Roadmap: * support missing segment files (chunks) * multiple platform device handle * libbfio API extensions (partial) * low and high level API   - to allow low level access to sections etc. (for recovery) * lvf support   - add support for interaction with data in ltree section   - use libpff like item approach? * xsignature section to sign xhash and/or hash * library/tools enhancements   - getoptlong * internationalisation   - Unicode support (added)   - locale support (partial)   - multi language string support (gettext) * enhance thread safety   - protect writing to internal data structures   - protect reading when writing to internal data structures   - thread safe functions   - check for race conditions especially on change of data elements Further analysis of the EWF format: * password hash * volume/disk section (EWF-E01)    - do EnCase 5 or earlier versions support 64-bit amount of sectors?    - unknowns * hash section (EWF-E01)   - 16 byte unknown * values in EnCase5/6 header2 (+/-) * values in ltree strings (EWF-L01 LVF) * values in session section (+/-) * amount of sectors in volume/data section has changed to a 64-bit value   but what about error2/sessions ? * does newer linen6 has sha1 support? Features * resume write support for ENCASE1/SMART table sections ? * support missing segment files (chunks) * implement low memory usage option   - trade off IO versus memory use Recovery and analysis: * imaging: detect disk full and ask for new segment file location?   - have libewf allow to set the segment file path during write (done)   - like alternative segment file path in EnCase     however EnCase seems to fully test if the segment file upfront by     allocating the necessary disk space * recovering corrupt EWF files (missing segment file, corrupt sections, etc.)   - can the values in data be used to correct a corrupted volume ? Additional (integrity) checks: * read: check if successive headers match first header * read: add check for next and done segment   - really the last segment in the file   - offset pointing at themselves   - correct size Possible performance improvements: * create a offset table per segment file   - create it on demand   - map offset table start entry from segment table as a pointer or index number ? * fill offset table while reading ?   - only read first and last segment file for index build?   - add offsets of other segment files when needed * tune read and write buffer sizes   - read/write block size seems to have little effect for dd on average   - buffered bfio ? * reduce alloc, realloc and free (this reduces breaks) use strace to analyze   - pass values as parameters or use of handle   - what allocation causes the break in strace of ewfacquire with compression libewf? zlib? * optimize empty block test * optimize string functions   - pass length/size as much as possible * pass zero byte empty block compressed data cache as a pointer   do not copy data to compressed chunk cache Error handling/tollerance * what about a function that translates error into an equivalent errno? * have wchar error messages for WINAPI? * improve offset table correction   - if not correctable skip chunk while reading and mark as crc error     or try to determine offset/size of chunk somehow Python bindings * rewrite pyewf to match libewf API   - library module functions   - handle object   - keep file object for legacy support ? * implement error backtrace support in v2 API version * keep certain Python function names as alias * use Unicode strings API changes * add wide character functions definitions by default? * libbfio API extension   - add means to set pools open handle limit in libewf (partial completed)   - add means to obtain libbfio handle of media data in ewf   - add means to set narrow string codepage   - export libewf_glob_file_io_handle     refactor glob functions to use libbfio handle input and return libbfio pool?     think about libewf_glob_file_io_handle and abstration of file io handle get/set name * low level API   - add function to retrieve the segment file names and amount?   - add function to retrieve EWFX xml header/hash directly * LVF   - libewf_add/remove_file for LVF * file structure API extension (idea) device handle * add Windows support for accessing memory device * detect removable disk * detect optical disk * determine optical disk sessions * detect floppy * move fstat to file_io ? * improve error detection and output (refactor error string like libbfio) * detect bus type * determine USB serial number ewftools: * add getoptlong support * log handle   - implement libpff log handle * make compilation resilient for missing crypto library   - compile on system without libcrypto   - remove the cryptographic options if crypto library is missing * have failed on open return a more sensible error (extract from error) * ewfacquire   - restrict error granularity and amount per sectors to > encase5 and > linen5 format ?     no, although not set in EWF file, the granualarity is still used in handling read errors   - warn if values exceed maximum segment count   - adjust error granularity if error granularity < process buffer size   - move ewfacquire_read_buffer to device_handle, list read errors   - warn if media does not fit using chunk size or APIv1     a (32-bit) chunks size of ( 64 * 512 ) will allow up to 128 TiB   - for EnCase 6 format request serial number and model if not set ? * ewfacquirestream   - what about wipe on error - does this do anything? (remove if not used)   - add parameter to set sector size?   - allow user to set bytes per sector for raw file conversion * stream handle   - implement * ewfalter   - allow to set maximum delta file size default 4 GiB? * ewfexport   - implement more ewfacquire acquiry parameters?   - handle different input and ouput chunk sizes in low level functions build   - allow different input and output header codepages?   - handle ewf/raw like in smioexport   - creates write only raw export file with msvscpp compilation * ewfdebug   - create a tool to analyse a single segment file   - implement low and high level api separation * ewfrecover   - create a tool recover ewf files Windows build * windows port   - some of the Windows functions are MVC 2005 or later specific   - figure out a way to warn about the compiler used * add WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN or VC_EXTRALEAN to msvscpp * locale support   - print output convert to system string   - reduce string conversions, use as much as possible the system string type in the tools * ewftools check char/wchar in/output Testing * add export unattended to automated tests * add encase 6.12 sha1 support to test Deployment * debian package   - implement non local libuna and libbfio support like in spec file * configure   - remove enable-v1-api after testing? Known issues: * error acquiring USB floppy with bad blocks under FreeBSD - no problem with internal floppy drive   virtualisation could be part of the problem * check chunk size for > 2 GiB table offsets   the current assumption is that these chunks only can be uncompressed   because the MSB is normally used to mark if the chunk is compressed   This actually is a bug in EnCase 6.7.1 the behavior is gone in EnCase 6.8 * MS Visual Studio C++ does not allow pre compiler macro in macro definitions Work in progress: * check sprintf use    - liberror -> liberror_error_vsnprintf    - libewf -> libewf_hash_values, libewf_header_values    - ewftools -> byte_size_string, guid * what about header values parsing with preservation of timestamps?   - change localtime to gmtime in libewf_date_time_values_copy_to_string ?   - force set header value to require string formatted in the date format ? * check TODO * ewfexport: fix different input and output chunk sizes for low level functions * test: read/write of EnCase 6.12 SHA1 Beta after next stable release * remove DISABLED in ewfexport * move manuals/ewfexport.1.backup to manuals/ewfexport.1 * check into resume write error

