Background

CAINE, which stands for Computer Aided INvestigative Environment, is a Linux environment whose main purpose is to provide specific investigative and reporting tools that would prove useful to a forensic scientist.<ref name = "CAINE">CAINE-Live Website</ref> This Linux environment was originally created in Italy and is currently being managed by Mr. Nanni Bassetti (Website in Italian).

Something to consider about digital forensics is the four step process model put in place by the U.S Department of Justice<ref name = "DigiForen">Digital Forensics - The Enhanced Digital Investigation Process Model</ref>


The four stages of digital forensics:<ref name = "DigiForen"/>

  1. Collection deals with evidence finding, recognition, collection, and some early documentation with details about the evidence.
  2. Examination has the user to sifting through the already collected evidence with different software. The goal is to find out where the evidence came from and whether or not it is relevant. It also may reveal previously unknown information about the piece of evidence with in-depth examination.

The design goals that CAINE strives, as said by the distro website itself:<ref name = "CAINE"/>

  • a user friendly graphical interface
  • a semi-automated compilation of the final report
