Hello,

Thank you for your advice in advance. In running this tool I have a few questions about the conf file. One, I ran this on an image searching for MS doc files. I got what appears to be duplicate entires (00001040.doc & 00001040_1.doc) Why the duplicate entries. One is 10 bytes and the other is 12,500 kb (which is the default in foremost.conf).

The questions I have are the following. 1). What is the max in foremost.conf? Can I change it to unlimited (eof). 2). I ran strings on one of the files and it showed me what appeard a combination of mulitiple files. Is it possible that it is not pulling out 1 specific .doc file. I did set the conf file to to pull only .doc files. How can find the original name of the file? You can tell that its not just a .doc file , even saw this (This program cannot be run in DOS mode.) listed in the file. When I run file against the file I get MS office document.

Thanks for your help.
