fiwalk – print the filesystem statistics and exit
Synopsis
fiwalk [options] iso-name
Description
fiwalk is a program that processes a disk image using the SleuthKit library and outputs its results in Digital Forensics XML, the Attribute Relationship File Format (ARFF) format used by the Weka Datamining Toolkit, or an easy-to-read textual format. This application uses SleuthKit to generate a report of all of the files and orphaned inodes found in a disk image. It can optionally compute the MD5 of any objects, save those objects into a directory, or both.
Options
- -c config.txt
- read config.txt for metadata extraction tools
- -C nn
- only process nn files, then do a clean exit
Include/exclude parameters; may be repeated:
- -n pattern
- only match files for which the filename matches the pattern. Example: -n .jpeg -n .jpg will find all JPEG files. Case is ignored. Will not match orphan files.
- -n pattern
Ways to make this program run faster:
- -I
- ignore NTFS system files
- -g
- just report the file objects – don’t get the data
- -O
- only walk allocated files
- -b
- do not report byte runs if data not accessed
- -z
- do not calculate MD5 or SHA1 values
- -Gnn
- Only process the contents of files smaller than nn gigabytes (default 2). Use -G0 to remove space restrictions.
- -I
Ways to make this program run slower:
- -M
- Report MD5 for each file (default on)
- -1
- Report SHA1 for each file (default on)
- -f
- Report the output of the ‘file’ command for each
- -M
Output options: -m = Output in SleuthKit ‘Body file’ format
- -A<file>
- ARFF output to <file>
- -X<file>
- XML output to a <file> (full DTD)
- -X0
- Write output to filename.xml
- -Z
- zap (erase) the output file
- -x
- XML output to stdout (no DTD)
- -T<file>
- Walkfile output to <file>
- -a <audit.txt>
- Read the scalpel audit.txt file
- -A<file>
Misc:
- -d
- debug this program
- -v
- Enable SleuthKit verbose flag
- -d
