US Army Releases Code For Internal Forensics Framework

An anonymous reader writes: The U.S. Army Research Laboratory in Maryland has released on GitHub a version of a Python-based internal forensics tool which the army itself has been using for five years. Dshell is a Linux-based framework designed to help investigators identify and examine compromised IT environments. One of the intentions of the open-sourcing of the project is to involve community developers in the creation of new modules for the framework. The official release indicates that the version of Dshell released to Github is not necessarily the same one that the Army uses, or at least that the module package might be pared down from the Army-issued software.

The famous folks who brought you Torture at Abu Ghraib, The Ohio State Army National Guard shootings, the My Lai Massacre, the murder and coverup of Pat Tillman, the gang-rape and killing of 14-year-old Iraqi girl Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi, the Walter Reed Army Medical Center neglect scandal, the mass murder of Iraqi civilians committed in the town of Ishaqi in March 2006, and The Maywand District killings in Afghanistan would like to ask for a bit of help with some python.
