ntfscat − print NTFS files and streams on the standard output
[options] device [file]
ntfscat will read a file or stream from an NTFS volume and display the contents on the standard output.
The case of the filename passed to ntfscat is ignored.
Below is a
summary of all the options that ntfscat accepts.
Nearly all options have two equivalent names. The short name
is preceded by − and the long name is preceded
by −−. Any single letter options, that
don’t take an argument, can be combined into a single
command, e.g. −fv is equivalent to −f
−v. Long named options can be abbreviated to any
unique prefix of their name.
−a, −−attribute TYPE
Display the contents of a particular attribute type. By default, the unnamed $DATA attribute will be shown. The attribute can be specified by a number in decimal or hexadecimal, or by name.
Notes
The attribute names may be given without the leading $
symbol.
If you use the $ symbol, you must quote the name to prevent
the shell interpreting the name.
−n, −−attribute−name NAME
Display this named attribute, stream.
−i, −−inode NUM
Specify a file by its inode number instead of its name.
−f, −−force
This will override some sensible defaults, such as not using a mounted volume. Use this option with caution.
−h, −−help
Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.
−q, −−quiet
Suppress some debug/warning/error messages.
−V, −−version
Show the version number, copyright and license ntfscat.
−v, −−verbose
Display more debug/warning/error messages.
Display the contents of a file in the root of an NTFS volume.
ntfscat /dev/hda1 boot.ini
Display the contents of a file in a subdirectory of an NTFS volume.
ntfscat /dev/hda1 /winnt/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
Display the contents of the $INDEX_ROOT attribute of the root directory (inode 5).
ntfscat /dev/hda1 −a INDEX_ROOT −i 5 | hexdump −C
