  Does the same as this page, just that it is an uncomprehensible mess of broken links. But they have soe good ideas!

  Their main techniques seem to be:
  ``
  mkdir binout
  for file in blk*dat; do echo "$file"; binwalk --dd='.*' "$file" -C binout/. --log=binout/"$file""res.txt"; done
  ``
  and:
  ``
  mkdir subfileout
  for file in blk*dat; do mkdir subfileout/"$file"; done
  for file in blk*dat; do echo "$file"; hachoir-subfile --category=image,video,audio,container,archive,misc "$file" subfileout/"$file" > subfileout/"$file""subfile.txt"; done
  ``
  which seem promising.

  These are installable on Ubuntu 23.10 with:
  ``
  sudo apt install binwalk hachoir
  ``

  TODO how to they automatically map back to transaction IDs? There is a line "Script to add the TX ID to each file." Our attempts: <Get transaction id from position in dat file>{full}
