Hi,

Did you take a look at F.I.R.E. it's a live-CD with a lot of tools, for
example "autospy" wich is "marvalous" for collecting forensic data in a easy
and accepted manner.

Kind regards.

Subject: forensics tools - preserving data?



G'Day All,



Before I begin, I wanted to thank everyone who had provided 
me with direction on my last post regarding pgp.



Hopefully I have as simple a question as before.



I have a client who recently had to terminate an employee and 
part of their decision was based on dereliction of duty.  
Basically too much time spent surfing the internet and not 
performing her expected duties.



They have asked me to gather the internet history, temporary 
internet directory files, etc.



I can pull up the files, archive them and explain the 
information to them.  But how do I go about extracting the 
information (i.e. The internet address of the many files that 
lie in the temp internet dir) so I am able to present it in 
acceptable fashion that they might use it in a court of law 
as evidence should it come to that.



I have been looking but can't seem to find what I think I 
need.  I have located tools on 
http://www.networkintrusion.co.uk/fortools.htm

and see that NetAnalysis might prove useful but appears to 
be overkill.  Or is this exactly what I need?



Thanks in advance, again.
