Mmmmm

Okay

Xways Forensics as it is referred to is a computer forensic evidence acquisition, case management, investigation and report producing piece of software....much like Encase and FTK.

Advantages/Disadvantages - swings and roundabouts.......hard to nail these.......if it works it works....if not ahh well..........not highly regarded by courts or police as Encase and FTK are. Not quite so powerful either.

I think Xways is currently at version 13 SR1

Use it to recover data or produce forensic evidence

Hope that helps

Andy
