Hello All,
Arsenal Image Mounter v2.0.009, now geared towards end-users with an easy-to-use GUI, was released today. Arsenal Image Mounter is a free tool which mounts disk image contents as “complete” disks in Microsoft Windows. Source code and APIs are available for royalty-free use by open source (AGPL v3 compatible) projects.
Many disk image mounting solutions mount the contents of images in Windows as shares or partitions (rather than complete disks), which limits their usefulness. Arsenal Image Mounter includes a virtual SCSI adapter (via a unique Storport miniport driver) which allows users to benefit from disk-specific features in Windows like integration with Disk Manager, access to Volume Shadow Copies, and more. As far as Windows is concerned, the contents of disk images mounted by Arsenal Image Mounter are "real" SCSI disks.
Some features that those in the digital forensics and incident response community may appreciate include temporary write support, “fake" disk signatures, and removable disk emulation.
