Linux for investigative purposes?

[horisonoma]

Hi,

I was looking for linux/open source application for investigative purposes. Havent found one yet. I'm looking for something like analyst's notebook or iBase. Any pointers?

I'm getting the creepy feeling that there are no such tools for linux... yet...

You want file retrive ideas or pentesting stuff?
Since its both there for Linux.
Pentesting: BackTrack
File Recovery: I have to search but I know its there.. :P

Here are a couple of sites you can check for alternatives:

Linux App Finder | Helping find the Linux apps you need

The table of equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software in Linux. (Official site of the table)

I read about the application you're describing here. Very fascinating stuff.

What you're talking about is a highly specialized application, and I doubt (though I don't know for sure) this available in GNU/Linux land. I would suggest:

• Contacting the maintainers of the software and express interest in a Linux version. (Maybe they can help you in the short-term, or at least log your request for the long-term.)
• Running this software within an emulated/virtualized Windows environment for now.
