| PackageDescription | library for forensics analysis on volume and file system data
The Sleuth Kit (previously known as TASK) is a collection of UNIX-based command
line file and volume system forensic analysis tools. The file system tools
allow you to examine file systems of a suspect computer in a non-intrusive
fashion. Because the tools do not rely on the operating system to process the
file systems, deleted and hidden content is shown.
.
The volume system (media management) tools allow you to examine the layout of
disks and other media. The Sleuth Kit supports DOS partitions, BSD partitions
(disk labels), Mac partitions, Sun slices (Volume Table of Contents), and GPT
disks. With these tools, you can identify where partitions are located and
extract them so that they can be analyzed with file system analysis tools.
.
This package contains the library which can be used to implement all of the
functionality of the command line tools into an application that needs to
analyze data from a disk image. |
