ntfs-mft

问题 I try to read MFT table from my local disk from python. Of course, if I write something like this: input_file = open('C:\$MFT', "rb") I will get [ Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\$MFT' I tried to use pyMFTGrabber, but it doesn't work; I got a lot of "socket.errors". What the best and easy way to read this file, using Python? Maybe it is some WinAPI, or something else? After reading I want to analyze it with "analyzeMFT" 回答1: It's rather painful with python, since it's not exactly low-level.

问题 I am writing some code to parse through the MFT on disk in NTFS volumes. This is straightforward, but one particular corner case caught my eye, and I can't find a clear answer anywhere on the internet. For normal files in NTFS it is possible to have multiple MFT records for a single file, if the file has more attributes than can fit in a single record (for example, many $FILE_NAME attributes if the file has many hard-links, or many $DATA attributes if it has many Alternate Data Streams). The

问题 I'm seeking to use Change Journal instead of ReadDirectoryChangesW to track changes in my delphi XE2 application (as for why: ReadDirectoryChangesW is not that reliable) The closest I could find in delphi/pascal is something called Delphi MFT/Journal helpers, it contains two pascal units: uMFT.pas and uDevNotification.pas. The code above deal with MFT (very nicely actually), but nothing as far change journal goes. I also found this C# code, which seems to do what I want, only it's in C# My

问题 I am in the middle of writing a tool that finds lost files of an iTunes library, for both Mac and Windows. On the Mac, I can quickly find files by naming using the wonderful "CatalogSearch" function. On Windows, however, there seems to be no OS API for searching by file name (or is there?). After some googling, I learned that there are tools (like TFind , Everything ) that read the NTFS directory directly and scan it to find files by name. I would like to do the same, but without having to

问题 I am trying to read windows Master File Table (MFT) for fast enumeration of files. Till now I have seen two approaches to do this: As suggested by Jeffrey Cooperstein and Jeffrey Richter using DeviceIoControl Direct parsing of MFT as presented in some opensource tools and An NTFS Parser Lib For my project I am focusing on the approach [1]. The problem I am facing is mostly related to execution time. Just to be clear, following is my system and development enviornment: IDE - Visual Studio 2013

问题 I'm enumerating the files of a NTFS hard drive partition, by looking at the NTFS MFT / USN journal with: HANDLE hDrive = CreateFile(szVolumePath, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, NULL, NULL); DWORD cb = 0; MFT_ENUM_DATA med = { 0 }; med.StartFileReferenceNumber = 0; med.LowUsn = 0; med.HighUsn = MAXLONGLONG; // no change in perf if I use med.HighUsn = ujd.NextUsn; where "USN_JOURNAL_DATA ujd" is loaded before unsigned char pData[sizeof(DWORDLONG) +

问题 Closed. This question is off-topic. It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it's on-topic for Stack Overflow. Closed 3 years ago . Can anyone recommend a tool for MFT cleanup? I want to in my MFT restore the entries for files which once existed but have been deleted to a "pristine" state, with zeroed out entries. 回答1: This paper by Hal Berghel and David Hoelzer lists a whole bunch of products which claim to securely erase files. MFT

问题 In my project i want list out all files under a specific file path.Do to some user permission issue am using master file table to access all files. Using this thread I can able to read all files under a specific file location This one will list the file name and parent FRN,is there any way to list the file attributes also???? I want to show these details also. Created Date Modified Data File Size USN_RECORD contains these details. 回答1: You'd probably be better off using something more high

问题 For a project, I want to get the list of all free/used clusters on an NTFS partition. For this i have to dump the $Bitmap file and parse its contents. There are few API's and examples on the web, but however they don't seem to work. Is there a simple way/ code sample to just copy the $Bitmap file somewhere. Is using FSCTL_GET_VOLUME_BITMAP the only way? Ideally I would like to do it in C#. 回答1: NFI.EXE which is (used to be) part of the "oem support tools" can enumerate all NTFS partition
