Disk Image Creation Tools
Bitscout by Vitaly Kamluk helps you build your fully-trusted customizable LiveCD/LiveUSB image to be used for remote digital forensics (or perhaps any other task of your choice). It is meant to be transparent and monitorable by the owner of the system, forensically sound, customizable and compact.
Evidence Collection
Acquire is a tool to quickly gather forensic artifacts from disk images or a live system into a lightweight container. This makes Acquire an excellent tool to, among others, speedup the process of digital forensic triage. It uses Dissect to gather that information from the raw disk, if possible.
The artifactcollector project provides a software that collects forensic artifacts on systems.
Computer forensics tool that scans a disk image, a file, or a directory of files and extracts useful information without parsing the file system or file system structures. Because of ignoring the file system structure, the program distinguishes itself in terms of speed and thoroughness.
Streamlined list of parsers to quickly analyze a forensic image file (dd, E01, .vmdk, etc) and output nine reports.
The CyLR tool collects forensic artifacts from hosts with NTFS file systems quickly, securely and minimizes impact to the host.
Windows Batch script and a Unix Bash script to comprehensively collect host forensic data during incident response.
Command line utility (that works with or without Amazon EC2 instances) to parallelize remote memory acquisition.
Incident Management
A free SOAR system that helps to automate alert handling and incident response processes.
A framework for orchestrating forensic collection, processing and data export.
Incident Response tracking application handling one or more incidents via cases and tasks with a lot of affected systems and artifacts.
Cybersecurity incident management platform designed with agility and speed in mind. It allows for easy creation, tracking, and reporting of cybersecurity incidents and is useful for CSIRTs, CERTs and SOCs alike.
Incident Response collaboration and knowledge capture tool focused on flexibility and ease of use. Our goal is to add value to the incident response process without burdening the user.

Linux Evidence Collection
Log Analysis Tools
AppCompatProcessor has been designed to extract additional value from enterprise-wide AppCompat / AmCache data beyond the classic stacking and grepping techniques.
Chainsaw provides a powerful ‘first-response’ capability to quickly identify threats within Windows event logs.
Hayabusa is a Windows event log fast forensics timeline generator and threat hunting tool created by the Yamato Security group in Japan.
Tool to investigate malicious Windows logon by visualizing and analyzing Windows event log.
Generic signature format for SIEM systems already containing an extensive ruleset.
Serverless, real-time log data analysis framework, capable of ingesting custom data sources and triggering alerts using user-defined logic.
SysmonSearch makes Windows event log analysis more effective and less time consuming by aggregation of event logs.
Memory Analysis Tools
Advanced memory analysis for Windows x64 with nested hypervisor support.
Loadable Kernel Module (LKM), which allows the acquisition of volatile memory from Linux and Linux-based devices, formerly called DMD.
MalConfScan is a Volatility plugin extracts configuration data of known malware. Volatility is an open-source memory forensics framework for incident response and malware analysis. This tool searches for malware in memory images and dumps configuration data. In addition, this tool has a function to list strings to which malicious code refers.
MemProcFS is an easy and convenient way of viewing physical memory as files in a virtual file system.
Orochi is an open source framework for collaborative forensic memory dump analysis.
The volatile memory extraction framework (successor of Volatility)

Other Tools
DFIR tool developed by Netflix's SIRT that allows an investigator to quickly scope a compromise across cloud instances (Linux instances on AWS, currently) during an incident and efficiently triaging those instances for followup actions by showing differences against a baseline.
Python DNS crawler for finding identical domain names under different TLDs.
Command line utility and Python package to ease the (un)mounting of forensic disk images.
