From the README
IPED is an open source software that can be used to process and analyze digital evidence, often seized at crime scenes by law enforcement or in a corporate investigation by private examiners.
IPED - Digital Evidence Processor and Indexer (translated from Portuguese) is a tool implemented in java and originally and still developed by digital forensic experts from Brazilian Federal Police since 2012. Although it was always open source, only in 2019 its code was officially published.
Since the beginning, the goal of the tool was efficient data processing and stability. Some key characteristics of the tool are:
Currently IPED uses the Sleuthkit Library only to decode disk images and file systems, so the same image formats are supported: RAW/DD, E01, ISO9660, AFF, VHD, VMDK. There is also support for EX01, VHDX, UDF(ISO), AD1 (AccessData) and UFDR (Cellebrite) formats.
If you are new to the tool, please refer to the Beginner's Start Guide.
To build from source, you need git, maven and Java JDK 11 + JavaFX (e.g. Liberica OpenJDK 11 Full JDK) installed. Set JAVA_HOME environment var to your java 11 installation folder, then run:
It will generate an snapshot version of IPED in target/release folder.
Attention: the default master branch is the development one and is unstable. If you want to build a stable version, checkout some of the release tags after the clone step.
