analyzing-disk-image-with-autopsy

analyzing-disk-image-with-autopsy is a skill for Claude Code from 26zl/cybersec-toolkit. It costs 32 tokens per session (2,705 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of analyzing-disk-image-with-autopsy, MIT.

A forensic investigation workflow for examining a disk image, which is a file containing a copy of a storage drive. It uses Autopsy to recover files, inspect system traces, and build a timeline of activity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to recover files, search for keywords, inspect file-system details and embedded artifacts, identify known files by hashes, and create reports or investigation timelines.
Why use it?
It organizes evidence from a copied drive so investigators can search it and understand what happened. This is useful when files were deleted or several evidence sources must be combined.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

analyzing-disk-image-with-autopsy scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/agent.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Analyzing Disk Image with Autopsy

When to Use

  • When you have a forensic disk image and need structured analysis of its contents
  • During investigations requiring file recovery, keyword searching, and timeline analysis
  • When non-technical stakeholders need visual reports from forensic evidence
  • For examining file system metadata, deleted files, and embedded artifacts
  • When building a comprehensive case from multiple disk images

Prerequisites

  • Autopsy 4.x installed (Windows) or Autopsy 4.x with The Sleuth Kit (Linux)
  • Forensic disk image in raw (dd), E01 (EnCase), or AFF format
  • Minimum 8GB RAM (16GB recommended for large images)
  • Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 8+ for Autopsy
  • Sufficient disk space for the Autopsy case database (2-3x image size)
  • Hash databases (NSRL, known-bad hashes) for file identification

Workflow

Step 1: Install Autopsy and Configure Environment

# On Linux, install Sleuth Kit and Autopsy
sudo apt-get install autopsy sleuthkit

# Download Autopsy 4.x (GUI version) from official source
wget https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/releases/download/autopsy-4.21.0/autopsy-4.21.0.zip
unzip autopsy-4.21.0.zip -d /opt/autopsy

# On Windows, run the MSI installer from sleuthkit.org
# Launch Autopsy
/opt/autopsy/bin/autopsy --nosplash

# For Sleuth Kit command-line analysis alongside Autopsy
sudo apt-get install sleuthkit

Step 2: Create a New Case and Add the Disk Image

1. Launch Autopsy > "New Case"
2. Enter Case Name: "CASE-2024-001-Workstation"
3. Set Base Directory: /cases/case-2024-001/autopsy/
4. Enter Case Number, Examiner Name
5. Click "Add Data Source"
6. Select "Disk Image or VM File"
7. Browse to: /cases/case-2024-001/images/evidence.dd
8. Select Time Zone of the original system
9. Configure Ingest Modules (see Step 3)
# Alternatively, use Sleuth Kit CLI to verify the image first
img_stat /cases/case-2024-001/images/evidence.dd

# List partitions in the image
mmls /cases/case-2024-001/images/evidence.dd

# Output example:
# DOS Partition Table
# Offset Sector: 0
# Units are in 512-byte sectors
#      Slot    Start        End          Length       Description
#      00:  -----   0000000000   0000002047   0000002048   Primary Table (#0)

#      02:  00:01   0001026048   0976771071   0975745024   NTFS (0x07)

# List files in a partition (offset 2048 sectors)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
