Live View یک ابزار مبتنی بر جاواست که از روی یک raw image ، یک ماشین vmware ایجاد میکند تا بتوان دسترسی به محتویات آن داشت. همچنین قادر است که به طور اتوماتیک سیستم عامل لازم برای کنترل image را انتخاب کند.
Live View is a Java-based graphical forensics tool that creates a VMware virtual machine out of a raw (dd-style) disk image or physical disk. This allows the forensic examiner to “boot up” the image or disk and gain an interactive, user-level perspective of the environment, all without modifying the underlying image or disk. Because all changes made to the disk are written to a separate file, the examiner can instantly revert all of his or her changes back to the original pristine state of the disk. The end result is that one need not create extra “throw away” copies of the disk or image to create the virtual machine.
Live View is capable of booting:
- Full disk raw images
- Bootable partition raw images
- Physical Disks (attached via a USB or Firewire bridge)
- Specialized and closed image formats (using 3rd party image mounting software)
Containing the following operating systems
- Windows 2003, XP, 2000, NT, Me, 98
- Linux (limited support)
این ابزار برای انجام وظایف Forensics بسیار مفید خواهد بود. برای استفاده از آن باید ابتدا Vmware را نصب نمود.
