Re: [sleuthkit-developers] Thoughts about an interface

[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

For the record, I've discussed this with M=E1rcio offline a little while=20=

back, so please don't think I'm blowing off his request.

I too think that a non-HTML interface would be useful, but that is a=20
lot of work.

I was recently reminded though that another need in the area is a GUI=20
for disk acquisition.   A window that allows you to choose the source=20
and the destination and it figures out the needed flags for 'dd' and=20
runs it.  I'm sure the people on this list have figured out 'dd' fairly=20=

well, but it is a bit awkward for people who are moving from=20
Windows-based acquisitions to Linux-based ones.

The bootable CDs would be that much better if it came up with a window=20=

that allowed people to do acquisitions.  In light of NTI not making the=20=

new format of Safeback public, i would think that LE is going to be=20
looking for a new solution and the command line aspects of 'dd' are=20
likely a deterrence.

I just thought I would throw it out there in case there were GUI people=20=

who were interested.  It could even be HTML-based for portability.
