Maresware: The Suite provides an essential set of tools for investigating computer records plus powerful data analysis capabilities. This bundled suite of over 40 separate, highly-targeted programs gives you the flexibility to accomplish a wide variety of tasks. And it gives you the control to conduct any inquiry or analysis in exactly the way you want. Read more below about the software and its advantages:

Forensic capabilities

The programs with a forensic focus are used in the discovery of information or evidence by law enforcement, intelligence agencies, private investigators and corporate internal investigators.

Some of the most frequently used forensic functions include:

• discovery of "hidden" files(such as NTFS Alternate Data Streams)
• for incident response purposes
• evaluation of timelines
• powerful key word searching and comparing
• files verification
• keyboard locking
• forensic diskette imaging
• file reformatting
• completely documenting the examiner's steps and procedures
• disk wiping to overwrite a hard drive to DOD standards
• adding Bates-style identifying numbers to files for evidentiary use

Data analysis capabilities

The programs with a data analysis focus are useful to anyone with a need to extract, manipulate and validate data, while creating a complete audit trail. These programs enable you to access and analyze data from almost any source--mainframe to PC, and to convert non-fixed length(or pipe delimited) records to fixed length. The data analysis  programs are frequently used by auditors(internal, external, and forensic) and by other fraud investigators, information systems specialists, and internal security personnel.

Some of the most frequently used data analysis functions include:

• comparisons and exceptions-testing
• stratification and aging
• statistical sampling or creating test samples
• identifying gaps
• analyzing date (kiting analysis) and numerical sequences
• identifying duplicates

There are also six programs unique to this suite, and not contained in Maresware: Data Analysis or Maresware: Computer Forensics. These add several systems maintenance, administrative, and computer security functions to your toolkit:

• unattended rebooting of the system while running batch files
• an intelligent/more efficient way to change directories
• file resizing for developing test files of specific sizes
• quickly adding a date/time calendar to the screen
• efficient subdirectory creation with fewer commands
• simplified means of changing a file's attribute

• Speed and High capacity: Extremely rapid processing of files of virtually unlimited size (This design feature is engineered through the use of highly-efficient C-programming and by the development of non-integrated, highly-targeted individual programs.) Read our statistics on rapid processing.
• User Control: By selecting which program(s) to use, the user--not the software--determines each step of the analysis and specifies his preferred output format. All programs use similar command line options.
• Flexibility: Do streamlined single-step tasks or use any combination/sequence of programs for multi-step operations. Automate for unattended processing. And simplify repetitive tasks or set up continuous monitoring with familiar batch-file procedures.
• Comprehensive documentation of examiner's procedures(Audit trail): Document a complete history of your procedures and findings at every step. This documentation can be easily converted to batch file processing.
