Explanation
PyTSK (also known as pytsk3) is the official Python binding for The Sleuth Kit. It allows forensic investigators to programmatically access disk images, partitions, file systems, directories, and file metadata directly from Python scripts. This enables automation of tasks such as file enumeration, timeline creation, deleted file recovery, and artifact extraction--core activities in disk and file system forensics.
