ForLEx 2.0.0 (Armando) Released !!!

YES! After a lot of hours spent on this project finally I can say … RELEASED!

Infact after a deep study on the different tools and how they can be usefull and in which way we (forensics people) can use them. I released this new version of my old forensic oriented distro. The most important part is the WRITE BLOCK EVERY TYPE of storage and the ability to BLOCK DIRECTLY IN READ ONLY any attachable storage. In this case we are sure that all our operation can’t damage accidentally our work. This is very important because, if under stress, we can change the end of our game thank only to a wrong click !

Another “nice” feature is the multi-kernel for differet platform we have 486 – 686 and AMD64 so we have covered a lot of …

For helping to avoid these problems I’ve developed, also, ForLEx Mount Manager (release 2.0) that is the unique interface to the mount and ro/rw operations.
