Examine the metadata associated with the E01 by running ewfinfo

ewfinfo your_image.e01

Let’s create a mount point that we’ll use to mount the E01 as a raw device

mkdir -p /mnt/ewf_mount

Now, mount the E01 forensic image to a new raw device

ewfmount your_image.e01 /mnt/ewf_mount

A successful mount operation will provide a very minimal output such as “ewfmount 20140812”

You will now have a stream-decompressed raw device at /mnt/ewf_mount/ewf1 :

ls -alh /mnt/ewf_mount

Create a new mount point for the logical mount we’re about to perform, and then mount the device to the new logical mount point.

mkdir -p /mnt/logical_mount

mount -o ro,show_sys_files,streams_interface=windows \
 /mnt/ewf_mount/ewf1 /mnt/logical_mount

Pro Tip: create a bash alias that simplifies this mount command for the future, allowing you to replace it with simply mountwin — you must reload bash for it to take effect.

echo “alias mountwin='mount -o ro,show_sys_files,streams_interface=windows'“ >> ~/.bash_aliases

Now, change directory into the logical mount point, and examine the file system!

cd /mnt/logical_mount
ls -alh
