It can image drives to the open Advanced Forensics Format (AFF) in addition to raw disk images. The open and extensible AFF format can be were storing disk images along with metadata.

It makes it possible for investigators to employ their favorite analysis tools fast and effectively. You can use PassMark OSFMount to mount a disk image after creating or cloning it, and then PassMark OSForensics to analyze it.

By creating a forensic image of a disk, it preserves the original hard drive’s undeleted file records, unused sectors, slack space, and file fragmentation. Make disk clones of USB-connected devices, FAT, and NTFS by booting into OSFClone. You can leave.

Key Features  of OSFmount:

The 64-bit format is the only one available for download.You can mount as many ISO disc images as you wish on virtual drives.

With OSFMount, you can use a drive letter to mount local disk image files, which are bit-for-bit duplicates of a disk partition, in Windows. Then, using the drive letter of the mounted volume, you may use PassMark OSForensics to examine the disk image file.

To avoid any changes to the original files, the image files are by default held as read-only.Making RAM disks—basically, drives that are built into RAM—is another function that OSFMount offers.

 Compared to using a hard disk, this usually offers a significant speed advantage. Thus, this is helpful for programs that need fast disk access, such as database programs, games (like game cache files), and browsers (like cache files).

In Addition, OSFMount can be utilize to mount local dd image files, which are bit-for-bit copies of a disk partition. The disk image file are then able to examine using PassMark OSForensics by using the volume drive letter that has been set up. To avoid any changes to the original image files, the image files are set to read-only by default.

However, Compared to using a hard disk, this usually offers a significant speed advantage. Thus, this is helpful for programs that need fast disk access, such as database programs, games (like game cache files), and browsers (like cache files). A second advantage is security, as the disk data stays in RAM rather than a real hard drive.
