ifind

Version 2.09

Purpose

Finds the meta-data structure that has data_unit allocated a data unit or has a given file name. In some cases any of the structures can be unallocated and this will still find the results.
There are several required and optional arguments. The image file names must be specified each time:

Usage

ifind [-avVl] [-f fstype] [-d data_unit] [-n file] [-p par_inode] [-z ZONE] [-i imgtype] [-o imgoffset] image [images]

Options

Switch Purpose
image [images] One (or more if split) disk or partition images whose format is given with ’-i’..PP

You must also specify what you are looking for and include one of the following:

-d data_unit Finds the meta data structure that has allocated a given data unit (block, cluster, etc.)
-n file Finds the meta data structure that is pointed to by the given file name.
-p par_inode Finds the unallocated MFT entries in an NTFS image that have the given inode as the parent. Can be used with ’-l and -z’.
Optional Arguments
-a Find all meta-data structures (only works when looking with a data_unit).
-f fstype Specify the file system type. Use the -? argument for list of supported types. If not given, the default type for the platform is used.
-l List the details of each file found with ’-p’, like ’fls -l’.
-i imgtype Identify the type of image file, such as raw or split. Raw is the default.
-o imgoffset The sector offset where the file system starts in the image. Non-512 byte sectors can be specified using ’@’ (32@2048).
-v Verbose output to stderr.
-V Display version.
-z If ’-p -l’ were given, this will set the timezone for the correct times.

Example

# ifind -f fat -d 456 fat-img.dd
# ifind -f linux-ext2 -n "/etc/" linux-img.dd
# ifind -f ntfs -p 5 -l -z EST5EDT ntfs-img.dd

History

ifind first appeared in TCTUTILs v1.0 as find_inode.
