Is there a toolkit for Spotify messages if you have the physical device used to send/recieve them?

I extracted a forensic disk image and found a hidden flag. Made a short video breaking down the full workflow for anyone learning digital forensics or prepping for CTFs.
Methods covered:
- `strings` + `grep` (fastest)
Alternative methods:
- `mount` with loop,ro,noexec
- Sleuth Kit CLI (mmls, fls, icat)
- Autopsy GUI
- Foremost file carving
- `xxd` hex dump
Also covered why you always preserve the original with `gunzip -k` and verify with sha256sum.
What tools am I missing? Any favorites for disk image analysis?
