Logging

There are two types of logs in PALADIN – Task Logs and Live Logs. Task Logs keep a record of all tasks during a session. Live Logs provide information regarding the current task. You can save you logs to any destination by choosing “Select media to store logs” from the Logs menu.

IMAGER TAB

The Imager Tab allows you to output to two destinations simultaneously. Here you can choose between a .dmg, .dd .E01, .Ex01, SMART, AFF or .vmdk image formats. Selecting “Device” allows you to create a clone. You can also convert one forensic image to another by using the Image Converter Tab.

FIND TAB

File previews anyone? Make sure you have a drive mounted as read/write in order to save results. Select your drive to preview. Search by file name, content (keywords), or MIME/File Signatures (www.webmaster-toolkit.com/mime-types.shtml). Select your destination drive and provided a name for your search. Your files will begin to populate in an Explorer window! Select Copy Original to export your results.

UNALLOCATED TAB

Many file carving utilities exist but how do you grab just the unallocated space, file slack and free space from a drive and save this as a file? The Unallocated Tab is your solution.

PALADIN and PALADIN Toolbox is developed as a courtesy for the forensic community from the SUMURI team. We hope that you put PALADIN to good use. We realize that many agencies have limited or no budgets. We have sat in your seats so we understand. We were and are examiners too.

We hope that you can use PALADIN to make the world a better place.
