The current version serves as a foundation for what will eventually become a much more **powerful**, **versatile**, and **feature-rich** forensic analysis tool.\n\n### **What is DataDetective**\n\nDataDetective is a Python-based tool designed to **extract, analyze, and interpret forensic evidence** from **EWF disk images** and raw storage dumps. It aims to provide investigators with a **reliable** and **efficient** method to uncover critical data for forensic analysis.\n\n\u003cp align=\"right\"\u003e(\u003ca href=\"#top\"\u003e🔼 Back to top\u003c/a\u003e)\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## 🚀 Installation\n\n### Prerequisites  \n\n- **Linux** (Tested on **Debian GNU/Linux 12 Bookworm**, but should work on other distributions).  \n- **Python 3** (latest stable version recommended).  \n- **The Sleuth Kit (TSK)** - Essential for forensic disk analysis.  \n- **RegRipper** - Critical for extracting Windows registry artifacts.  \n\n### Getting DataDetective\n\n#### Option 1: One-liner with `Invoke-WebRequest` (Recommended)\n```shell\ncurl -O https://github.com/franckferman/DataDetective/blob/stable/src/DataDetective/DataDetective.py\n```\n\n#### Option 2: Clone via Git\n```shell\ngit clone https://github.com/franckferman/DataDetective.git\n```\n\n#### Option 3: **Direct Download** from GitHub\n1. Go to GitHub repo.\n2. Click `\u003c\u003e Code` → `Download ZIP`.\n3. Extract the archive to your desired location.\n\n\u003cp align=\"right\"\u003e(\u003ca href=\"#top\"\u003e🔼 Back to top\u003c/a\u003e)\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## 🎮 Usage\n\n### Getting started\n\nOnce installed, you can start using DataDetective with the following commands:\n\n❔ Get Help:\n```shell\npython3 DataDetective.py -h\n```\n\n⚖️ Check Image Integrity:\n```shell\npython3 DataDetective.py -i image.ewf --check-image\n```\n\n📋 List Image Partitions:\n```shell\npython3 DataDetective.py -i image.ewf --show-partitions\n```\n\n📁 List Partition Files:\n```shell\npython3 DataDetective.py -i image.ewf --show-files\npython3 DataDetective.py -i image.ewf --show-files -r  # Recursive listing\n```\n\n🗂️ Show a Specific Directory:\n```shell\npython3 DataDetective.py -i image.ewf --show-dir /path/to/directory\n```\n\n🔎 Extract Data:\n```shell\npython3 DataDetective.py -i image.ewf -e ALL -o /path/for/output\n```\n\n\u003cp align=\"right\"\u003e(\u003ca href=\"#top\"\u003e🔼 Back to top\u003c/a\u003e)\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## 📚 License\n\nThis project is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License, Version 3.0.
