Free Computer Forensics Tools

Posted on | July 13, 2010 | No Comments

I recently came across a post that offers links to a few free computer forensics tools.  I’m familiar with most of them, but there are always new tools to try.  I’m interested in the Ubuntu guide on using a live CD, as I’ve been stubbornly sticking with the last  free version of Helix and it’s starting to get a little long in the tooth.

If you think these little utilities are handy, be sure to check out Nirsoft – they make a ton of nifty little Windows utilities that are nice to have in your toolbelt.

One other thing I’m going to check out soon is Windows Forensic Environment, which is simply a few scripts designed to allow you to create your own Windows ISO image.  I haven’t played with this one much yet, but I expect to when I get some free time next week and I hope to have a more in-depth review then.  Maybe I’ll even cover some of the other ISOs that I’ve been inspecting to replace Helix as my favorite forensic linux distro!
