switch dfVFS to use alternative FAT and exFAT implementation instead of libtsk

Open joachimmetz opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

The libtsk FAT and exFAT implementations have issues:

  • gaps in format support https://github.com/py4n6/pytsk/issues/82
  • serious code weaknesses https://github.com/sleuthkit/sleuthkit/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Ajoachimmetz+

Look for / create a more reliable alternative

  • [x] complete initial version of libfsfat/pyfsfat https://github.com/libyal/libfsfat/issues/1
  • [x] add back-end https://github.com/log2timeline/dfvfs/pull/672
  • [ ] add support for codepages - https://github.com/log2timeline/dfvfs/issues/114
  • [ ] switch default FAT back-end
