Helix3 (Pro)

Source

As expected, e-fense is moving to a commercial business model with their Helix3 Pro and no free support or user's forum will be available to Helix users from 2 February 2009.
To get access to Helix support and forum e-fense is introducing the membership for $19.95 a month or $239 a year. It is not very clear at this stage; whether Helix3 Pro will be available for free download to non-members.

Here’s the excerpt from their official site :

Helix has been modified very carefully to NOT touch the host computer in any way and it is forensically sound. Helix wil not auto mount swap space, or auto mount any attached devices. Helix also has a special live side for Incident Response and Forensics.

Helix focuses on Incident Response & Forensics tools. It is meant to be used by individuals who have a sound understanding of Incident Response and Forensic techniques.
