Matt LaPlante

Hyper Hasher is a utility that allows you to calculate hash/checksum and HMAC values for any file on your system, as well as for a text string. Hash and checksum values are used to verify the integrity of computer files, as well as to uniquely identify them. The process of hashing a file basically involves reading the entire file, and applying various mathematical algorithms to its contents, in order to produce a text string (the "hash"). The hashing process does not in any way alter the files being read. Hyper Hasher is capable of calculating 26 different hashes and checksums!

The RDS can be used by law enforcement, government, and industry organizations to review files on a computer by matching file profiles in the RDS. This will help alleviate much of the effort involved in determining which files are important as evidence on computers or file systems that have been seized as part of criminal investigations.

Time estimation - md5deep can produce a time estimate when it's processing very large files.

mac-robber

*nix

Brian Carrier

http://www.sleuthkit.org/mac-robber/desc.php

mac-robber is a digital investigation tool that collects data from allocated files in a mounted file system. This is useful during incident response when analyzing a live system or when analyzing a dead system in a lab. The data can be used by the mactime tool in The Sleuth Kit to make a timeline of file activity. The mac-robber tool is based on the grave-robber tool from TCT and is written in C instead of Perl.

mac-robber requires that the file system be mounted by the operating system, unlike the tools in The Sleuth Kit that process the file system themselves. Therefore, mac-robber will not collect data from deleted files or files that have been hidden by rootkits. mac-robber will also modify the Access times on directories that are mounted with write permissions.

"What is mac-robber good for then", you ask? mac-robber is useful when dealing with a file system that is not supported by The Sleuth Kit or other file system analysis tools. mac-robber is very basic C and should compile on any UNIX system. Therefore, you can run mac-robber on an obscure, suspect UNIX file system that has been mounted read-only on a trusted system. I have also used mac-robber during investigations of common UNIX systems such as AIX.

OnlineDFS - Online Digital Forensics Suite

Server:  Windows XP

Cyber Security Technologies Corporation

http://www.cyberstc.com

OnlineDFS enables network-based, real-time investigations of live, running computer systems. It is ideal for rapid incident response, compliance management and e-discovery in enterprises, and for the needs of law enforcement. OnLineDFS enables the rapid, forensically sound examination of a computer without disrupting the operations of the enterprise. It delivers an extensive suite of functionality for the investigation and capture of volatile and persistent data from the computer under examination.

Key benefits and features of OnLineDFS include:

- Examines running systems: The fundamental goal of OnLineDFS is to capture information from a running system - volatile information that is lost when traditional disk duplication approaches are used. This information includes open ports, running processes, related applications and files, network connections, listening servers and memory. There are several vital benefits:
1. Information is gathered about the running state of the target computer that cannot be gained any other way;
2. This information can be critical to quickly identifying a potential problem and initiating corrective action in time to make a difference
3. Information can be gathered cost-effectively, without disrupting the operations of the target computer.

- Begins with "triage" of the target computer, and enables an investigation to proceed wherever the initial results lead
Target computers can include
* Microsoft Windows XP Professional
* Microsoft Windows 2000
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003
* Microsoft Windows NT 4
* Redhat Linux 9
* Redhat Enterprise Server
* Redhat Fedora Core
* Suse Linux 8 - United Linux version
* FreeBSD 4.10
* Solaris 8 - SPARC hardware only
* Mac OS X - version 10.3

- Minimizes impact to and disruption of the target system
- Operates as inconspicuously as possible
- Offers protection from unauthorized investigations
- Requires no preloaded software
- Supports secure remote investigation
- Adheres to forensic best practices
- Provides an easy-to-use user interface
- Allows for use of third-party tools
