This version is in moderation and has not yet been approved. This means it doesn't show up under normal search.
- Until approved, you should consider this package version unsafe - it could do very bad things to your system (it probably doesn't but you have been warned, that's why we have moderation).
- This package version can change wildly over the course of moderation until it is approved. If you install it and it later has changes to this version, you will be out of sync with any changes that have been made to the package. Until approved, you should consider that this package version doesn't even exist.
- You cannot install this package under normal scenarios. See How to install package version under moderation for more information.
- There are also no guarantees that it will be approved.
There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.
scans any kind of input (disk images, files, directories of files, etc)
and extracts structured information such as email addresses, credit card numbers,
JPEGs and JSON snippets without parsing the file
system or file system structures. The results are stored in text files that are easily
inspected, searched, or used as inputs for other forensic processing. bulk_extractor also creates
histograms of certain kinds of features that it finds, such as Google search terms and email addresses,
as previous research has shown that such histograms are especially useful in investigative and law enforcement applications.
Unlike other digital forensics tools, bulk_extractor
probes every byte of data to see if it is the start of a
sequence that can be decompressed or otherwise decoded. If so, the
decoded data are recursively re-examined. As a result, bulk_extractor
can find things like BASE64-encoded JPEGs and
compressed JSON objects that traditional carving tools miss.

bulk-extractor has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.
Guidelines
Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.
Notes
Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.
