Description-en: Forensics Environment - extra console components (metapackage)
This package provides the extra components for a forensics environment. All
here available tools are text console based. None of these tools were packaged
by Debian Security Tools Team. This metapackage includes the most programs to
data recovery, rootkit and exploit search, filesystems and memory analysis,
image acquisition, volume inspection, passwords crackers, dictionaries (all
put in /usr/share/dict), disassemblers, special actions over the hardware and
many other activities.
.
The idea is provide several packages via APT, to avoid forgetting something
when creating a specialized environment, specifically designed to operate
outdoor.
.
There are not an intent to provide tools for remote attacks. So, some packages
can be provided to allow a local analyses over pcap files. Other packages can
be used to find vulnerabilities inside a LAN which is being investigated.
.
Other examples are hexedit and mc packages. mc provides mcview. The hexedit
and mcview are able to manipulate very large files.
.
