[sleuthkit-developers] DFXML Schema draft validates Fiwalk output

[Alex N. <ajn...@cs...>]

Hi all,

This is an annotation for a patch I realize now could've been titled with
some more vigor:
<https://github.com/sleuthkit/sleuthkit/pull/212>

There is now a draft XML Schema that validates the output of Fiwalk, once
that patch with XML code motion is merged.  The schema is at this
repository:
<https://github.com/dfxml-working-group/dfxml_schema>

The schema's version currently includes "rfc" for "Request for comments."
 It would be helpful for any Fiwalk or DFXML users to provide feedback on
the schema.

As for how to give feedback, anybody is welcome to:
* Join the discussion mailing list, df...@ni...: <
https://email.nist.gov/mailman/listinfo/dfxml>;
* Open a Github Issue on the schema repository (which may be cleanest for
easily actionable issues); or
* Email the sleuthkit-users or sleuthkit-developers list (or even me).

I don't mean to overload the sleuthkit lists.  The DFXML working group is
trying to make DFXML a topic of a bigger community than just TSK.  However,
discussion wherever it occurs will be good discussion.
