Supported File Types
Version 6.2
Supported File Types
Proof Finder provides various levels of support for file types used by a wide variety of applications:

Supported - The file type is fully supported, including the extraction of all metadata and content.

Recognized - The file type is recognized by its header, but is not fully supported. This file type
designation is simply text stripped.

Partially Supported - The file type is recognized and partially supported, meaning that some but not all
data from the file is processed.
Processing Forensic Images
Proof Finder can directly consume some forensic images. Directly consuming forensic images allows Proof
Finder to process the source data without interference from the operating system or the file system security.
Supported Formats
Encase:

E01, E02, E03, etc... - Proof Finder supports direct processing of Encase images. Both single E01 files
and segmented.

L01, L02, L03, etc... - Proof Finder supports direct processing of Encase Logical Volumes.
dd Images:

dd - Proof Finder supports direct processing of single file dd images.

dd.01, dd.02, dd.03, etc... Proof Finder can process Split DD files using the option Add Evidence >
Add Split DD Files... when adding evidence.
Note: All split files for the same image must reside in the same folder for processing.
Supported File Systems
Only images of the following file systems are processed by Proof Finder:

Windows: FAT32, NTFS

Linux: EXT2, EXT3

Mac: HFS+, HFSX
Adding single file disk images as evidence:
Single file, complete E01 or dd images can be added as single files.

PAGE 2 of 49
Adding segmented Encase images:
1. Create a directory that contains all of the segments associated with a given image.
2. Create a piece of Proof Finder evidence at the parent directory level. This ensures that all of the files
are associated with the single image.
Note: Proof Finder does not recover or extract data from the images deleted, swap, slack or free space.
