Raptor is a modified Live Linux CD used to forensically image digital media. Two versions of Raptor exist. One for Intel based computers and the other for the older Macintosh PowerPC architecture. Raptor allows the user to mount, image, hash, format and sterilize digital media in a forensically sound manner. Raptor can image to FAT32, NTFS, HFS+ and EXT3 file systems as either a .E01, DD (raw image), .DMG (Macintosh disk image file) format or even physical device (clone). Raptor also allows for two forensic images to be created simultaneously. Best of all . . . no need to access the command-line or know complicated Linux commands or switches.
