MantOS is both tiny and undemanding. Our goal is to provide investigators with an operating system that is convenient enough to meet the needs of someone who works on multiple machines. Total installation size is around 3 Gigabytes and takes a short amount of time to install. Since MantOS is easy on system resources it functions on older machines. MantOS can be deployed via live CD, flashdrive, or full OS installation.
There is no charge for the distribution of MantOS, just download it and go. Want to customize your MantOS installation? We provide the very code base we use to you, hassle free and also of no charge. We provide MantOS for free because we believe in a forensic community that builds together. Help us make MantOS the best solution it could possibly be.
