WHAT ARE THE BEST PROGRAMS FOR DIGITAL FORENSICS

[Xphile]

Although I'm not very experienced with digital forensics, I'll link you to a few tools I have heard of:

- GuyMager - Forensic Disk Imager
- FTK - Forensic Toolkit (I have an eBook for usage of FTK in this thread if you need it.)
- chkrootkit - Rootkit diagnosis utility
- HashDeep aka. MD5Deep - Creates multiple message digests of a file (MD5, SHA1, SHA256 etc.)
- Binwalk - Firmware analysis tool, searches for embedded files and executable code.

Hope this helped, OP. 🤝

DumpIt is probably the best tool to extract volatile memory from a Windows machine as it creates the smallest possible fingerprint on the machine
For Linux use LiME, but it becomes tricky if your target has a custom kernel so you have to create V-Types first.

FTK Imager Lite is pretty good. You can make a .ad1 file of the memory and then examine it. you can basically investigate a whole filesystem without worrying of compromising anything. And i mean anything. You can carve files and even registry keys, if you know here and who to search! ;)

Volatility is the #1 go-to tool for RAM examinations but it doesn't support latest Linux kernels.

For file carving use bulk_extractor, exiftool, scalpel, and foremost

Your answer has been given. There's some pretty good tools in here. However, don't forget people don't really enjoy reading posts that are typed in caps. Blink twice and you'll have some angry Ubers on your ass lmao.
