The software, made by Guidance Software, costs $2,500 and is being used by police agencies throughout the United States and abroad. The software allows law enforcement and IT professionals to conduct powerful but completely non-invasive computer forensic investigation. The software images a computer's hard drive without disturbing any of the components, since even acts such as booting up Windows can change a PC's files.
EnCase can also analyze files in PDAs, DVDs and digital camera's memory cards. It enables examiners to easily manage large volumes of computer evidence and view all relevant files, including deleted files and unallocated space.
