Greetings,

I am playing around with the idea of using libguestfs as a forensic tool to investigate VM disk images.

Some use cases as example:
 * Sandbox for malware analysis.
 * Incident response in cloud environments.

Libguestfs is a precious resource in this case as it allows to abstract the disk image internals and expose them as mountable devices.

Combined with some state of the art tool such as The Sleuth Kit it would turn it into a pretty powerful forensic tool.

I played around with some proof-of-concept and the idea seems to work.

The question I'd like to ask is if this feature would interest the libguestfs community or if I shall fork the project (libguestforensic?) and, if so, what is the preferable way to do it.

Thank you.
