100,000+ SLOC (Source lines of code)

Sep 22th, 2018 by Eduardo Aguiar

We have reached (and passed) 100,000+ source lines of code. Mobius Forensic Toolkit is now a medium-sized project. The graph below shows the number of lines of code according to each version:

A few things can be inferred from the numbers above and from the development process in general:

Libmobius development started in Sep, 7th 2015. In 3 years it has grown from 0 to 62,271 SLOC, about 20,700 SLOC/year or 1,729 SLOC/month.
In the last 12 months, Libmobius has grown from 31,151 to 62,271 SLOC, about 2,593 SLOC/month or 85 SLOC/day.
From version 0.5.22 to version 1.8, the project source lines of code has grown from 42,051 to 102,707 SLOC.
The numbers above do not include the Python wrapper layer, also written in C++.
The demands for refactoring in Libmobius are low, which indicates a robust design.
The number of lines of code in Python is almost stable, even with many new features added. It means that we are successfully using the C++ API from libmobius.

Mobius Forensic Toolkit v1.0 released

Nov 18th, 2017 by Eduardo Aguiar

The hive extension now retrieves the registry files directly from the disk and builds an unified registry structure, very akin to the registry structure shown by regedit. A new C++ module mobius::ant::registry (and its Python API counterpart mobius.ant.registry) has been developed to decode the registry objects (files, keys, values and data) and has been added to the libmobius. Minor improvements have been made and a few bugs have been fixed. See the ChangeLog file for a complete list of changes. Main changes are:

Hive extension: Interface reimplemented as a case view
