Born from an idea of Stefano Fratepietro, DEFT (acronym for Digital Evidence & Forensics Toolkit) is a distribution made for Digital Forensics and Incident Response, with the purpose of running live on systems without tampering or corrupting devices (hard disks, pendrives, etc…) connected to the PC/Mac where the boot process takes place.

The DEFT system is based on GNU Linux, it can run live (via DVDROM or USB pendrive) or run as a Virtual Appliance on VMware.
