The test looked at several classes of forensic tools, including traditional computer forensics tools; network forensics analyzers; specialized tools for such things as live forensic capture, PDA forensics, etc.; and tools for performing forensic captures over networks, largely in an incident response environment.

Today I came across a new tool to investigate the index.dat files : Index.dat Analyzer 2.0 This remembers me of another good tool for Web Forensics : MANDIANT Web Historian which I’ve used in the past to track down security policy violations. It’s good to know that both tools are free.
