Description
By chance I came across the fact (no pun intended) that 7z can extract vmdk files (virtual machine storage files). fact_extractor currently defaults to unblob for these which (potentially) produces a lot of garbage.
This can easily be addressed by adding a vmdk mime type to the 7z plugin. Sadly, there is no mime identification for vmdk, only a full file type (e.g. VMware4 disk image
) is given.
In the file repository https://github.com/file/file/magic/Magdir/virtual
the two lines corresponding to this are:
0 string/b VMDK VMware4 disk image
0 string/b KDMV VMware4 disk image
