You are to write a program or script to try and parse out email addresses and phone numbers from the data files.
The data files may be disk images or memory images. They will be in raw/dd format.

Bonus: Command-line options for extracting phone numbers and email addresses

ex: ./dataExtractor -phonenumbers -emails
The above would extract both, whereas

ex: ./dataExtractor -emails
The above would only extract email addresses

Turn in source code and output from running it on sample file.

The image was acquired using FTK imager on a 256MB USB drive. Some data is on drive in allocated space and some in unallocated space.

I am currently running it through Autopsy and will post the list of emails it finds so that you have some results to compare to.

My script creates 2 files as output:

emails.txt which contains the emails it carved and phones.txt containing the phone numbers it carved

These are just what mine found, but your answers may vary. It is best to look at the phone numbers and emails to see if they look valid. I matched phone numbers of the format:

(xxx) xxx.xxxx
(xxx).xxx.xxxx
(xxx) xxx-xxxx
(xxx)-xxx-xxxx
xxx.xxx.xxxx
xxx-xxx-xxxx
xxx xxx-xxxx
xxx xxx.xxxx
*************************************************************************************************************************
I wanted to post an update on the emails.

So my current script matches 46,322 emails (3875) unique.
This is using only characters a-zA0-Z0-9._ as valid characters in the username and domain portions. Obviously an @ sign is also in the email address.

This is also ensuring that the TLD is a 2 to 4 character a-zA-Z pattern
