C4All The popular C4All program, used by law enforcement and
others worldwide to categorize pictures and videos, is now available as an
X-Tension,
from the C4All forum and
here,
for free. For v17.7 SR-5 and later. About 6 times faster in X-Ways Forensics
than in competing software! Thanks to Steve Frawley, D. F., and Trevor F.
for their great work. The downloadable guides describe how to best use the
X-Tension with the strategy hash sets, but your own hash sets can be used as
well.
VirusTotal X-Tension This new X-Tension allows an examiner to check the status of a file via the VirusTotal API directly through X-Ways Forensics and get the status in the messages window. Note that this does not submit the file to VirusTotal, it only checks to see if an existing report exists for a given file's hash value and retrieves the results. All checks are performed via SSL. X-Tension available from here. Developed and tested with X-Ways Forensics 17.7, but should work with any version past v16.9. Thanks a lot to Chad Gough for this effort, based on his own C# adaption of the X-Tension API. Miscellaneous
