Live View

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2006-11-29 19:08

"Live View is a Java-based graphical forensics tool that creates a VMware virtual machine out of a raw (dd-style) disk image or physical disk. This allows the forensic examiner to "boot up" the image or disk and gain an interactive, user-level perspective of the environment, all without modifying the underlying image or disk. Because all changes made to the disk are written to a separate file, the examiner can instantly revert all of his or her changes back to the original pristine state of the disk.

LiveBackup - create bootable live-ISO's from installed Linux systems

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2005-07-07 19:23

"LiveBackup is a framework to create live-cd's from installed Linux systems. It supports different hardware detection systems and provides user configuration separated from backup images. [...] LiveBackup is not a distribution, it is a more general approach to create Live Cd's based on any distribution. KNOPPIX hardware detection can be used but it is separated from the native Linux distribution. The user does not need to modify his system before doing the backup."

mkCDrec - Make CD-ROM Recovery

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2005-06-10 02:01

"mkCDrec makes a bootable (El Torito) disaster recovery image (CDrec.iso), including backups of the linux system to the same CD-ROM (or CD-RW) if space permits, or to a multi-volume CD-ROM set. Otherwise, the backups can be stored on another local disk, NFS disk or (remote) tape.

After a disaster (disk crash or system intrusion) the system can be booted from the CD-ROM and one can restore the complete system as it was (at the time mkCDrec was run) with the command /etc/recovery/start-restore.sh [...]

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2005-06-10 01:55

"This project aimes at creating a Linux Live-CD based on Debian GNU/Linux. It does not provide the whole CD-Image, but it provides the program to create the image. [...] Mklivecd is based on Debian GNU/Linux. It changes the original Debian installation as little as possible. You only have to start the mklivecd program - - with as little interaction as possible - to build the Live-CD ISO-Image."

bootcd

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 2005-06-10 01:52

"Build an image of your running Debian System with the command bootcdwrite. You can also build a bootcd ISO image via NFS on a remote System. When you run your system from CD you do not need any disks. All changes will be done in ram. To reuse this changes at next boot time you can save them on FLOPPY with the command bootcdflopcp. If booting from your CD-drive is not supported, booting from FLOPPY is possible. It is possible to install a new system from the running CD with the command bootcd2disk. Bootcd2disk can also find a target disk, format it and make it bootable automatically.
