Proving file creation dates
- by Nils Munch
In a weird case surrounding copyrights of a software system I have developed, I use the fact that I have all the source files of the system in question, created long before I joined the company that claims to own the system.
The company being sued by yours truely says that I have simply manipulated to files to appear to be from that date.
Is it even possible to fake or manipulate creation dates ? And if so, how can I "prove" that the files really are that old ?
Luckily, I stored my project on GitHub, whick confirmed the fact that the files are from that era, but that is besides the point.
I run purely Apple OS X.
