Unix & Linux forensics

Not every computer uses Windows (even if it looks like it). One of the oldest and most stable operating systems is UNIX. Truth be told, there would be no internet today if it was not for Unix. One of the most widely available version is the SCO UNIX, that spans a few decades of history and contribution.

To investigate computers with other operating systems, you need to have specialised knowledge, and usually a network of experts that can cover each and every eventuality. Strathclyde Forensics is focusing in an extended network of co-operations that allow us to cater for the needs of every different client.

Linux is the natural continuation of Unix. Its open source philosophy is making it more and more popular, especially with young IT professionals but with businesses as well. Controversial in its nature, but free and open to intervention, it is gaining a significant market share. However, its open source nature and lack of strict standards, makes it sometimes difficult to retrieve information.
