parse data from dirty chunks

[xambroz]

Hello,
during HTB CTF 2023 I have noticed that the evtx_dump.py (nor evtx_dump_json) has the complete data.
There is event in attached sysmon log about executing "rclone", but it is not visible using the python-evtx:

Not displayed event:
"C:\Users\wade\AppData\Local\Temp\rclone-v1.61.1-windows-amd64\rclone.exe" config create remote mega user majmeret@protonmail.com pass FBMeavdiaFZbWzpMqIVhJCGXZ5XXZI1qsU3EjhoKQw0rEoQqHyI

workaround:
using https://github.com/libyal/libevtx or https://github.com/WithSecureLabs/chainsaw

Best regards
Michal Ambroz

evtx_dump.py exports only events 1-57.
evtxexport from https://github.com/libyal/libevtx exports events 1-96
