MacForensicsLab Powerful Apple Macintosh OS X

MacForensicsLab Powerful Apple Macintosh OS X based forensics software-- a complete suite of forensics and analysis tools in one cohesive package. Designed to work on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux storage devices - MacForensicsLab provides an exceptional solution for law enforcement professionals.

Mac Forensics LabForensics professionals have long been hampered by the lack of comprehensive forensics software tools for the Macintosh. The current Macintosh based forensics utilities are either loosely bundled application programs that need to be supplemented by other third party products, or non-intuitive software requiring the use of Terminal and knowledge in UNIX.

MacForensicsLab is the first all-in-one, easy-to-use forensics software suite for Mac OS X. Not only does it have all the components required for evidence gathering and reporting, MacForensicsLab is also extremely straightforward to use. With a few clicks, you can analyze, catalog, duplicate, or salvage most Macintosh, Windows, or Linux storage devices. In addition - machine details, events, discoveries, and recoveries are logged, minimizing many of the potential pitfalls in gathering evidence.

The beta/trial version is now available online for forensics professionals to download. To facilitate feedback, usage techniques, and issues reporting on the product, a discussion board has been setup at (http://www.MacForensicsLab.com/bulletinboard). Users interested in learning forensics techniques specific to Mac OS X are encouraged to register.

Written specifically for Mac OS X, MacForensicsLab includes powerful features that give a user excellent flexibility and control in data analysis, evidence retrieval, and facts reporting:
* Extensive detailed logs to support you in understanding and presenting your evidence.
* Industrial strength device imaging to create a disk image of a device for data analysis.
* In depth catalogs traversing directories to catalog all files as well as to zero in on suspect material.
* Keyword searching and analysis to explore the data of a file or device block by block.
* File salvaging and extraction to recover as many files as possible from the suspect's drive, media, folders, or files (such as caches and embedded pictures).
* Disk arbitration management to prevent writing to the suspect device accidentally.
* Drive cleaning to ensure the data recovered does not accidentally contain data from the previous case.
