Take input files to scan from a config file.
Hi, I defined my targets to be scanned as a number of symbolic links. Then I call bulk_extractor in recursive mode:
bulk_extractor -R my_targets/ -o my_output
But it seems, BE doesn't follow symbolic links, so nothing is scanned. And there seems to be no option to change that.
It doesn’t follow symbolic links to avoid loops and to prevent a mounted file system from analyzing your host directory. How many symlinks are in your link directory? Why not run it for each target and combine the outputs?

I see. I will do so, but I have to investigate more on how to do the combination and postprocessing manually. These are between 100 and 100,000 targets.
How about an input config file that specifies the targets?
