TSK_COMPAREDIR(1)	     General Commands Manual	       TSK_COMPAREDIR(1)

NAME
     tsk_comparedir  -	compare the contents of a directory with the contents of
     an image or local device.

SYNOPSIS
     tsk_comparedir [-vV] [-n start_inum ] [ -f fstype ] [ -i  imgtype	]  [  -b
     dev_sector_size ] [ -o sector_offset ] image [images] comparison_directory

DESCRIPTION
     tsk_comparedir  compares  the contents of image to the contents of compari-
     son_directory.  This can be useful for detecting rootkits and when testing.
     Rootkits can be detected by comparing the contents of a local directory and
     a local raw device.  The rootkits typically don't hide data when it is read
     directly from the raw device.

     The arguments are as follows:

     -o sector_offset
	    Sector offset for a partition in the  image  or  device  to  compare
	    with.

     -n start_inum
	    Starting  inum  for a directory in the image to start the comparison
	    at.

     -v     verbose output to stderr

     -V     Print version

     -f fstype
	    Specify the file system type.  Use '-f list' to list  the  supported
	    file system types.	If not given, autodetection methods are used.

     -i imgtype
	    The  format  of  the image file, such as raw.  Use '-i list' to list
	    the supported types.  If not given, autodetection methods are used.

     -b dev_sector_size
	    The size (in bytes) of the device sectors.	If not given, autodetec-
	    tion methods are used.

     image [images]
	    The disk or partition image to read,  whose  format  is  given  with
	    '-i'.   Multiple image file names can be given if the image is split
	    into multiple segments.  If only one image file is	given,	and  its
	    name  is  the  first  in a sequence (e.g., as indicated by ending in
	    '.001'), subsequent image segments will be included automatically.

EXAMPLES
     To compare the directories in image.dd to those in directory:

	  # tsk_comparedir ./image.dd ./directory
