Large List of Free Forensic Software

While I personally have never gotten into forensics due to liability reasons, it has always been something that has interested me. Recently, one of our forum members (mm201) posted an amazing resource with a large collection of free forensics tools for Windows, Mac and Linux as well as iOS, Android & Blackberry devices. If you are already doing forensics work or simply have an interest in it, be sure to check out this site:

The tools on the site are divided into the following categories:

• Disk tools and data capture
• Email analysis
• General tools
• File and data analysis
• Mac OS tools
• Mobile devices
• File viewers
• Internet analysis
• Registry analysis
• Application analysis

If you do wish to get involved with forensics, find out what training and licensing requirements you need to have to operate in your state. Do not do forensics work without the appropriate training and licensing as these things need to be done in a very specific way and you could open yourself up to a lawsuit if you do it incorrectly.
