Introducing 'Analysis of Apple Unified Logs: Quarantine Edition' [Entry 0]

I’ve decided to spend some time revisiting analysis of Unified Logs as blog series during this quarantine. It is the perfect topic to make bite sized and I can make it as long or as short as Coronavirus deems it so.

I’m planning of doing smaller blogs at least a couple times a week on a variety of topics such as:

  • Volume Analysis

  • User Logons

  • Airdrop

  • Network Access

  • GUI/Interface Items

  • iCloud

  • Continuity

  • Bluetooth

  • Backups

  • Software Installations

  • Temporal Changes

  • System State & Hardware

  • Siri

  • Apple Pay

  • HomeKit

  • Spotlight

  • Location

Unified logs will give me plenty of things to write about! Looking for something specific, run it by me!

I also plan on creating something like a reference sheet for the queries once I figure out the best place for it.

Let’s get logging!
