An interesting article. Too bad the school has nothing on their site about this.

Australian university students have developed a Linux-based data forensics tool to help police churn through a growing backlog of computer-related criminal investigations.
The tool was developed by students from Edith Cowan University's School of Computing and Information Sciences and will help the Western Australian Police Computer Crime Squad process their forensic investigations.
Called Simple (for Simple Image Preview Live Environment), the software allows investigators to view and acquire forensic data at the scene of the crime without compromising the integrity of data as it is collected.
Same here.
