This how to will guide you through the setup of an Image Forensics lab, using Ghiro, a free and open source image forensics tool.

Ghiro comes also with a virtual appliance (it is a copy of Ubuntu Linux with all you need already installed, you can run on your host) to help people get a running Ghiro in few steps.

Ghiro is an open source project and it is driven by community needs: users feedback has a great value for us.

We always want to provide a comfortable tool for user support: we have IRC chat for real time support and a mailing list for asynchronous question and answer.

Today we are announcing a new support tool: the Ghiro and Image Forensics Forum.

We hope this will be an easy to use way share information, requests and feedback not only about Ghiro but also about any Image Forensics topic.

The forum has several categories, local forums where you can talk …

It seems that the old Ghiro website was too hard for understand for people visiting it.

All we know people stops on websites few seconds, so contents should be delivered in an efficient way, with a simple layout and  short web page.

So our burlone, Ghiro’s design engineer, put together …

Ghiro 0.2 has been released!

Ghiro is an automated image forensics tool: sometimes forensic investigators
need to process digital images as evidence. Dealing with tons of images is
pretty easy, Ghiro is designed to scale to support gigs of images.
All tasks are totally automated, you have just …

All started with us thinking about a way to provide users with the simplest and fastest method to test or deploy Ghiro, some users just want to give a try or deploy their infrastructure with no pain in few minutes, and we like challenges.

The game was achieving an plug and play “box” with:

• Few requirements or no requirements.
• The ability to use the appliance building technology in a continuous integration system to be used in developer’s daily testing.

After evaluating some technologies, the winner was a conventional “virtual appliance”, because it requires only one virtualization software (i.e …
