Open Source Linux File Systems

Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained boot image that securely wipes hard disk drives (HDDs). DBAN is appropriate for personal use, bulk data destruction, or emergency data destruction for HDDs, but is not recommended for solid-state drives (SSDs), sanitization that requires auditable compliance documentation, or technical support.

VeraCrypt is a free disk encryption software brought to you by IDRIX (https://www.idrix.fr) and based on TrueCrypt 7.1a. It adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. It also solves many vulnerabilities and security issues found in TrueCrypt. This enhanced security adds some delay ONLY to the opening of encrypted partitions without any performance impact to the application use phase. This is acceptable to the legitimate owner but it makes it much harder for an attacker to gain access to the encrypted data. All released files are PGP signed with key ID=0x680D16DE, available on key servers and downloadable at https://www.idrix.fr/VeraCrypt/VeraCrypt_PGP_public_key.asc VeraCrypt can mount TrueCrypt volumes. It also can convert them to VeraCrypt format. Documentation: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Documentation.html FAQ : https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/FAQ.html

The Digital Forensic Tool Testing (DFTT) project creates test images for digital forensic acquisition and analysis tools. These images can be used by a tool developers and owners to test their software.

The Sleuth Kit is a C++ library and collection of open source file system forensics tools that allow you to, among other things, view allocated and deleted data from NTFS, FAT, FFS, EXT2, Ext3, HFS+, and ISO9660 images.

WipeFreeSpace is a program to securely erase/wipe/overwrite/shred the free space on file systems WITHOUT DESTROYING EXISTING FILES, to prevent recovery of deleted sensitive data. This allows protecting the user's privacy when e.g. selling the drive or the whole computer. The following filesystems are supported: - Ext2/3/4, - NTFS, - XFS, - ReiserFSv3/4, - FAT12/16/32, - MinixFS1/2, - JFS, - HFS/HFS+, - OCFS. The following wiping methods are supported: Gutmann-like, random, Schneier, DoD. Additionally, WipeFreeSpace can finalize wiping the filesystem by writing blocks of zeros, which is friendly for sparse files, virtual systems and other places where zeroed-out space is not physically allocated. See the project homepage https://wipefreespace.sourceforge.io and the project Wiki in the menu above. To prevent clear-text data from being left on the drive in the first place, you can use LibSecRm (https://libsecrm.sourceforge.io), which wipes the data on-the-fly.

mac-robber is a digital forensics and incident response tool that can be used with The Sleuth Kit to create a timeline of file activity for mounted file systems.

cryptmount allows management and user-mode mounting of encrypted filing systems on GNU/Linux systems. Filesystems & crypto-swap can be on either raw block devices or ordinary files, with device-mapper (dm-crypt) and loopback devices setup automatically.

Xorin is a secure drive erase program that provides the perfect solution to anyone who wants to secure their private data before selling or utilization their PC or drive storage. Xorin is also good in all situations where you want to ensure that deleted data stays deleted and that it can never be recovered. Xorin operates from its own Linux-based bootable environment, Linux or Windows operation system. Xorin supports all popular security methods and standards including DoD 5220.22-M. You can erase your drives unlimited times. In our free version we do not limit quantity of erasing. Also there is no program limitation for parallel drive quantity you want erase.

- Fast Wipe: wipe files and/or free hd space FAST! - Fast wipe has also secure deletion! wipe&fswipe now supports up to 12 different wipe standards. - It works from command line: windows and linux os available. - Works on any mounted partition. - Added windows installer - Completely Rewritten and Improved - Fixed windows execution usn

Discover hidden files you never seen before! NTFS ADS is an forensic/security utility to reveal, list, delete, determine contents, extract and copy hidden files from NTFS Alternate Data Streams.

This is the final release of truecrypt (7.1a) ported to use wxGTK3 instead of 2.8. None of the underlying code has changed, instead the compile errors due to modern distros using and updated version of wxGTK have been resolved (for now).

Outdated! Only works for Firefox 3.0-3.2. ff3hr is a forensic tool to recover deleted history records from Firefox 3. FF3 uses various SQLite databases to store the history, and this tool can recover records from different tables in an disk image.

iWatch is a realtime filesystem monitoring program. It is a tool for detecting changes in filesystem and reporting it immediately.It uses a simple config file in XML format and is based on inotify, a file change notification system in the Linux kernel.

MetFS is a filesystem in userspace that is FUSE based, encrypted, dynamic sized (increase when new data added, decrease when data removed), single file when it's unmounted and very fast. MetFS 's proved to be running on Linux and FreeBSD.

SD4L is a suite of Linux tools including a graphical user interface which allow the creation of, and access to ScramDisk as well as TrueCrypt encrypted container files. In particular, SD4L provides a Linux driver which enables mounting of containers.

vstegfs has moved to http://sourceforge.net/projects/stegfs

Derived from TrueCrypt 6.3 release, I added some command line options to "TrueCrypt Format.exe" to allow TrueCrypt volumes to be created without using the graphical user interface

The file recovery process is not an easy task to run on Linux and Unix based OSes and there`s almost no good user interfaces for end users, so that`s why, El Recuperador, is intended to make a generic Web-based GUI framework based on forensics informatic

just a simple prototype for acfs

BXR is an open source, ruby on rails file management system. It is based off of Boxroom, an open source file management project. BXR Allows you to upload, protect, and organize your files.

CSharpShredder is a security utility that allows someone to securely dispose of a file.

Caesar file-system (Cfs) is a stackable file-system that provides encryption of the data stored on the hard-disk/removable media.

Casper-fs is a Custom Hidden Linux Kernel Module generator. Each module works in the file system to protect and hide secret files.The motivation: An attacker can read every file in your machine in a bad situation. But if you have a Casper-fs custom module, the attacker will not find the hidden kernel module that has functions to turn any file invisible and protect to block read/remove/edit actions. My beginning purpose at this project is to protect my server, which is to protect my friends' machines. When I talk to friends, I say peoples that don't know how to write low-level code. Using the Casper-fs, you can generate your custom kernel module to protect your secret files. The low-level programmer can write new templates for modules etc.

ClamFS is a FUSE-based user-space file system for Linux with on-access anti-virus file scanning through clamd daemon. ClamFS has moved to Github. Please navigate to github.com/burghardt/clamfs.

This project aims at taking ClamAV detecting which OS the user has to make an Anti-Virus Package for Java developers.
