dissect.target.container.Container
Base class that acts as a file-like object wrapper around anything that can behave like a “raw disk”.
Containers are anything from raw disk images and virtual disks, to evidence containers and made-up binary formats. Consumers of the
Container
class only need to implementseek
,tell
andread
. Override__init__
for any opening that you may need to do, but don’t forget to initialize the super class.- Parameters:
fh – The source file-like object of the container or a
Path
object to the file.size – The size of the container.
vs – An optional shorthand to set the underlying volume system, usually set later.
- static detect_path(path: pathlib.Path, original: list | BinaryIO) bool #
Detect if this
Container
can be used to openpath
.The function checks wether file inside
path
is formatted in such a way that thisContainer
can be used to read it. For example, it validates against the file extension.- Parameters:
path – A location to a file.
original – The original argument passed to
detect()
.
- Returns:
True
if thisContainer
can be used for this path,False
otherwise.
