First off, thanks for everyones response in regards to the recent post, the overwhelming support and knowledge here is great.
I have downloaded WinHex and used it here and there. This may be a silly question but what is the difference between the Xway forensics & Winhex?
Have you tried going to Stefan's site and looking there for that information?
X-Ways has better bookmarking, reporting, data recovery as well as the ability to properly deal with an evidence file (dd, E01).
You can see the difference here
everything after "…and then some" is a benefit of XWF
Patrick and Jot saved you from having to go and look it up yourself.
I was asking if he had gone to the site and looked. Gets tiring for people asking
What computer should I buy
What training should I take
Whats the difference between these items
How do I conduct my investigation.
One thing I haven't seen on here is after all the information is provided to them would be "how can I get you part of this money I'm making for your help"
forensicakb I apologize that you feel so disgruntled an angry in regards to my questions. If this is the case, feel free NOT to answer them.
I am new to some of this and trying to learn as much as I can based on recommendations from some key experts in the field.
I apologize you feel so violated and no worries on answering any of my past or future posts.
I have mentioned several times that I appreciate everyones help and I realize that's not enough for you so where would you like your check sent?
Best regards.

Chill …. Even if you feel justified in taking insult at someone else's words, expressing such in a public forum rarely does your reputation any good. Take a deep breath and either move on without replying, or reply with less emotion.

Hi reedsie,
My only issue is with people who post without looking or using the search feature.
Plenty of new people come in here but use both and then post what they need.
Your question about a comparison was found in about 30 seconds.
The check comment is in reference to all the people on here who ask for help and then you never see them again until either mid-terms or they get a case where they are in over their heads.

True… I find myself using Forensic Focus less of late of because of these type of questioins which seem to be getting more common. Getting through the chaff to find the wheat is tiresome.
Glad you could post that in public. I get a ton of responses in private of people that are agreeing where people come in here and want you to do their case for them or want all this advice.
The most recent poster wanted a laptop, he got recommendations too expensive
He wanted cheap software he can use, mentioned the gentleman who was selling 2 copies of FTK 3.0 and MFE for 3k too expensive.
Wanted a comparison of 2 software versions.
Newsflash, THIS BUSINESS COSTS MONEY TO BE IN. It costs hard drives, laptops, workstations, safes, software licenses, updates to all the software. There is no cheap way to get around all of these issues.
If you work private cases with attorneys, you will run into an attorney who through no fault of their own will say "I have had experience with encase or FTK reports and I would like you to use that." you wont have that because you only got winhex. Most of the people who do this, (Harlan has already said he is not one of them) but most have multiple tools from AD, Guidance, Paraben, Tech Path, etc. You messaged me about the copy of FTK 1.8 and said it was "too old" I am not sure how you know about something being too old when you are coming on to a forum being new and asking questions about software. Lots of people use 1.8 hardly anyone uses 2 some people use 3.
Rant button off.
