Eduardo,

I'm not sure there really is such a thing as 'light'. If you are just
looking to find out who deleted a file and get it back, then to me that
is not really true forensics. (people do this daily)

True forensics involves freezing hardware/disks for legal reasons...ect

If you just want to undelete a file, there are tons of tools out there.
(open source, hacker and commercial) Easiest thing is to search google
or yahoo.

One catch, if the file is on the pc and not on a network and someone has
already used the pc since the file was deleted, then your going to have
a very low percentage of getting the file back.

Hi,

We had a security incident, and i'm doing a "light" forensics.

Is there a log you can check to see IP Address Changes in a Windows XP
Box?
Any good free tool to undelete files?

Many thanks,

Eduardo Sierra
