I suggest that you acquire CD Cracking Uncovered by Kris Kaspersky from
AList (www.alistpublishing.com). It's about the best technical description
of CDs you will find.

I am trying to determine when a CD-R was created. The created, and
modified dates on this particular CD are December 31, 1994 and contain
a single .cda audio file of a conversation that took place in 2004. I
know that MAC times can be altered, the system clock rolled back etc.
and one of those methods was obviously used in this instance.
What I'm wondering is, what other date info is possible to retrieve
from such a CD? I suppose if the system clock was rolled back, any
program that included its own timestamp (like Nero does) would also be
'off' and I feel this is probably the case. However, if the MAC times
were altered, the timestamp info left by the burning software would
not be changed.
Also, I know Nero leaves a clear signature that it was the software
used when examining the hex data of a CR. Is there a fairly uniform
way of finding out what program was used to burn a disc, network name
of the computer, etc? Or is it just done with searches in winhex?
Thanks in advance.
