The Sleuth Kit (previously known as TASK) is a collection of 
UNIX-based command line file system forensic tools that allow 
an investigator to examine NTFS, FAT, FFS, EXT2FS, and EXT3FS 
file systems of a suspect computer in a non-intrusive fashion. 
The tools have a layer-based design and can extract data from 
internal file system structures. Because the tools do not rely 
on the operating system to process the file systems, deleted 
and hidden content is shown.

This port replaces TASK, previously removed.

The Sleuth Kit (previously known as TASK) is the only open
source forensic toolkit for a complete analysis of Microsoft
and UNIX file systems.
It enables investigators to identify and recover evidence from
images acquired during incident response or from live systems.
Some of its features :
* Analyzes images generated by the open source 'dd' utility,
found on all UNIX systems and available for Windows systems.
* Supports the NTFS, FAT, FFS, and EXT2FS file systems. Images
of a different endian ordering than the analysis system can
be used.
* The tools are organized in a layered approach, where the names
in each layer start with the same letter to help the user identify
the function of the tool. The layers include File System, File
Name (directory entries and NTFS index trees), Meta-Data (UNIX
inodes and NTFS MFT entries), and Content (blocks and clusters).
* Identifies deleted files by name and location.
* Identifies the status of content units (blocks and clusters)
and meta-data structures.
* Maps the relationship of objects across different layers.
