Abstract
A system and method for processing data stored in data storage devices is described. A computing processor acquires blocks of data from a target machine and computes an entropy value associated with each block of the acquired data. The computing processor checks the entropy values of each block to determine whether or not the particular block is deemed to contain useful data, before that block is analyzed.
