SYNOPSIS
time-decode [-h] [--unix] [--umil] [--wh] [--whle] [--chrome] [--active] [--uhbe] [--uhle] [--cookie] [--oleb] [--olel] [--mac] [--hfsdec] [--hfsbe] [--hfsle] [--fat] [--msdos] [--systime] [--ft] [--hotmail] [--pr] [--auto] [--ms1904] [--ios] [--sym] [--gps] [--eitime] [--bplist] [--gsm] [--vm] [--tiktok] [--twitter] [--discord] [--ksuid] [--mastodon] [--meta] [--sony] [--uu][--guess] [--timestamp [DATE]] [--version]

DESCRIPTION
time-decode provides the functionality to decode various timestamps and UUIDs to aid digital forensics and incident response processes. The supported formats range from common ones, like Unix epochs, WebKit/Chrome timestamps and Microsoft's FILETIME to more exotic formats like LDAP/Active Directory timestamps and Metasploit payload UUIDs. In addition, even timestamps used by some social media services, like Twitter, are included.
