+plaso (Forensic Super-Timeline)
+
+Plaso is the Python based back-end engine used by tools such as log2timeline
+for automatic creation of a super timelines. The goal of log2timeline (and
+thus plaso) is to provide a single tool that can parse various log files and
+forensic artifacts from computers and related systems, such as network equipment
+to produce a single correlated timeline. This timeline can then be easily
+analysed by forensic investigators/analysts, speeding up investigations by
+correlating the vast amount of information found on an average computer system.
+
+Please pay close attention to the build order for plaso and its requirements
+(particularly dfvfs). Read the README files and do NOT rely on automated
+package tools.
