Abstract
In some examples, a computing device creates an event log when an event occurs. If the event log includes a path comprising one or more components, the computing device may determine a hash, using a hash function and a salt, for each of the components and substitute each component in the path with an index to the hash stored in a dictionary. In this way, the computing device replaces each component of the path with an index to a hash in the dictionary to create a modified path. The resulting modified path can be traversed and searched. For example, a search term may be hashed using the hash function and salt, and the dictionary associated with the logs searched for a match. In this way, a particular file name or a particular folder name can be identified in the modified path.
