      FSTools - FileSystem Investigator
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    DETAILS

    FileSystem Investigator is a platform independent file system viewer and
    data extraction tool. It allows the user to:
     * View the contents of the target file system in a forensically safe
    manner, bypassing the normal operating system mechanisms
     * Extract files and whole directory trees of files from the source file
    system

    Since it is written in platform-neutral Java, it can be used to examine
    file systems outside their native environment. For example, it can be used
    to view a Linux file system while running under Windows.

    Supported Filesystems:
    FileSystem Investigator is designed to be able to handle many different
    file systems.

    Currently ReiserFS version 3 and the Second Extended File System
    (EXT2/EXT3) are supported.

    How it works:
    FileSystem Investigator directly accesses the source disk and processes
    the data using it own built in file system drivers. This ensures that it
    is safe to use FileSystem Investigator for forensic investigations.
    FileSystem Investigator will never write to the source media thus
    important timestamps are preserved. FileSystem Investigator can also read
    disk-image files such as those created by dd. Files and whole directory
    structures can be extracted easily from the source drive and stored for
    further use or analysis. Due to limitations imposed by Java, special files
    such as device nodes, pipes, sockets and links, cannot be extracted.
