File formats
OSForensics can index the content of a huge variety of file formats. This includes: DOC, DOCX, PDF, PPT, XLS, RTF, WPD, SWF, DJVU, JPG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, MP3, DWF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, MHT, ZIP, PST, MBOX, MSG, DBX, ZIP, ZIPX, RAR, ISO, TAR, 7z and more. Recusive containers are also supported. So it is possible to correctly index a DOCX file attached to an E-mail in a PST file which is in turn compressed in a ZIPX file.
OSForensics can also perform analysis of files to determine their file type if they are lacking file extensions.
