Flexibility: Another reason INTERNET EVIDENCE FINDER™ (IEF) is the forensic software of choice
The IEF family of products are used across thousands of organizations globally by frontline personnel and forensic examiners to preview, recover and analyze Internet communications for digital investigations.
IEF Frontline is the industry’s simplest preview tool designed for non-technical personnel looking to conduct a ‘first look’ of a suspect’s computer. Running from a USB dongle, IEF Frontline maintains the forensic integrity of data, and previews potential evidence in minutes to help determine whether or not a device should be qualified for seizure and a full forensic examination.IEF Standard is the market-leading software used by forensic examiners to recover Internet-related data from over 200+ sites and applications. Primarily used in a lab environment on a forensic workstation, IEF Standard searches for live and deleted Internet artifacts found on a computer hard drive, or in live RAM in 3 easy steps.
IEF Triage brings the power of IEF Standard into the field. Offering the same functionality, and also provides the ability to run directly from a USB thumb drive in “Stealth mode” that leaves no digital tracks on a computer. IEF Triage is particularly valuable for running on-scene quick searches in the field, taking a live RAM capture, and checking for disk encryption. With IEF Triage, you get the additional capability of using it in a lab environment by installing the IEF Standard software on as many workstations as you would like. In this situation, the IEF Triage thumb drive is simply used as the license key, and the IEF Standard software runs from the forensic workstation.
