Avidya - Hardware Forensic Suite

The current forensic method mandates taking the suspect's PC into custody in order to extract useful evidence and proof. However, this method inevitably alerts the suspect, thereby making the process of providing justice more difficult. Introducing Avidya, a versatile tool that is agent-less and comes as a single binary executable that can be carried on a USB pen drive. It allows you to investigate the suspect's PC, providing disk, memory, and real-time network traffic capture. Avidya is a next-gen tool designed to catch the next-gen cybercriminals.
