an EquationGroup's command which originally made sure "you've cleaned up any temporary files you've left on the box".
BURN has several operational modes:
BURN -c 1h(clear) to delete all log entries older than x hour/minutesBURN -f(fake) tamper logs with fake entries. User will be prompted to choose to insert infos e.g. an ip/timespan/other, randomize them or copy older recent log entries and vary them slightly.BURN -d(delete) to hard delete log the whole log files and command history of the current userBURN -b(burn) securely delete the script and exit. This will also clear the command history.
- parse /etc/syslog.conf entries, see http://doc.novsu.ac.ru/oreilly/tcpip/puis/ch10_05.htm
- integration with Defiler's Toolkit (Necrofile and Klismafile, see https://grugq.github.io/docs/phrack-59-06.txt)
- optional logwatch tampering
- optional SNORT tampering
- optional disable of Tripwire (/etc/cron.daily/tripwire-check removed or the whole /var/lib/tripwire/*.twd db)
- optional AIDE tampering (/var/lib/aide/aide.db)
