This talk will be a tool review of x-ways forensics. Even though this is commercial software, I found it to be crucial in every single one of my investigations. Forensics is a tough field in that there are few tools that can only be viewed or demo’ed if you are part of an organization or have money to purchase the software. I will show the latest version of x-ways forensics and how it can be used in an investigation. I will also do some small comparisons with encase, autopsy, and forensics explorer to show the differences. This will be beneficial to someone beginning in forensics as I will be going over some forensic techniques or someone who does forensics but has not had the ability to try x-ways.
