The RAM analysis is a crucial point in a forensic analysis as it allows to retrieve all information normally lost in case the ‘compromised’ computer is turned off.
Thanks to the ever increasing number of programs and the constant increase of the space dedicated to RAM the importance of this phase was reconsidered. Inside the RAM it is possible to print list of open files for each process, print list of open connections, scan for modules, print list of open sockets and so on. This information allows a complete analysis in order to identify possible malware traces.

Regarding the increasing success of PTK Forensics we posted an article "SIFT Workstation 2.0: SANS Investigative Forensic Toolkit" written by Russ McRee, (GCIH, GCFA, GPEN, CISSP, team leader and senior security analyst for Microsoft's Online Services Security Incident Management team) as he tested PTK for ramdump analysis. The PTK Forensics inclusion in the SANS Investigative Forensic Toolkit confirms the interest of the community in our project.
New Features are going to be included in the IncMan Suite, the Ultimate Incident Management Software From DFlabs.
Synchronization
The synchronization module was developed thanks to our experience and inserted in the Incident Management Suite as it answered operational requirements. The coordination option, designed for the management of investigation teams and thus available with DIM module, keeps case information updated. For example, if a number of investigators work in succession on the same case, they will be able to synchronize their copy of the database and keep it constantly updated to keep up with the overall progress on the job.
An example may help to make this clearer. An investigator takes on a case and notes down all the available data on his laptop. Back at the office or at home using a network connection, he synchronizes his local database with the remote back-end database. Another investigator continuing with the same case the next day just has to "upload" the case information from the back-end database and carry on the work. The only thing the user has to worry about is to know the name or ID of the case he or she is working on. If local case information is present, the program verifies just how recent it is and synchronizes it with the back end, which thus remains constantly updated in terms of progress on the investigation. DIM module enables the synchronization between the local and the remote database. This feature is useful when investigators have to carry out tasks out of the office or when they don't have the possibility to connect themselves to the local database.
It is possible, for every investigator, to synchronize his own local database and download all the updated information concerning a case. At the end of the operation, the operator can insert the data in the central database in order to render them available for other activities.
Whistleblower Capability
As stated by the Society for Human Resource Management, In the fast-paced world of business, many employers cannot react fast enough when faced with a whistle-blower who is working inside their own company. The whistle-blower protections of SOX (SOX) prohibit publicly traded corporations from taking any adverse employment action against an employee that has blown the whistle on the company (18 U.S.C. 1514A(a)). SOX protections are triggered when an employee internally reports or externally discloses conduct he or she reasonably believes constitutes a violation of mail, wire, bank or securities fraud.
Whistleblower service is for any organisation aiming to minimise workplace misconduct through the use of an independent and trusted whistleblowing reporting mechanism. Our Incident Management Software, supports all certification and accreditation processes required by sections 3505 and 3544 of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), as well as the ability to report and manage incidents associated with government facilities and systems. IncMan Suite also provides a turnkey solution for compliance with the whistleblower capability of Sarbanes-Oxley sections 301 and 302. Incident, fraud, and the abuse of authority can all be combated by having an independent reporting mechanism that uses employees to report malfeasance. Each administrator can choose the information required by the whistleblower form and, through, the admin page can convert a single report into incident and continue to manage it in the IncMan module and/or DIM module.
With this features the investigator and their companies can:
- Save time and money
- Increase confidence
- Gain insight with an effective management tool.
Forensic Lab Management
Lab Management (IMS-LM) is more than a simple Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) software, is an extended component of Incident Management Suite. Built on the IMS platform, Lab Manager is designed to be used by investigators. With the Lab Manager component, your investigator can integrate lab activities into your organization's quality management lifecycle so that you can centrally manage all
resources: software and hardware. Lab Management, the new inventory management software, tracks and manages lab resource requests by viewing the status of all requests, assigning requests to lab personnel.
Like the rest of the Suite, Lab Management supports:
- Sample and container tracking
- Chain of custody
- Storage capacity and location management
- Barcode compatible
The Lab Management allows end-users to know where everything has been and for how long. The IMS-LM (Incident Management Suite - Lab Management) if fully integrated with the DFLabs Incident Management Software.

DFLabs, European leader in the field of Information Security Risk Management, announces the release of version 3.0 of the IncMan Suite, the solution that allows large organizations to manage information security incidents, within a single framework. IncMan Suite controls and manages the entire incident management flow, from artifact analysis to assessing the damage undergone and to complete cataloging and indexing of the digital evidence. DFLabs' IncMan Suite is made up of three modules that can operate both autonomously and integrated. The complete version of the Suite contains: IncMan Module, Digital Investigation Manager (D.I.M.) and ITILity Help Desk Module.
The IncMan module is an integrated component in order to catalog every security incident from detection and mitigation to closure and report generation, thus guaranteeing the compliance with standards such as IODEF (RFC 5070). It enables the investigator to catalog and manage all information related to a breach of security incident. These incidents require specialized handling of a vast number of data inputs including the listing of all assets involved, artifact analysis and so on. With IncMan Module, everything can be tracked and managed.
D.I.M., the Digital Investigation Manager, is the forensic and evidence management module. This component manages images from the forensic duplication of the memory, photographic catalog, log files, thorough Chain of Custody details and interactions with authorities. For the forensic investigation processes, essential today in all large and medium-sized organizations, D.I.M. is a vital support system ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements through appropriate storage and reporting of all information gathered while investigating a case.
The third component, ITILity Help Desk, enables an IT support center to centrally manage all calls and trouble tickets while sending real time notifications regarding the management of respective security incidents. Additionally, the IncMan Suite Console contains a control dashboard allowing all parties involved, including the company's CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team) to simultaneously manage a security incident. Every member of the team can be assigned specific privileges, roles and activities that are centrally controlled. Thus, messages, tickets, tasks, damage assessment, legal and security aspects are dealt with in detail. 'We are particularly proud of the development effort that went into this latest release of our IncMan Suite,' declared Dario Forte, CEO and Founder. 'Thanks to this new arsenal of tools, Chief Executive Officers, Compliance Officers, and IT Executives are now better equipped to respond to cyber-security incidents, precisely assessing the costs involved, documenting every detail for legal and audit purposes, and guaranteeing an unassailable Chain of Custody.' Given the specific demands of the IncMan Suite can be purchased either in a unique solution or as individual components. The IncMan Suite is delivered worldwide on a hardened, server appliance or in preconfigured, virtualized components. Training and professional services make IncMan an essential solution for information security risk management.
DFLabs also produces a well known tool, PTK Forensics (http://ptk.dflabs.com), which provides a superset of advanced functionality for the widely used forensic tool, The SleuthKit. PTK Forensics is integrated and fully compatible with the rest of the Incident Management Suite. For further details please visit our website. A preliminary (beta) video, is also available here.
