It seems like that code just builds random-ish data that conforms to the wanted file format and then gives it incriminating names. For example:

[1] https://github.com/hackedteam/rcs-common/blob/38290d4eab2b2c...

[2] https://github.com/hackedteam/rcs-common/blob/38290d4eab2b2c...

That could plausibly be a tool for generating test data for forensics tools. The hardcoded paths don't make a lot of sense for actually trying to plant evidence.

I would guess that's part of a codebase for generating sales demos before LEOs.
