New tool: convert-ts-bash-history.py, (Fri, Sep 26th)

In SANS FOR577[1], we talk about timelines on day 5, both filesystem and super-timelines. but sometimes, I want something quick and dirty and rather than fire up plaso, just to create a timeline of .bash_history data, it is nice to just be able to parse them and, if timestamps are enabled, see them in a human-readable form. I've had some students in class write scripts to do this and even had one promise to share it with me after class, but I never ended up getting it so I decided to write my own. This script takes the path to 1 or more .bash_history files and returns a PSV (pipe separated values) list (on stdout) in the form: || where the is in ISO-8601 format (the one true date time format, but only to 1 sec resolution since that his the best that the .bash_history file will give us). In a future version I will probably offer an option to change from PSV to CSV.

Former national park superintendents urge Trump administration to close parks in case of shutdown

A group of former national park superintendents is calling on the Trump administration to close the parks to visitors in case of a government shutdown. Forty former superintendents said in a letter to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum that past shutdowns in which parks have remained opened have led to the vandalism of iconic symbols, destruction of wildlife habitats and possible endangerment of visitors. They said parks are already under strain from a 24% reduction in staff and severe budget cuts. Leaving parks open to visitors in a possible shutdown will make it much worse, they said.
