Hello everyone )
does anyone know if there is some sort of free tool for extracting strings from emails contained in a pst outlook file? and why not put them into a text file that i can use as a dictionary?
i used pfflib tools sometimes for extracting emails from pst archives or simply to gather basic informations on such files, so maybe there is a tool or a procedure for also indexing text in emails?
thnx in advice for your effort )
In theory you could use FTK 1.x as the demo version takes up to 5000 items without a dongle. So as long as your PST isn't going to be larger than that you should be able to do it.
mhhh i can try….
but having something open to do this would be better.
maybe i can try to extract all the emails in the pst using pfflib tools and then try to run a recursive string command on all the extracted data, but i dunno if it will give me a good result.
glimpse is open source and can index raw text.

In related news, an interesting comparison of other open source indexing engines. Maybe someday we'll get these to index forensic data?
