### fls - List Files and Alternate Data Streams
```bash
# Recursive file listing with ADS
fls -r -o 2048 evidence.dd
# Filter for ADS entries (lines containing ":")
fls -r -o 2048 evidence.dd | grep ":"
```
### icat - Extract File Content by Inode
```bash
# Extract $MFT (inode 0)
icat -o 2048 evidence.dd 0 > MFT
# Extract ADS content
icat -o 2048 evidence.dd 14523:Zone.Identifier
```
### istat - Display Inode Details
```bash
istat -o 2048 evidence.dd 14523
```
## analyzeMFT (Python)
```bash
pip install analyzeMFT
analyzeMFT.py -f MFT -o mft_output.csv -c
```
## USN Journal Parsing
