Virtualize Your Investigations
VFC Virtual Forensics
VFC gives a new dynamic to the way an investigator works on an investigation VFC Lab puts the investigator “in the room” with the original user, providing invaluable access to software and data that cannot be easily found with a typical examination. The investigator can find evidence in its easiest format, just like the original user. Each device that is examined is different, and therefore, having quick and easy access to the original is invaluable.
VFC has many features which make it one of the most powerful tools that a digital\cyber\incident response forensic investigator can use.
- Create a VM, including bypassing the user account passwords, and injecting your preferred analysis software.
- Quickly triages a device within minutes of obtaining the device.
- The generated VM can be viewed as a sandbox environment that not only allows you to analyse the device, it allows you to test and change things repeatably.

VFC LAB Features
Password Bypass Tool does as its name suggests and bypasses the windows user account passwords.
GPR Tool – resets the local user account password, as well as being able to convert windows live accounts to local accounts. With the aid of the GPR tool, you are able to view any saved autofill information in the browser history.
- Standalone VM – our standalone VM feature allows you to provide evidence to a colleague, a different department, or third party. The standalone is great for report purposes, interviews and court presentations. What sets the standalone VM apart from anything else is that it doesn’t require the original image or drive present in order for it to work.
- Inject Files – This feature allows you to inject third party analysis software into a VM while VFC is generating a VM. For example, you could inject tried and trusted analysis tools to analyse a device.
- Flexible – VFC can be used with a variety of image types, write blocked; and INCLUDING with V7 onwards Single Volume Images
Access computers configured with S-Mode
Triage – within 30 seconds of selecting the partition, you will be able to view the VFC Triage log that can provide you with the following:
- Recently accessed files
- Recent app
- Recent URLS
- Installed applications
- Windows history
- Installed documents
- Chrome history
- Windows links
- List of previously connected USB devices
- List of user accounts
- Last user logged on
- Last used date
We realise that not one organisation or entity is the same when it comes to who triages devices and how devices are triaged. That’s why it is important to have a simple tool that allows someone to look at evidence in a simple format is crucial.
BACK TO THE FUTURE – VFC is capable of creating a virtual machine with a desired date and time. Enabling you to access licensed software and applications still in their license period.
- VFC has scripts to enable you to seamlessly work with X-W ays, EnCase.
- VFC can be used in Memory capture analysis in both live and deadbox enquiries by creating a .vmem file for analysis when generating a VM

- Access time-limited or expired software
- Interact with original connected devices such as:
- iPhones (via iTunes accounts)
- Encrypted partitions or USB drives
- Restore point Forensics – Rewind the VM to show what may have been changed by a user

Being able to quickly triage a computer device on scene is vital. When conducting on scene triage, you want to be in and out as quickly as possible, while collecting sufficient evidence to warrant bringing the device back to the lab or even decide it does not meet the case parameters.

- Installed documents
- Windows history
- Chrome history
- Windows links
- List of previously connected USB devices
- List of user accounts
- Last user logged on
- Last used date
Inject files – This feature allows you to inject third party analysis software into a VM while VFC is generating a VM. This can be anything to aid with the analysis. For example, you could inject tried and trusted analysis tools to analyse a device onsite.
