[edit] Notability

On the subject of notability, I would point out that not only are there various tools aimed at defeating EnCase specifically, but there are also books on it (see http://www.amazon.co.uk/Encase-Computer-Forensics-Official-Certified/dp/0782144357 for example). Courses are offered on it too: http://homepage.athenaclc.com/outlines/security/Computer%20Forensics%20and%20Investigations.pdf Mojo-chan (talk) 16:35, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Encase is THE most common forensic toolkit around. IMO it is notable enough for an article. Fireice (talk) 22:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I've restored the notability tag because this article has not yet passed WP:N, especially WP:WEB/WP:PRODUCT, both of which cover software in some manner. Key issue is the lack of any sourcing from reliable sources to back up the claims made in the article TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 11:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree that the article could use improvement, but that is not reason to think Encase not notable. Remember, Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopaedia, there is no need to take a deletionist stance.Mojo-chan (talk) 12:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Still, it has certain standards because not paper is not a reason to keep everything. Fix the article if you think it can be improved TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 14:10, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not an expert of this subject, but some time ago I came across a short Italian book about computer forensics for newbies, which says that EnCase is the most famous forensic sofware (Riccardo Meggiato, L'investigatore informatico, Apogeo, 2006, ISBN 88-503-2520-7, chapter 8, pages 139-142). It also says that the Linux-based operating system "Helix" is widely used as well, thus I think that the Helix (Linux distribution) article, which has been deleted due "lack of notability", may be restored. But I don't know if it is good to cite an Italian book on the English-language Wikipedia, and I don't know if a book for newbies is a good source. Someone more expert than me may find something better out there... --KingFanel (talk) 12:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
