CAINE 10.0 - GNU/Linux Live Distribution For Digital Forensics Project, Windows Side Forensics And Incident Response

CAINE (Computer Aided INvestigative Environment) is an Italian GNU/Linux live distribution created as a Digital Forensics project. Currently, the project manager is Nanni Bassetti (Bari - Italy).

CAINE offers a complete forensic environment that is organized to integrate existing software tools as software modules and to provide a friendly graphical interface.

The main design objectives that CAINE aims to guarantee are the following:

an interoperable environment that supports the digital investigator during the four phases of the digital investigation
a user-friendly graphical interface
user-friendly tools

CAINE represents fully the spirit of the Open Source philosophy because the project is completely open, everyone could take on the legacy of the previous developer or project manager. The distro is open source, the Windows side is freeware and, the last but not least, the distro is installable, thus giving the opportunity to rebuild it in a new brand version, so giving a long life to this project...

CHANGELOG CAINE 10.0 "Infinity"

Kernel 4.15.0-38
Based on Ubuntu 18.04 64BIT - UEFI/SECURE BOOT Ready!
CAINE 10.0 can boot on Uefi/Uefi+secure boot/Legacy Bios/Bios.

The important news is CAINE 10.0 blocks all the block devices (e.g. /dev/sda), in Read-Only mode. You can use a tool with a GUI named BlockON/OFF present on CAINE's Desktop.
This new write-blocking method assures all disks are really preserved from accidentally writing operations because they are locked in Read-Only mode.
If you need to write a disk, you can unlock it with BlockOn/Off or using "Mounter" changing the policy in writable mode.
