[sleuthkit-users] Binary outputs from task (SEC: UNCLASSIFIED)

[Lisman, J. F. <Jar...@de...>]

Hi, I am just experimenting with task and autopsy and am having some
troubles. Every time (I have done it on two different systems now) that I
try to create the data and timeline files in autopsy, the data creation
seems to go fine but when doing the timeline I get a Malformed UTF-8
Character error. This then brings up garbage in the timeline file. On
further inspection I find that there is spurious characters indicitive of
binary in the body file (These are causing the Malformed UTF Character error
I would say) So that implies to me that fls and ils seem to be outputting
some binary stuff where they are not meant to be.
The drive I have the image from is formatted in ext3, could this be the
problem? I am also using RH 8.0 to run autopsy and task.

Does anyone know where I have gone wrong?

Thanks
