Abstract
We have developed a program called |fiwalk| which produces detailedXML describing all of the partitions and files on a hard drive or diskimage, as well as any extractable metadata from the document filesthemselves. We show how it is relatively simple to create automateddisk forensic applications using a Python module we have written thatreads |fiwalk|'s XML files. Finally, we present threeapplications using this system: a program to generate maps ofdisk images; an image redaction program; and a data transfer kioskwhich uses forensic tools to allow the migration of data from portablestorage devices without risk of infection from hostile software thatthe portable device may contain.
