Digital Forensics Tool - FRED
Forensics Registry Editor (FRED) is a specialized tool designed for in-depth analysis and editing of the Windows registry in a forensic context. This tool allows investigators to examine, modify, and export registry keys and values from live systems or offline registry hives extracted from suspect machines. FRED provides detailed insights into registry changes, user activity, and system configurations critical for digital forensics investigations. By working with snapshots of the registry, FRED enables timeline reconstruction and aids in identifying potential indicators or compromise (IoCs) or malicious persistence mechanisms. The tool’s user-friendly interface and export capabilities make it suitable for both live forensics and post-incident investigations, providing comprehensive reports that can be used for further analysis or as evidence in legal proceedings.
