What is forensic software?
Forensic software was developed for computer evidence recovery in law enforcement. It makes evidentiary copies of all magnetic data records on a disk, and performs searching by keywords of disk sectors likely to contain evidence. It also establishes a clear custody chain for the evidence that will withstand court challenges. It is used to scan disks to which a court has ordered the defendant to provide access by plaintiff’s lawyer(s) during the discovery phase of litigation, as well as for industrial espionage.
