README

        
libewf is a library to access the Expert Witness Compression Format (EWF).

Project information:

* Status: experimental

* Licence: LGPLv3+

Read or write supported EWF formats:

* SMART .s01 (EWF-S01)

* EnCase

  * .E01 (EWF-E01)

  * .Ex01 (EWF2-Ex01)

Not supported:

* .Ex01 (EWF2-Ex01) bzip2 compression (work in progress)

* .Ex01 (EWF2-Ex01) encryption

Read-only supported EWF formats:

* Logical Evidence File (LEF)

  * .L01 (EWF-L01)

  * .Lx01 (EWF2-Lx01)

Other features:

* empty-block compression

* read/write access using delta (or shadow) files

* write resume

Work in progress:

* Dokan library support (experimental)

* Python bindings (including Python 3 support)

* write EWF2-Ex01 support

* Multi-threading support

Planned:

* write EWF-L01 and EWF2-Lx01 (long-term)

The libewf package contains the following tools:

* ewfacquire; which writes storage media data from devices and files to EWF files.

* ewfacquirestream; which writes data from stdin to EWF files.

* ewfdebug; experimental tool does nothing at the moment.

* ewfexport; which exports storage media data in EWF files to (split) RAW format or a specific version of EWF files.

* ewfinfo; which shows the metadata in EWF files.

* ewfmount; which FUSE mounts EWF files.

* ewfrecover; special variant of ewfexport to create a new set of EWF files from a corrupt set.

* ewfverify; which verifies the storage media data in EWF files.
