In
2002, Digital Detective released NetAnalysis, a
software product designed specifically for the
forensic computing community for the extraction and
analysis of internet trace evidence. This software
is in use by law enforcement agencies and companies
worldwide and comes with a comprehensive manual
detailing evidence extraction and analysis
techniques.
Over the past 8 years, this software has become more
advanced and offers the examiner great functionality
when it comes to extracting and analysing Internet
trace evidence. The software also has an extractor

forensic software to recover deleted Internet trace
data and the first to rebuild pages from the cache.
It is the industry standard for the forensic
analysis of browser trace evidence. Craig has also
