Description
ewfverify is a utility to verify media data stored in EWF files.
ewfverify is part of the libewf package. libewf is a library to access the Expert Witness Compression
Format (EWF).
ewf_files the first or the entire set of EWF segment files
The options are as follows:
-Acodepage
the codepage of header section, options: ascii (default), windows-874, windows-932, windows-936,
windows-949, windows-950, windows-1250, windows-1251, windows-1252, windows-1253, windows-1254,
windows-1255, windows-1256, windows-1257 or windows-1258
-ddigest_type
calculate additional digest (hash) types besides md5, options: sha1, sha256
-fformat
specify the input format, options: raw (default), files (restricted to logical volume files)
-h shows this help
-llog_filename
logs verification errors and the digest (hash) to the log filename
-pprocess_buffer_size
the process buffer size (default is the chunk size)
-q quiet shows minimal status information
-v verbose output to stderr
-V print version
-w zero sectors on checksum error (mimic EnCase like behavior)
-x use the chunk data instead of the buffered read and write functions.
Diagnostics
Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. Verbose and
debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation.
Environment
None
Examples
ewfverify can either verify the raw storage media data or logical file data stored in EWF file(s).
