v1.1.0

Updated Windows Data Miner (Voyager)

• Re-ordered everything (As in the directory structure): The structure of the Voyager script has been reorganized for better clarity and efficiency. This includes a more intuitive directory layout that groups related functions and data together, making it easier for users to navigate and understand the script's operations thus allow easier bug-fixes and contibutions.

• Fixed minor bugs: A critical issue where the PowerShell script component of the Voyager system would not open due to an unrecognized file type has been resolved. Additionally, the UACPY script, which was previously malfunctioning, has been fixed to ensure it opens and executes correctly.

• Rechanged how UACPY Works: The UACPY script has been significantly updated. It now includes a more robust method for checking and toggling the User Account Control (UAC) settings, ensuring a smoother and more reliable operation. This update also includes improved error handling and user feedback mechanisms to provide clear instructions and feedback during the process.

• Removed logging as it stopped working Bug: The logging functionality, which was previously integral to the Voyager system, has been removed due to a persistent bug that prevented it from functioning correctly. This decision was made to ensure the stability and reliability of the system.

• Cleaned up the miner.py, renaming to voyager.py and separating the 3 key functions to different python files:

  • Zipper.py: This script is responsible for compressing and organizing data collected by Voyager. It ensures that all data is neatly packaged and ready for easy access and backup.
  • Copy_System_Files.py: This script focuses on the copying of system files. It has been optimized for efficiency, ensuring that the process is both quick and reliable.
  • System_Info_Grabber.py: This script is dedicated to gathering system information. It has been streamlined to improve the accuracy and speed of data collection.

• Increased the Copying and Searching Efficiency: The scripts responsible for copying and searching through system files have been significantly optimized. This includes the use of more efficient algorithms and the implementation of parallel processing techniques, which have resulted in a noticeable increase in speed and efficiency.

• Renamed all files for easier debugging: To facilitate easier debugging and maintenance, all scripts and components have been renamed to more descriptive and intuitive names. This change makes it simpler to identify and address issues as they arise.

• Added Quality of life changes: Several quality of life improvements have been implemented, including more user-friendly prompts and error messages, as well as the addition of a help menu within the Voyager system. These changes aim to make the user experience smoother and more intuitive.

• Made the whole process 2 times faster: Through a combination of the above optimizations and improvements, the overall process of data collection, organization, and backup has been accelerated by a factor of two. This significant speed increase makes the Voyager system more efficient and user-friendly than ever before.

v1.0.1-alpha

Updated Windows Data Miner (Voyager) - Version 1.0.1-alpha

Bug Fixes

Improved Efficiency in log.md File Generation

• log.md File Generation: The process for generating the log.md file has been streamlined and optimized. The class function responsible for this task has been revised to enhance efficiency and reduce resource consumption.

Corrected Command in ReadMe.md for UAC.py

• UAC.py Command Correction: An error in the command listed under the ReadMe.md file for UAC.py has been rectified. This correction ensures that users can correctly execute the script as intended, facilitating smoother operation and troubleshooting.

Version Highlights

• Efficiency Improvements: The optimization of the log.md file generation process marks a significant enhancement in the application's performance and resource management.
• Corrective Measures: The correction of the command in ReadMe.md for UAC.py addresses a critical issue, ensuring accurate execution and functionality of the script.

Conclusion

The release of version 1.0.1-alpha of the Windows Data Miner (Voyager) brings important bug fixes aimed at improving the overall user experience and operational efficiency. By addressing issues related to the generation of the log.md file and correcting inaccuracies in the ReadMe.md documentation for UAC.py, we strive to make Voyager more robust and user-friendly. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to continuing to improve the Voyager system based on your insights and experiences.

Launch

• Added Windows Data Miner: The main program, A comprehensive script designed to gather and organize critical system information, including network details, hardware specifications, and user-specific data, by executing a series of operations such as copying and renaming files, executing PowerShell scripts, and capturing system logs, all while ensuring the output is neatly formatted and saved for future reference.

• Added Windows Feature Logger: A script for saving enabled Windows features to a user-specific file in the "DATA" folder.

• Added Directory Tree Logger: A script that captures the directory structure of the C: drive and saves it to a file named after the current user, ensuring the output is neatly organized and user-specific.

• Added Media Data Mover: A Python script that estimates the size of user-specific folders (Music, Pictures, Videos), asks for user confirmation, and then copies these folders to a "DATA" directory within the script's directory, providing a progress bar for the copying process.

• Added Password Hunter: A comprehensive script that searches the file system, desktop, registry, and popular browsers for stored passwords, copying found files to a "DATA/found_passwords" directory and displaying the results, including those from Chrome and Opera's encrypted password databases.

• Added User-Specific Data Copier: A PowerShell script that systematically copies user-specific data from various applications and system directories, such as Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Windows system configurations, into a "DATA" directory, neatly organized by user and application, ensuring all relevant data is safely backed up and easily accessible.

• Added Antivirus Scanner: A PowerShell script designed to scan the file system for mentions of various antivirus software names, leveraging the tree command to recursively list files and directories, and then searching through this output for matches. This script is particularly useful for identifying installed antivirus software or related files, providing a quick overview of the security landscape of a system.

• Added UAC Toggler: A Python script that checks if it's running with administrative privileges and, if not, requests elevation. Once elevated, it executes a PowerShell script (UAC.ps1) that toggles the User Account Control (UAC) setting in the Windows registry. The PowerShell script checks the current UAC status and either enables or disables UAC based on its current state. After toggling, it prompts the user to restart the computer to apply the changes. This tool is useful for quickly enabling or disabling UAC, which can be helpful in certain troubleshooting or configuration scenarios.
