+Description: tools for forensics analysis on volume and filesystem data
+ The Sleuth Kit, also known as TSK, is a collection of UNIX-based command
+ line file and volume system forensic analysis tools. The filesystem tools
+ allow you to examine filesystems of a suspect computer in a non-intrusive
+ fashion. Because the tools do not rely on the operating system to process the
+ filesystems, deleted and hidden content is shown.
+ .
+ The volume system (media management) tools allow you to examine the layout of
+ disks and other media. You can also recover deleted files, get information
+ stored in slack spaces, examine filesystems journal, see partitions layout on
+ disks or images etc. But is very important clarify that the TSK acts over the
+ current filesystem only.
+ .
+ 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 filesystem analysis tools.
+ .
+ Currently, TSK supports several filesystems, as NTFS, FAT, exFAT, HFS+, Ext3,
+ Ext4, UFS and YAFFS2.
+ .
+ This package contains the set of command line tools in The Sleuth Kit.
