Digital Forensics Framework (DFF) is computer forensics open-source software. It is used by professionals and non-experts to collect, preserve and reveal digital evidence without compromising systems and data.[2]
User interfaces
Digital Forensics Framework offers a graphical user interface (GUI) developed in PyQt and a classical tree view. Features such as recursive view, tagging, live search and bookmarking are available. Its command line interface allows the user to remotely perform digital investigation. It comes with common shell functions such as completion, task management, globing and keyboard shortcuts. DFF can run batch scripts at startup to automate repetitive tasks. Advanced users and developers can use DFF directly from a Python interpreter to script their investigation.
Distribution methods
In addition to the source code package and binary installers for GNU/Linux and Windows,[3] Digital Forensics Framework is available in operating system distributions as is typical in free and open-source software (FOSS), including Debian,[4] Fedora and[5] Ubuntu.
Other Digital Forensics Framework methods available are digital forensics oriented distribution and live cd:
- DEFT Linux Live CD[6]
- Kali Linux[7]
Publications
- "Scriptez vos analyses forensiques avec Python et DFF" in the French magazine MISC[8]
- Several presentations about DFF in conferences: "Digital Forensics Framework" at ESGI Security Day[9] "An introduction to digital forensics" at RMLL 2013[10]

'Erik gives her another appreciative once over before handing her a laptop and turning all business minded. "We've been using the Digital Forensics Framework, ran various algorithms, including k-means clustering, but we keep coming up empty.” “What about SSH, cryptographic algorithms?” Raina asks ...'
