File slack can contain leads and evidence in the form of fragments of word processing communications, Internet E-mail communications, Internet chat room communications, Internet news group communications and Internet browsing activity. As a result, this program is a good tool for use in computer related investigations. It also acts as a good validation tool for use with computer security programs which are designed to eliminate file slack, e.g., NTI's M-Sweep ambient data scrubbing software.
File slack is a significant source of computer security leakage.
