What is DFF ?

The Digital Forensics Framework (DFF) is both a digital investigation tool and a development platform. The framework is used by system administrators, law enforcement examiners, digital forensics researchers and students, and security professionals world-wide. Written in Python and C++, it exclusively uses Open Source technologies.

DFF combines an intuitive user interface with a modular and cross-platform architecture. If you are unfamiliar with DFF you should read this page, giving an overview of what DFF can be used for. You also should have a look to DFF official website.
