PALADIN


PALADIN  : 

PALADIN is a bootable forensic Linux

distribution based on Ubuntu and is

developed and provided as a courtesy by

SUMURI. The boot process has been

modified to assure that the internal or

external media of computers and devices

are not modified or mounted.

PALADIN is available as an ISO which can

be used to make a bootable DVD or USB.

Once booted, the user will find a host of

precompiled open-source forensic tools

that can be used to perform various tasks.

The centerpiece of these tools is the

PALADIN Toolbox. The PALADIN Toolbox

has combined and simplified multiple

forensic tasks into an easy to use GUI

(graphical user interface) that requires

minimal training and does not require users

to utilize the command line.

The “engine” that runs the PALADIN

Toolbox is a combination of applications

that have been used by forensic examiners

and investigators for years and have

withstood scrutiny in many courts of law.

New Features of PALADIN

PALADIN has been described as a forensic examiner’s “Swiss Army Knife”. It contains basic

features required by any examiner and advanced features that are still not found in other

expensive commercial forensic tools.

With the introduction of PALADIN Toolbox Version 6, we added Autopsy

(courtesy of BASIS Technology and Brian Carrier) which is a powerful

GUI-based full forensic suite that has features that rival many of the top

commercial forensic suites found on the market today.

Additionally, we have added Bitlocker support and the ability to make logical

images.

In addition to updating to a newer version of Ubuntu, PALADIN has also been

ported to 64-bit architecture which allows for faster processing and support for newer

hardware.

Finally, we have also added and updated our collection of open source forensic applications

found within our Forensic Tools directory.

There are three versions of PALADIN:

● PALADIN LTS (64-Bit Architecture)

● PALADIN EDGE 64 (64-Bit Architecture)

● PALADIN EDGE 32 (32-Bit Architecture)

PALADIN LTS is 64-Bit Architecture and is based on the most current LTS (Long Term

Support) version of Ubuntu. LTS allows for a more stable distribution. In addition to the

PALADIN Toolbox, this version of PALADIN includes pre-compiled Open Source forensic

tools and applications.

PALADIN EDGE includes the PALADIN Toolbox but does not include any additional

pre-compiled Open Source forensic tools and applications. Many PALADIN users only use the

PALADIN Toolbox. By removing the extra pre-compiled tools this distribution is smaller in size

and boots faster. Additionally, PALADIN EDGE editions are compiled with newer Linux kernels

that tend to support newer hardware. PALADIN EDGE is available in 32 and 64-Bit

architecture.
