Features

• Digital Forensics and Incident Response Platforms - Provides a comprehensive platform for analyzing disk images and identifying digital evidence for forensic investigations.
• Digital Forensics and Analysis - Provides a graphical interface for the deep-dive investigation, extraction, and analysis of digital evidence.
• Analysis Tools - Ships a system for deep forensic examination of hard drives and raw disk images to recover digital artifacts.
• Forensics And Artifacts - Facilitates computer forensic investigations by searching file systems and disk images for legal or security artifacts.
• Case Management Databases - Provides a centralized database to store forensic metadata and analysis results across multiple case files.
• Metadata Databases - Uses a structured metadata database to maintain forensic analysis results across different user sessions.
• Forensic Workspace Management - Provides a centralized workspace for organizing and analyzing recovered data from multiple disk images.
• Plugin-Based Architectures - Features a modular architecture allowing the extension of ingestion and reporting via predefined Java interfaces.
• Forensic Evidence Management Suites - Provides a centralized suite for organizing forensic metadata and analysis results across multiple evidence sources.
• Forensic Capability Extensions - Supports the creation of custom plugins to add specialized forensic data gathering capabilities.
• JNI Bridges - Uses JNI bridges to integrate low-level C and C++ forensic libraries for direct disk image analysis.
• Event Ingestion Pipelines - Utilizes an event-driven architecture to run modular ingest modules asynchronously for artifact identification.
• Forensic Ingestion Pipelines - Implements a modular, background pipeline for ingesting and processing digital evidence from disk images.
• Automated Data Workflows - Allows development of custom plugins to automate data ingestion and result presentation workflows.
• Background Process Offloading - Offloads heavy forensic data processing to background workers to keep the graphical user interface responsive.
• Native Library Integrations - Integrates native C and C++ forensic libraries using low-level bindings for disk image analysis.
• Forensic Report Modules - Provides modular report generation that separates data analysis from output formatting.
• Forensic Tools - Allows the development of custom plugins and modules to automate data ingestion and reporting for forensic tools.
• Forensic Frameworks - Implements a modular Java-based architecture that allows extending forensic data ingestion and report generation through plugins.
