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.
