Open Computer Forensics Architecture 2.1.0 (Default branch)

The Open Computer Forensics Architecture (OCFA) isa modular computer forensics framework to automatethe digital forensic process, to speed up theinvestigation and give tactical investigatorsdirect access to the seized data through an easyto use search and browse interface. Thearchitecture forms an environment where existingforensic tools and libraries can be easily pluggedinto the architecture and can thus be made part ofthe recursive extraction of data and metadata fromdigital evidence. It aims to be highly modular,robust, fault tolerant, recursive, and scalable inorder to be usable in large investigations thatspawn numerous terabytes of evidence data andcover hundreds of evidence items.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
This version includes some refactored subsystems that should make the architecture a bit faster and easier to integrate with other programming languages like Java and Perl. With the new treegraph library, it should now be a lot simpler to create custom treegraph-based modules for the architecture.Image

Name
       CDA - Compound Document Architecture

Description
       Digital's CDA architecture for compound documents is an open architecture that establishes a framework for the interchange of many types of
       data in a multivendor environment.  Utilizing CDA converters, compound revisable format data can be handled much the same  as  ASCII  text.
       With  CDA  converters, you can write applications that handle compound documents, regardless of the environment in which you or application
       users are working.

       CDA includes the Digital Document Interchange Format (DDIF), the Data Object Transport Syntax (DOTS), and  the  Digital	Table  Interchange
       Format  (DTIF).	 Each of these formats is encoded using the Digital Data Interchange Syntax (DDIS).  Using these representations, CDA pro-
       vides a method for manipulating files that contain a number of integrated components.

       The tools associated with CDA include the CDA Toolkit (libddif.a), the CDA Converter (the main converter is and the CDA Viewers.   The  CDA
       Toolkit	is  a collection of routines that support the creation of CDA applications.  The CDA Converter converts files of a specified input
       format to a specified output format.  The CDA Viewers are used to display CDA-encoded files on a workstation display or character cell ter-
       minal.

       All  of	the  following products support CDA-encoded files.  If you only intend to manipulate CDA files, and do not have an interest in the
       particulars of the file format,	you can use any one of these products to manipulate a CDA-encoded file:

       CDA Converters
       CDA Viewers (dxvdoc, vdoc)
       dxcardfiler
       dxmail
       dxpaint
       PrintScreen
