F-Response Consultant Edition
The Consultant Edition of F-Response is our non-covert (Graphical) version of F-Response uniquely designed for consultants and internal corporate investigations.
What is F-Response?
F-Response is a forensic, e-discovery, and incident response connection and collection application. F-Response was designed to provide direct, read-only access, to remote physical machines (disks, raid, volumes, and memory) as well as remote cloud storage providers. In addition F-Response provides a clean and simple optional imaging capability for collecting F-Response presented data from multiple sources.
How does F-Response work?
Magic.
Actually F-Response provides access to these remote data sources a variety of ways. For devices F-Response creates an AES 256bit encrypted and compressed connection to the remote machine and presents the drives or volumes of that machine as local, read-only, physical devices on your examiner machine.
How is F-Response Consultant different?
F-Response Consultant is the unlimited non-covert subject version of F-Response. Simply put this means with F-Response Consultant edition there is no limit to the number of remote graphical subjects at any given time. What F-Response Consultant edition lacks in deployment it makes up for in ease of use and low price point.
