Open Source Digital Forensics tools collection.

This site initially started by Brian Carrier is now maintained by a team of volunteers, contains a large repository of open source digital forensics tools, papers, images and procedures on digital forensics. If your favourite open source tool is not listed on this site, you can submit it to get added to the list.


Excerpts from the 'About this  site' page of site:

The Open Source Digital Forensics site is a reference on the use of open source software in digital investigations. As shown in the papers section, open source software may have legal benefits over closed source software.

• An investigator can learn and testify about what her open source forensic analysis tools did.
• An investigator can testify about the conditions that existed in the suspect's open source software for a piece of evidence to be generated (i.e. a log entry).

We do not claim that open source tools are superior to closed source tools. Both can have serious bugs and faults and produce errors. This site provides an easy reference for investigators who are interested in using open source analysis tools during an investigation.
