Description-en: Advanced Forensics Format Library (utilities)
The Advanced Forensic Format (AFF) is on-disk format for storing
computer forensic information. Critical features of AFF include:
.
- AFF allows you to store both computer forensic data and associated
metadata in one or more files.
- AFF allows files to be digital singed, to provide for
chain-of-custody and long-term file integrity.
- AFF allows for forensic disk images to stored encrypted and
decrypted on-the-fly for processing. This allows disk images
containing privacy sensitive material to be stored on the Internet.
.
This package provides the AFF Toolkit, that is a set of programs for
working with computer forensic information. Using these tools you can:
* Interconvert disk images between a variety of formats, including:
- raw or "dd";
- splitraw (in which a single image is split between multiple files);
- AFF format (in which the entire disk image is stored in a single
file);
- AFD format (in which a disk image is stored in multiple AFF files
stored in a single directory);
- AFM format (in which an AFF file is used to annotate a raw file).
* Compare disk images and report the data or metadata that is different.
* Copy disk images from one location to another, with full verification
of data, metadata, and the automatic generation of a chain-of-custody
segment.
* Find errors in an AFF file and fix them.
* Print information about a file.
* Print detailed statistics about a file
* Generate a XML representation of a disk image's metadata (for example,
acquisition time or the serial number of the acquisition device).
* Produce a XML "diskprint" which allows a disk image to be rapidly
fingerprinted without having the computer the SHA1 of the entire
disk.
.
The AFF Toolkit provides these executables: affcat, affcompare, affconvert,
affcopy, affcrypto, affdiskprint, affinfo, affix, affrecover, affsegment,
affsign, affstats, affuse, affverify and affxml.
