For investigations where Windows is the target,  you'll specifcally want the
following programs:

Title: Kregedit  Author: Jelmer Vernooij  
Description: kregedit is KDE utility for viewing native Windows registry
files. It is similar to the regedt32 utility that can be found on most
Windows platforms. Only the NT registry format (NT4/2000/XP) is supported.

Title: Galleta  Author: Keith Jones

examine the contents of the cookie files. Galleta will parse the information
in a Cookie file and output the results in a field delimited manner so that
it may be imported into your favorite spreadsheet program. Galleta is built
to work on multiple platforms and will execute on Windows (through Cygwin),
Mac OS X, Linux, and *BSD platforms.

Title:ntreg  Author:Todd Sabin  
Description: ntreg is a file system driver for linux, which understands the
NT registry file format. With it, you can take registry files from NT, e.g.,
SAM, SECURITY, etc., and mount them on linux. Currently, it's read-only,
though I may add read-write capability in the future.

Title: foremost Author: Jesse Kornblum 
Description: Foremost is a Linux program to recover files based on their
headers and footers. Foremost can work on image files, such as those
generated by dd, Safeback, Encase, etc, or directly on a drive. The headers
and footers are specified by a configuration file, so you can pick and
choose which headers you want to look for.

Title: fatback Author: Nicholas Harbour

Additionally, if you have a little bit of money to spend, I highly recommend
ASRData's SMART for any Linux-based forensics, no matter what the target
system is. http://www.asrdata.com/SMART/
