[sleuthkit-users] blkcat fails to output textfile

[Kai P. <ka...@po...>]

Hello sleuthkit folks,

I try do display the content of a text file with the help of blkcat. But
the output is none. I did sync before.

# cat /mnt/not-encrypted-disk/sensitive-file.txt sensitive text
# ls -li /mnt/not-encrypted-disk/sensitive-file.txt
12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15 Jan 24 17:15
/mnt/not-encrypted-disk/sensitive-file.txt

Souldn't 'blkcat /dev/sdb1 127754 ' display the content of the file? How
do I blkcat the content of the file? Thanks in advance.
