# Section common

This plugin includes common jobs to all operation systems.

You can use this plugin to:

  • Mount disks an partitions
  • Characterize sources
  • Get timeline for filesystems
  • Parse browsers and social media apps
  • Search keywords in disk strings

Many other plugins use jobs and modules from this plugin to retrieve general information.
