XT_ExtractDocsMail v1.0.0
First public release of XT_ExtractDocsMail, an X-Tension for X-Ways Forensics (x64)
that automatically exports the files of a forensic image organized by category,
rebuilding each file's original path — all from a single command line.
What's included
XT_ExtractDocsMail.dll— 64-bit X-Tension, ready to use.- Full source and build instructions are in the repository.
Requirements
- X-Ways Forensics x64 (tested on the 21.x series; category retrieval requires v18.9+).
- Windows.
Quick start
set "XT_OUT=Y:\Export" && "C:\xwf21.7\xwforensics64.exe" "NewCase:W:\xways" "AddImage:Y:\Images*.E01" RVS:~ "XT:C:\xwf21.7\XTension\XT_ExtractDocsMail.dll" auto
Output layout: <Root>\<Evidence>\<Category>\<original file path>
Important
The tool exports only files that X-Ways has already assigned a category to. Categories are
populated by file type verification during Refine Volume Snapshot — that is why RVS:~
runs before XT: in the command above. Without type verification, nothing is exported.
