The Sleuth Kit is an open-source collection of command-line tools designed for digital forensics and incident response. It allows forensic investigators to analyze disk images and recover evidence from file systems and various types of storage media. The suite provides detailed forensic capabilities including file system analysis, data extraction, and artifact reconstruction. It supports multiple file systems, including NTFS, FAT, exFAT, HFS+, and ext2/3/4, among others. The Sleuth Kit is often used in conjunction with graphical front-end interfaces like Autopsy to offer a more user-friendly experience.
