As we all know, VFC takes no time at all to create a virtual machine. Within 3 minutes of pointing and image or drive towards VFC, you will be in the VM doing what you need to do to get the absolute most out of the investigation. So, with this in mind, why wouldnt you want to take advantage of the sandbox nature of a VM, especially with how quick you can access it! Check out this specific example - a customer of ours used the VM to test the OS itself - WITH AMAZING RESULTS!
Of course VFC and a virtual machine isn't limited to this, your possibilities are essentially endless!

Fantastic opportunity for MD5's local sponsored football team (Altofts Football Club) playing Leeds United academy team at Thorpe Arch.
Well Done Freddie ⚽ 😊
MD5 had a fantastic few days at the 2023-F3 conference demonstrating VFC.
It was great to see new and old faces and talking about how VFC would fit into all Digital Forensic processes.
We even had a successful Police Force win a FREE VFC License; however, due to the nature of the business they required to stay anonymous.
VFC has some fantastic new features added, please do not hesitate to contact us if you require a demonstration or even a visit from our team.
Happy New Year to all VFC end users

Good to receive feedback from one of our loyal customers:
"I have had the pleasure of dealing with both Tom and Lindsey from your organisation today.
A minor glitch on the website prompted an incomplete submission which Tom followed up immediately.
In the meantime I had rung your customer service number to check how to resolve an issue with our licence and my account and was put straight through to Lindsey. She resolved the issue within about 10 minutes from beginning to end and was a pleasure to speak to, nothing was a problem.
I have to say that these days, with the pressure that many companies and staff are under, this is not a common occurrence, and I have to say that where we find service as good as this it should be lauded.
Tom and I have also subsequently emailed around a possible visit and furthering how we use your VFC product. Which is appreciated.
Thanks all round for the support and help received today, and include the initial person who took the call, everyone was polite, knowledgeable and helpful."
Please note we have had to mark this as anonymously due to the nature of the case!
Please feel free to contact us if you require any assistance with VFC.

Thanks for attending the ACFE Global Fraud Conference in Nashville last week. This is Lindsey Appleyard VFC Sales Manager with MD5 who was one of the exhibitors demonstrating VFC (Virtual Forensic Software) at this event last month.
Our team hopes you enjoyed the 2022 ACFE Global Fraud Conference and had an opportunity to visit our stand and learn more about VFC (Virtual Forensic Computing) and how it will save you time and money in your fight against Fraud.
VFC was originally developed by MD5 over 15 years ago to assist law enforcement agencies and digital forensic analysts in their investigations of computer devices and their fight against crime.
This software should be an invaluable asset for a CFE, VFC greatly assists corporate cases such as Insolvency, Forensic Accounting and Fraud Investigations and our continual development of the software has meant we have provided a simple cost-effective solution for accessing computer devices in a forensically sound manner without switching on the original machine.
This ultimately allows a CFE to assess a device for relevant data without the cost of a full forensic
Analysis or the need of an expensive digital expert.
I am pleased to also announce we are also in the Fraud-Magazine; you can view this by clicking on the following link for a more detailed explanation of VFC:

I would love to set up a demonstration with you and your colleagues to highlight our benefits and features.
If you are available, Are you free for a quick call the week of 25 July 2022?
kind Regards,
Lindsey

It has been a very productive and successful couple of months what with being recommended for ISO 17025 accreditation and being able finally after the Covid restrictions to attend the IACIS conference in Orlando and most recently the ACFE Nashville event.

· Password word bypass tool and password reset tool
· Speed

MD5 are pleased to confirm that our VFC software does not use the Apache Log4j library and consequently is not impacted by the recent “Log4Shell” (CVE-2021-44228) vulnerability.
MD5 are excited to announce the launching of VFC version 6, and as an ongoing commitment to our loyal customer base and the hardship caused by the ongoing pandemic VFC Version 6 is at no extra cost.
In this release the product has undergone major surgery that once again puts our product ahead of the competition:
VFC 5.3!
This version includes:
VFC 5.2!
VFC MOUNT IS FREE!
The forensic disk image must be “mounted” to make it visible to both VFC and later VMware. Our latest release, VFC 5.2, includes VFC Mount (introduced in VFC 5). However, VFC Mount is now also available as a standalone tool that can be downloaded free from our website, without the need of a license! This has been designed for use with VFC and optimised to avoid common compatibility problems with VMware. Although VFC Mount is designed to work with VFC, it can also be used as your everyday mounting tool.
BYPASSING PASSWORDS
Generic Password Reset (GPR) was introduced in VFC 5 and this allows the user to use to change or remove the password completely. A new feature of VFC 5.2 allows you to choose to remove passwords during the VM generation process. This means less steps are required to access the VM.
LIVE → LOCAL
Since VFC 5, users have been able to bypass passwords on live ID accounts. This was accomplished by creating an exploit using the generic password reset tool. This was performed once the VM was virtualised in VMware.
A brand-new feature introduced in VFC 5.2 is the ability to convert live ID accounts to local accounts during the VM generation process. WHY. This conversion takes place at the same time as the password removal. Again, saving you time during the investigation.
