Tsurugi Linux is a heavily customized Linux distribution based on Ubuntu and is designed to support Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) investigations, malware analysis and OSINT activities.
Usually forensics workstations are powerful but if you need you can find here below the minimal recommended hardware configuration suggested:
• 4 GHz dual core processor or better
• 5 GB RAM (system memory)
• 110 GB of free hard drive space
The main idea behind the Tsurugi Linux project is to simplify complex forensic processes; however, to be able to work correctly and efficiently, basic Linux skills are mandatory.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