ewfcommon for different buffer size testing 20061201 * added optimalization definitions - for testing * implemented chunk cache passthrough * added configuration parameters for buffer passthrough and chunk cache passthrough   - buffer passthrough does not seem to enhance the performance significantly   - chunk cache passthrough does not seem to enhance the performance significantly * ewfacquire: ask or determine media type (fixed and removable) * added EWFX format (expirimental)   - (basically EWF-E01 based format)   - allows for section xheader, which contains header information in XML and

for size*16 in ewf_string_uncompress   - the length starts out with a factor 2 and keeps increasing by a factor 2 until string can be decompressed * moved process status and summary functions to ewfcommon * added process summary to ewfexport * read: will uncompress chunk directly to chunk sized buffers for non compressed chunks * are both the segment table and section list file descriptor value needed - can this be a single value?   - the file descriptor in the section list was used as safe guard only - removed * Only use the chunk cache when the input buffer size does not suffice for

data needs to be skipped   - in libewf_sections_read_segment   - in libewf_read_chunk - added segment number to offset table and file offset to segment table     for basic offset tracking * found issues in documentation   - EnCase1 (EWF-E01) format stores its chunks in the table sections not in the sectors section     it uses an EWF-S01 alike layout   - SMART in FTK Imager has a CRC at the end of the offset table * fixed read and write regarding issues in documentation * read: fixed error in recognizing FTK imager format 20061127 * worked on performance enhancements * changed ewf_crc_calculate to make use of zlib's adler32 function instead of algorithm derived of CRC algorithm by Andrew Rosen   - this improves the performance significantly ;-) * changed libewf_endian

wchar_t * change char* to EWF_CHAR* or LIBEWF_CHAR*   - allow for char and w_char interfacing with library   - use LIBEWF_CHAR for char/w_char wrapping and EWF_CHAR for byte strings in EWF file format, CHAR_T required for wchar_t support in basic functions   - make internal EWF related strings byte strings (EWF_CHAR) - make string functions safe to be char or uint8_t   - use string.x for string functions * string: added length to libewf_string_search * string: added length to libewf_string_split * ewfacquire: added wchar_t support for utsname_buffer.sysname * ltree: changed ewf_tree_data_read * ewfinfo: added stored MD5 hash * ewfacquire: added print read errors on exit * all: in read and write functions add file_descriptor test - not necessary libewf_common functions do check this 20061122 * worked on string and char types * windows has: wmain for wide character arguments * moved getopt code to ewfgetopt for wmain support * moved glob code to ewfglob * changed

acknowledgements 20060821 * read: added basic support for L01 files, which are basically EWF files * renamed ewf_file_signature to evf_file_signature - closer to the truth * ewfacquire: compensate for maximum S01 file size in ewf file size question - determine maximum   - not relevant because there is a maximum of chunks within the file but the   other data could grow to the 2 GiB 20060820 * ewfacquire: small change to confirmation 20060819 * lifted the 255 segment file limit on write, however it uses an (horrible) increment based naming scheme much like EnCase   write: allow more than 255 segment files - completed * write: worked on SMART (EWF-S01) support * write: SMART (EWF-S01) - build in support for table2 * all: add SMART support - complete * worked on - all: due to 20060505

(EWF-S01) support * alternative read method was removed, the assumption it was based on is no longer valid   read: remove alternative read method the assumption behind is fails for the SMART format - completed * renamed alternative write method to wipe block on read error   write: rename the alternative write method to wipe_block_on_error (or something) - completed * read random: chunk based size check now is a buffer based size check * removed handle->chunk_crc no longer needed * for the EWF-S01 format the entries in table2 are appended to the offset table - have yet to test a file with a table2 section * write: worked on SMART (EWF-S01) support 20060817 * read: worked on SMART (EWF-S01) support 20060816 * ewfacquire: add overview to confirm user input, otherwise restart input query - completed * ewfacquire: make encase5 file option default - completed * fixed incorrect order for values in header2 on write - also in documentation 20060812 * made the amount of read error retries flexible and user adjustable through ewfacquire * correction of "int result" in file_write to be C89 code compliant * new file size algorithm to fill up closer to max file size when compressing   write: change algorithm to fill files upto file size - completed * added empty block compression   write: always compress empty chunks - completed as an option 20060809 * fixed size bug for large images on Cygwin - fix of 20060610 not sufficient for Cygwin * fixed invalid value in printf volume read verbose messages * added autoconf/automake structure 20060708 * renamed endian.h to

timestamp is now generated only once * write: fixed incorrect free in header values * write: fixed memory corruption bug in ewfacquire - required explicit zero of string 20060605 * fix of data corruption bug - one off * ewfacquire: sanitize input provided by user * ewfinfo/eqwfacquire ? 1970 date when no case data is provided - bug in split function regarding first empty value * removed
