Ask HN: Data assets – Automated filesystem exploration?

1 pointleblancfg1 comment

Given the task to list and inventory a bunch of data assets on a large amount of drives, what would be your go-to tools?

Is anyone aware of any software, scripts, etc. that might help in the task of finding "interesting" datasets on very large filesystems?

Anything helps. Thanks.

What kind of "interesting" data are you looking for and in what environment. I'll assume you are doing some type of forensics. Maybe these tool can help you?
