[sleuthkit-developers] Scalpel Help

[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

We _almost_ had scalpel integrated into Autopsy for a release, but ran into some problems and got side tracked on another project for a while. So, we are asking for help in the mean time so that we can get carving into Autopsy sooner than later.

Vico and Golden allowed us to change the license of Scalpel to be Apache 2 so that we can tightly integrate it into Autopsy -- THANKS!  We (Basis Tech) modified it so that we can use it as a library and not extract unallocated space to disk and then carve it.  

But, there are some memory leaks in scalpel and running it in Autopsy causes it to eventually fall over because all of the memory is gone.  We fixed some leaks, but some still remain.  If any C/C++ developers have some cycles, it would be appreciated if you could help profile the code and fill some of the leaks.  

Latest code is on github:
