Command List

Individual parsers are grouped by their source type. Run juntei --help, juntei <SOURCE> --help, or juntei <SOURCE> <ARTIFACT> --help to explore them:

juntei parse-ntfs --help
juntei parse-registry amcache --help
juntei parse-file prefetch -d evidence/ -o prefetch.csv

For a multi-computer Windows evidence collection, use juntei auto-parse -d <EVIDENCE> -o <OUTPUT>. It invokes the same grouped commands and organizes results and logs by computer and investigative category.

For a timeline across parsed artifacts, use juntei super-timeline -d <PARSED> -o SuperTimeline.csv. It expands and labels timestamp meanings. Output is unsorted by default; add --sort for chronological order and duplicate consolidation. auto-parse -j continues to retain native records.

Source types and format changes

Groups describe the formats Juntei currently supports. parse-registry amcache reads Amcache.hve; it does not imply support for SQLite Amcache inventory databases. Artifact parser crates remain separate so support for another storage format can be added independently.

The former flat parser names have been replaced by the source-and-artifact paths above. Keep existing parser options after the artifact name. auto-parse and existing registry subcommands keep their names.

Persistence Hunter

juntei persistence-hunter hunts across several source formats, so it is a top-level analysis command. It complements the full configuration inventory from parse-registry persistence with 131 checks, allow/block classification, payload metadata, coverage, and timestamp correlation.
