Vdig

Vdig is a software tool designed for digital forensics and incident response. It is an open-source project that provides a command-line interface for analyzing disk images and other digital evidence. Developed by the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI), Vdig is written in C and is known for its efficiency and speed in processing large volumes of data. The tool supports various file systems and can extract metadata, recover deleted files, and analyze file slack space. Vdig is particularly useful for forensic investigators who need to quickly sift through large datasets to identify relevant information. It is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. The software is distributed under the GNU General Public License, allowing users to modify and distribute it freely. Vdig is part of a suite of forensic tools developed by the NFI, which also includes Autopsy and The Sleuth Kit.
