Not sure if anyone has used AFF but I noticed today that they have released a new version. Here is a link to the site
Here are the major features of AFFLIB 2.0
* Direct support for AFF files stored on Amazon's Simple Storage Service.
* Implements the LZMA compression algorithm, resulting in image files that are, on average, 1/4 to 1/2 the size of the equivalent EnCase files.
* AFFLIB is now compiled with GNU autoconf, making it easier to compile the source code on a wide variety of systems at various patch levels.
I also notice that support for AFF was included in Sleuth Kit as of 2006-Oct-10.
I have never used this tool but would like to get feedback from others if they have. I plan on "playing" with it over the next couple of weeks.
happy friday!
