CAINE offers a complete forensic environment that is organized to integrate existing software tools as software modules and to provide a friendly graphical interface.
The main design objectives that CAINE aims to guarantee are the following:
Main features:
WinTaylor, forensic frontend for Windows environment
Html page IE-compatible to run the forensic tools in Windows
Ntfs-3g updated to 2009.1.1 (resolve a ntfs-3g bug)
New boot option: text mode.
Ubuntu 8.04 packages updated
Firefox 3.0.6
Gtkhash, frontend for hashing files
New reporting features: investigators and case name added
Multi-language report: italian, english, german, french and portuguese
Firefox starts with the list of tools and a brief utilization manual
WinTaylor is the new forensic interface built for Windows and included in CAINE Live CD. It is written in Visual Basic 6 to maximize compatibility with older Windows systems, and provides an internal set of well-known forensic programs.
WinTaylor proposes a simple and complete forensic software integration and inherits the design philosophy of CAINE. To ensure transparency of the operations performed by WinTaylor during its execution, we have made available the source code of the program, that is licensed under the Lesser GPL License 2.1. The code is visible and editable, for the benefit of developers and to preserve the good standards of open source forensic software. The interface is structured in the familiar CAINE’s tabs style, and implements the well-known reporting system to record the investigative sessions.
Features
Report creation tool, that saves in a plain and portable text file the list of used programs with time-stamps .
Tabbed structure that gives a logical schema to the investigation process.
Command-line tools that print their output inside WinTaylor.
Updated Sysinternals tools
Versatile hashing tool
Snapshot tool
