CarvPath (libcarvpath) is a library aimed at computer forensic tools that process disk and/or memory dump images or other large data files. The library allows the creation and manipulation of CarvPath annotations, which are a way to annotate partitions, files, alternate streams, processes etc. within a disk or memory image as a string. Entities within a CarvPath notation can be fragmented and/or nested, and allow for the expression of 'sparse' fragments within an entity. The CarvPath annotations resemble a path string in a filesystem, and thus present a basis for the interaction between computer forensics tools and the CarvPath-based user space file-system, CarvFs.
CarvFS is a user space FUSE filesystem aimed at computer forensic tools that process disk and/or memory dump images or other large data files. The filesystem allows CarvPath-aware tools to use CarvPath annotations as a way to designate partitions, files, alternate streams, processes etc. within a disk or memory image as a string, making them available trough the filesystem as a pseudo file that can be handed to other tools. This removes the need to copy the information out of the disk image and reduces storage requirements.
mbrChunker is a utility that allows you to mount raw disk images (created by dd, dcfldd, dc3dd, ftk imager, etc.) and create VMDK files. It does this by taking the raw image, analyzing the master boot record (physical sector 0), and getting specific information that is need to create a working VMDK file that points to your raw image. It can also extract information such as heads, cylinders, and sectors per track. With version 0.3.15, the tool now has the ability to search for hex byte offsets within any binary file. It will give you the byte location for every hex pattern found. More information about this can be found in the README.
Xtract attempts to demonstrate how Wireshark's powerful network traffic analysis capabilities can be combined with the file carving capabilities of programs such as Foremost and NetworkMiner in a manner that is portable and extensible (hence the choice of Perl). Specifically, it offers automated extraction of network stream sessions; visualization of networks via GraphViz; and integration of file carving capability. The scripts are intended as a proof-of-concept for how tedious tasks of reassembling TCP/UDP streams from network capture files and file carving based on these streams can be automated.

Fortools_dd is a set of forensic apps, created with zenity, for terminal commandos and bash scripts in Linux. It includes Mount_dd (a mounting images app), kijknekerap (a Dutch Terminal app), fgrep_dd (grep apps), convert_dd (a conversion app for aff > dd > EWF), shred_dd (a shredding app), filecopy_dd (a search-and-copy app), forensic_wine_dd (a Windows software with Wine app), reportmaker_dd (a small reportmaking app), Browserhistory_dd (a history app), and Offsetgrabber_dd (an offset viewing app).
