Re: forensics tools - preserving data?

[GuidoZ <uberguidoz () gmail com>]

There are a myraid of forensic tools out there free for the taking.
Being I'm not fully versed in them all, I'll just toss up some links
and let you decide which might work the best. =)

PHLAK (Pro Hackers Linux Assult Kit)
 - http://www.phlak.org/

Penguin Sleuth
 - http://www.linux-forensics.com/

Knoppix-std (Security Tools Distrobution
 - http://www.knoppix-std.org/

L.A.S. (Local Area Security)
 - http://www.localareasecurity.com/

NST (Network Security Toolkit
 - http://www.networksecuritytoolkit.org/

Those are my favs. I saved the best link for last however. Some quick
"CTRL+F" searching on this page should prove to be quite useful...

List of Live CDs (Linux, all types)
 - http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php

Best of luck in your quest. I've had quite a bit of luck with both
Penguin Sleuth and PHLAK when it comes to data forensics. There was
another one that I wish I could remember... it was posted to this
list. It's bookmarked on a different system unfortunately.

Finally, hopefully Harlan Carvey will pipe up and share his expertise.
