About AFF (.AFF)
AFF stands for Advanced Forensic Format, a file type used primarily for storing disk images and digital evidence in forensic investigations. It helps investigators preserve data integrity while allowing flexible metadata storage. The format was developed to overcome limitations of older forensic image formats like E01. AFF files are key in legal and cybersecurity fields for data analysis and court evidence.
Technical Details
AFF files typically use a header to store metadata, followed by data blocks representing the disk image. Compression algorithms like zlib can be applied to reduce file size without losing data fidelity. The format supports both sector-based and file-based imaging techniques. AFF is open-source, allowing forensic software developers to implement and extend support easily.
Additional Information & Use Cases
AFF files can contain compressed or uncompressed raw disk data, along with extensive metadata such as hash values and timestamps. This metadata helps ensure the authenticity and chain of custody of the evidence. The format supports large file sizes and is designed for compatibility with various forensic tools. AFF was introduced by the Sleuth Kit team to standardize forensic imaging practices.
