The incident response framework can be used to perform live forensics. It is open-source. This is a client/server model tool, where the GRR Client is installed on the investigating platform. GRR Server provides an API and web interface to access collected data. You can use it on any platform, including Linux, Windows, and OSX. It also has hundreds of forensic artifacts.
This tool is not for beginners. You should be comfortable with fleetspeak and UI servers. You should also be proficient in troubleshooting Python servers. are the instructions to install the server component. After the installation is complete, you can login to the Admin UI to download the correct installer for your system.
