Since version 2.3 the shared libraries and utility programs which implement the Advanced Forensic Format (AFF), are also available for the Microsoft Windows platform.
AFF is meant to be an open-source, extensible alternative to proprietary forensic image file formats. Beside the main program library, afflib, the package comes with the following utility programs:
- afconvert converts AFF into RAW/ISO and vice-versa
- afcopy copies a forensic image and verifies the resulting file
- affix attempts to repair a corrupted forensic image
- afinfo provides some information about the forensic image
- afstats calculates some statistics, e.g. the amount of data contained in an AFF image and the compression ratio
- aimage creates a new forensic image
With the exception of aimage all utilities are available for the Microsoft Windows platform.
