The Sleuth Kit (previously known as TASK) is a collection of UNIX-based command line file system and media management forensic analysis tools. The file system tools allow you to examine file systems of a suspect computer in a non-intrusive fashion. Because the tools do not rely on the operating system to process the file systems, deleted and hidden content is shown. The media management tools allow you to examine the layout of disks and other media. The Sleuth Kit supports DOS partitions, BSD partitions (disk labels), Mac partitions, Sun slices (Volume Table of Contents), and GPT disks. With these tools, you can identify where partitions are located and extract them so that they can be analyzed with file system analysis tools.
To install sleuthkit, run the following command in macOS terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal)
sudo port install sleuthkit
To see what files were installed by sleuthkit, run:
port contents sleuthkit
To later upgrade sleuthkit, run:
sudo port selfupdate && sudo port upgrade sleuthkit
