The Sleuth Kit (TSK) is a library and collection of command line
tools that allow you to investigate disk images. The core
functionality of TSK allows you to analyze volume and file system
data. The plug-in framework allows you to incorporate additional
modules to analyze file contents and build automated systems. The
library can be incorporated into larger digital forensics tools and
the command line tools can be directly used to find evidence.
Sleuthkit can optionally use the following libraries to support
various disk image formats:
- libewf (for Expert Witness files)
- afflib (for Advanced Forensic Format files).
- libvhdi
- libvmdk
- libvslvm
Note: by default, Java support is disabled in this build. If you
require Java support, install a JDK (jdk, openjdk8, etc), source its
profile script, and run sleuthkit.SlackBuild with JAVA=yes in the
environment. Be warned that the Java build process downloads many
files, therefore it requires network access (something SlackBuild
scripts normally don't do).
