That's a nice one. Is there any tool that can help me detect sparse files in Linux that may contain a file system and have there other files that the suspect didn't want us to see? Not taking in consideration paid tools such as Axiom, Encase etc..

[@BlueMonkey4n6]

Autopsy is free and runs in Linux. Or else you can manually use a combination of tools like "find" to find the sparse file then use "disktype". If there is a file system in that sparse file, it's basically just a dd so disktype should be able to tell you the different file systems contained in that file.

Thanks for the video. Funny that you use Python instead of bc for calculation. ;)

[@BlueMonkey4n6]

Haha you saw that! I started to use python as a calculator a few years ago in my classes to encourage students to learn python.
