This is a handbook of the documentation for LibForensics. The most recent copies of the documentation can be found in the LibForensics project release, although copies are available online from here. Eventually I'd like to create some automatic integration (Docbook -> Drupal) of the docs, but at this point in time it's not going to be much more than a few pages and links.
This is documentation aimed at those developing applications using LibForensics. The latest copy can be found under LibForensics/Documentation/APIGuide. Alternatively, an online copy is available here
What is LibForensics?
LibForensics is an object oriented Python framework for developing digital forensic analysis tools.
How do I run LibForensics?
You don't. LibForensics is a framework for developing digital forensic analysis tools. You can use LibForensics to develop a tool (that you can run.)
Why Python?
Well I've tried Python, C, C++ and Java. C and C++ required quite a bit of lead time and Java is well... Somewhat brain dead. Python is fairly C-like, and includes a lot of useful code in the standard library.
Is LibForensics approved by the courts?
No.
Why not?
Because courts don't "approve" software.
If I have to go to court and I use LibForensics, will you testify?
Depends, contact the parent organization (Code-X Technologies).
