log - How to check whether someone viewed/copied a video? - Ask Ubuntu
is there way check if (a hacker had physical access machine) has accessed or copied file (a video) on system? need know.
using terminal, check when last time video file accessed, if later last time accessed it, there's chance has copied it. of course if you've accessed file since then, or can't remember when last accessed it, won't helpful. access, mean copy, play or move file.
in terminal, use command:
stat /path/to/video
you'll output in following format:
$ stat file file: â?~fileâ?t size: 435 blocks: 8 io block: 4096 regular file device: 801h/2049d inode: 262181 links: 1 access: (0755/-rwxr-xr-x) uid: ( 0/ root) gid: ( 0/ root) access: 2016-09-12 10:30:01.186634836 +0100 modify: 2015-10-13 15:18:11.669085522 +0100 change: 2015-10-13 15:18:11.669085522 +0100 birth: -
the information after access:
line tell when last accessed.
this method not foolproof, access time file can faked, or system time can changed duration of file access, reset correct time. depends on skill level of user trying copy video. may not have not have bothered if going blackmail anyway, there's no way of discerning information. it's difficult track file access without having installed ids (intrusion detection system) such snort or tripwire.
