Last Update: 2024-02-02 02:44 UTC


CAINE (Computer Aided INvestigative Environment) is an Ubuntu-based GNU/Linux live distribution created as a project of digital forensics. It offers a complete forensic environment that is organised 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: an interoperable environment that supports the digital investigator during the four phases of the digital investigation, a user-friendly graphical interface, and a semi-automated compilation of the final report.

Ubiquity Boot Loader?
Must be installed manually?
Why?

Also, if using it is going to require this much extra work just to get it operable, some step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish this on the website would be nice.

Kind of like losing a winning lottery ticket at the moment.
You know it will be great.
If you could only get it to work.

Great forensic and investigation OS. There are lots of programs to use to aid in forensics and investigating of another hard drive or solid-state drive while using this. It’s stable, speedy and easy-to-use. I recommend this if you need a distro for forensics and investigation of a hard drive or solid-state drive.

I would rate it higher if it would boot.

Put the iso to USB thumb drive using Gnome DIsk Utility. On boot, i received a boot disk failure. Appeared to be looking for a CD/DVD drive. Only problem is, a lot of new notebooks (like mine) do not come with DVD drives. It is USB or nothing.

On their documentation page, I tried to access the "Beginners Guide" to see if they had any special iso tricks like some other OSs do. The guide was not found, Other documents were for 3 versions or more older,

I would be happy to try it again, if they would address these basic issues, but for now, NO GO!

My machine: Acer Aspire 5, 11th gen Intel i7, running Kaisen 1.8.
