The Forensics and Reporting submenu lists forensics and forensics-adjacent tools. These include:

[Scanning Disk Images and Directories with Bulk Reviewer](Scanning Disk Images and Directories with Bulk Reviewer)
* **BitCurator Mounter**: A lightweight GUI tool to assist with mounting and unmounting devices.
* **Brunnhilde**: A tool to generate aggregate reports of files in a directory or disk image based on input from Richard Lehane's [Siegfried](http://www.itforarchivists.com/siegfried). Can optionally analyze content using bulk_extractor.
* **bulk_extractor**: A tool to scan disk images and directories for PII and other features.
* **Bulk Reviewer**: A tool to scan disk images and assist in the review of bulk_extractor reports.
* **Deark**: A utility for file format and metadata analysis, data extraction, decompression, and image format decoding.
* **DiskType**: A tool to detect the content format of a disk or disk image. It knows about common file systems, partition tables, and boot codes.
* **fiwalk**: A program that processes a disk image using the SleuthKit library and outputs its results in Digital Forensics XML, the Attribute Relationship File Format (ARFF) format used by the Weka Datamining Toolkit, or an easy-to-read textual format.
* **identify-filenames**: A postprocessing script for bulk_extractor that reads report files and produces annotated versions with the file that contains each feature (when present) identified.
* **md5deep**: a set of programs to compute [MD5](https://md5deep.sourceforge.net/#md5), [SHA-1](https://md5deep.sourceforge.net/#sha1), [SHA-256](https://md5deep.sourceforge.net/#sha256) and other digests
* **nsrllookup**: Query NSRL’s MD5 hashes of known pieces of software.
* **PhotoRec**: File data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents and archives from media.
* **RegRipper**: Extract the contents of Windows registry backups.
* **Siegfried**: Signature-based file format identification.
* **SSDeep**: Fuzzy hashing tool.
* **TestDisk**: Data recovery software, companion to PhotoRec.
