    For investigations where Windows is the target,  you'll specifcally want the
    following programs:
    
    Title: Kregedit  Author: Jelmer Vernooij  
    Description: kregedit is KDE utility for viewing native Windows registry
    files. It is similar to the regedt32 utility that can be found on most
    Windows platforms. Only the NT registry format (NT4/2000/XP) is supported.

    Title: Galleta  Author: Keith Jones  
    Description: Galleta, the Spanish word meaning "cookie", was developed to
    examine the contents of the cookie files. Galleta will parse the information
    in a Cookie file and output the results in a field delimited manner so that
    it may be imported into your favorite spreadsheet program. Galleta is built
    to work on multiple platforms and will execute on Windows (through Cygwin),
    Mac OS X, Linux, and *BSD platforms.

    Title:LibPST  Author:Dave Smith

    Title:ntreg  Author:Todd Sabin  
    Description: ntreg is a file system driver for linux, which understands the
    NT registry file format. With it, you can take registry files from NT, e.g.,
    SAM, SECURITY, etc., and mount them on linux. Currently, it's read-only,
    though I may add read-write capability in the future.

    examine the contents of Internet Explorer's cache files. Pasco will parse
    the information in an index.dat file and output the results in a field
    delimited manner so that it may be imported into your favorite spreadsheet
    program. Pasco is built to work on multiple platforms and will execute on

    Title: foremost Author: Jesse Kornblum 
    Description: Foremost is a Linux program to recover files based on their
    headers and footers. Foremost can work on image files, such as those
    generated by dd, Safeback, Encase, etc, or directly on a drive. The headers
    and footers are specified by a configuration file, so you can pick and
    choose which headers you want to look for.

    Additionally, if you have a little bit of money to spend, I highly recommend
    ASRData's SMART for any Linux-based forensics, no matter what the target
    system is. http://www.asrdata.com/SMART/
