C4All X-Tension for CETS users

Re-posted with permission (more info at: http://www.forensicfocus.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=11868/):

Default C4All X-Tension for CETS users

This is the same as version 3.5.12.k except adds the function to create a CETS manifest XML needed for those using CETS.

Arnold will post information for CETS users regarding changes needed to properly use the X-Tension.

C4All X-Tension CETS compatible version 3.5.13.a
http://1drv.ms/1pajcsb

For use with CETS:
1. This will provide a generic “CETS Media Manifest.xml” file

2. This generic file will not include the digital signature InvestigationID, ManifestID, or CategorizationID. However, the CategorizationID can be added manually.

3. With the CETS Media Uploader you can “re-sign” the manifest file if you use “adminmode” of the CETS Media Uploader.

To enter into Admin Mode:
1. Right Click on “CETSMediaUploader.exe”
2. Select: Sent To, Desktop (create shortcut)
3. Locate the shortcut on your desktop
4. Right Click on the shortcut and select : Properties
5. In the Target Field append to the end of the line(after the closing “): -adminmode
6. Double click the edited Short Cut

When you launch the CETS Media Uploader in Admin Mode you will a new button to “Sign Manifest” file.
Clicking on the button will bring up a dialogue window to manually select a user and the related investigation.

Keep in mind, that you must manually cut and paste your Categorization settings into the XML file.

X-Ways MD5 Hash Manipulator

Another cool utility for X-Ways!

X-Ways MD5 Hash Manipulator

hash
A program to manipulate your Hash sets from X-Ways.
It will allow you to Add hashes, Remove hashes, Compare hashes and remove the duplicates, create hash set of excluded files, and be in the proper format to quickly import to X-Ways.
This will allow users to maintain their hash sets and create small diff files if needed to distribute when hashes are added/removed from database.
It works on the basis of add or removing records, indicating duplicates and also the ‘-‘ prefix implemented in X-ways. files with ‘-‘ prefix can be anywhere in set, not at the beginning.
