Image Analysis
- SurfRecon LE rapid image analysis tool, by SurfRecon, Inc.
- http://www.surfrecon.com
Open Source Tools
- file
- The file command determines the file type of a given file, depending on its contents and not on e.g. its extension or filename. In order to do that, it uses a magic configuration file that identifies filetypes.
- ldd
- list dynamic dependencies of executable files
- truss
- Solaris tool used to trace the system/library calls (not user calls) and signals made/received by a new or existing process. It sends the output to stderr.
- http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2239/truss-1?l=en&a=view&q=truss
- ltrace
- Library call tracer
- http://linux.die.net/man/1/ltrace
- strace
- System Call Tracer
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/strace/
- xtrace
- eXtended trace utility, similar to strace, ptrace, truss, but with extended functionality and unique features, such as dumping function calls (dynamically or statically linked), dumping call stack and more.
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/xtrace/
- ktrace
- Enables kernel process tracing on OpenBSD.
- http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ktrace&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html
- Valgrind
- Executes a program under emulation, performing analysis according to one of the many plug-in modules as desired. You can write your own plug-in module as desired.
- http://valgrind.org/
- DTrace
- Comprehensive dynamic tracing framework for Solaris (also ported to MacOS X - XRays and FreeBSD). DTrace provides a powerful infrastructure to permit investigation of the behavior of the operating system and user programs.
- http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/dtrace/
- strings
- Strings will print the strings of printable characters in files. It allows choosing different charactersets (ASCII, UNICODE). It is a quick way to browse through files/partitions/... in order to look for words, filenames, keywords etc.
- Galleta
- Parses cookie files. http://www.foundstone.com/resources/proddesc/galleta.htm
- Pasco
- Parses 'index.dat files. http://www.foundstone.com/resources/proddesc/pasco.htm
- Rifiuti
- Examines the INFO2 file in the Recycle Bin http://www.foundstone.com/resources/proddesc/rifiuti.htm
- yim2text
- Extracts the 'encrypted' info in yahoo instant messenger log files. http://www.1vs0.com/tools.html
- Hachoir
- determines the file type using file header/footer (hachoir-metadata --type), able to list strings in Unicode (hachoir-grep), etc. Support more than 60 file formats.
- Cygwin
- http://www.cygwin.com/
- Linux like environment for Windows
- UnxUtils
- http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
- Common unix utilities compiled for a Windows environment.
- GnuWin32
- http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/
- Common GNU utilities compiled for a Windows Environment.
- SUA
- http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/R2/unixcomponents/webinstall.mspx
- Microsoft Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications.
File Sharing Analysis Tools
- P2P Marshal
- Tools to discover and analyze peer-to-peer files for Windows.
